    Re: Wayne Treacy (15) allegedly beat Josie Ratley (15) until she was comatose.

    People made asshole comments to me when I was 15.
    People make asshole comments to me pretty much every day. [size=6pt]Maybe I'm in the wrong line of work.[/size]  :lol:
    I haven't and don't respond with physical violence. I generally respond by laughing at them for being assholes.

    And bowie... I thought punching the bully was the alternative to self loathing? Now I'm really confused!

    Wayne disagrees.

    I'm with the that's bullshit. Words DO affect you. I make no apology that at times peoples words make me angry. Granted I don't beat them. However my brothers are still with me and I'm not 15, so I have no idea how I would feel in his place.

    Just because it's understandable that he beat her ass doesn't make it the right thing to do.

    I think you were confusing people by insinuating that the person who refuses to take shit is somehow the one who is full of self-loathing.

    I think it's also a very different thing to be a full grown adult with the ability to rationalize. Unfortunately, it's always easier to look at someone's behavior from a cool, indifferent perspective and imagine how we'd handle it. The heat the of moment where emotions are all over the place is very different. I don't condone violence in anyway but I see where it happens with young teens, for sure. It's like, how many small children rationalize an inequality on the playgound? [flash=200,200]http://No, they cry, tattle, or fight.[/flash]

    Like I said, by the time I was around 13, I was bright enough to come up with some pretty slamming one-liners as responses. But if you just 'blow off' a bully, to be honest, they just keep doing it until you snap, because they're assholes. It's like a barking dog.

    Edited to add that looking at therapy rates, the prison system, and 911 calls, the same can be said about adults, for the most part. Just in a more complex manner. Some people get abused, they become prisoners to the abuse. Some suicide, some call for help, some go out and shoot the person. And some walk away, but I'd speculate fewer do that than the other options.

    Yep. But if you point out her culpability in her own beating, some people get uphauled.

    Never said they weren't. Just saying it isn't right.

    Most of the people I meet on an everyday basis are assholes. I'd have multiple life sentences if I did whatever I wanted to do, whenever I felt like it.

    Of course. But life isn't fair. It is what it is.

    (My reading comprehension is just fine.  I assure you.)

    If everyone beats on anybody whenever they feel it's right then.... oh wait, it would be just like it is today.  :|

    As long as we're both agreeing on the "it still wasn't right thing" I think we agree.

    She was a shitty bitch for poking at the sensitive, horrible spots. He was a shitty asshole for beating her over it.

    I just can't agree that he had the "right" to do this as some people seem to be insinuating. That's all. Never said that you were the one to say that either.

    I made no such insinuation. I just think that NOT beating people up does NOT mean you hate yourself.

    I'm not comparing people making asshole comments to people in abusive relationships.

    Re: Wayne Treacy (15) allegedly beat Josie Ratley (15) until she was comatose.

    No one ever, at any time, has said he had a 'right' to do anything. Everyone is saying that it takes two to create a situation like this. That's been said repeatedly for like forty pages now. If you poke a lion, you might get mauled.  No one here is an innocent victim, and they've both been victimized, and now both of their lives are ruined forever.

    The intent of understanding basic human psychology is UNDERSTANDING it, not agreeing with the mindset. You can GET why someone saw that a+b=c without agreeing to their conclusion.  I understand why people like Jimi Hendrix but I still think he's as boring as watching paint dry. See what I did there?

    This is why people are like 'suicide bombers? WHAT I DON'T EVEN WHATEVER.' because it's outside of their spectrum of morality, ethics, and personal belief system. But understanding how they perceive their motives helps to figure out ways to prevent this from happening.[quote author=Fleta link=topic=24661.msg1700417#msg1700417 date=1282506392]

    I agree with you. The way you worded your original post did not seem like it was discussing that, but rather that people who confront a bully are all full of self-hate. That, I would disagree with, although I do think that ESPECIALLY IN ADULTS, violence is the last resort of the person who doesn't have the abilitt to properly compartmentalize and rationalize whose opinion counts.

    However, we're talking about teenagers here. I realized in junior high that the emotional transition between childhood and being an adult makes everyone a sociopath for about two years of their lives.

    I absolutely agree with you. This is generally how the world works. Doesn't mean that the way that human nature works is the correct way. That is all that I'm saying.

    So it's kinda pointless to teach my preschoolers, "you have every right to be angry but you never have the right to put your hands on someone."  :lol: Ok, that's all I'm saying. I've said everything I could possibly say and would just be repeating myself at this point which is just annoying.

    Huh? No. Of course that should be taught (it sinks in for some of us).
    But they should also be taught just how hurtful words can be, and to be respectful of others and their feelings. Not to mention that a death in the family is serious, and that mocking and taunting someone over the suicide of a person they were close to is outright disgusting.

    But yea, he hit someone....so that's all that's important. I forgot.

    You can understand a person like this, sure. Seriously, I'm empathetic to a pathetic degree (even to my own standards).

    The "rule" doesn't make sense to me as a rule. I treat people how I want to be treated. Why is this so hard to understand to so many people I meet? I learned it the hard way. Even if it doesn't work out that way I know I did my best.

    What else is there to do? Does knowing mean you can change them or stop them? I'm not so sure.

    Yea, being a bleeding heart is tough.

    Huh? No. Of course that should be taught (it sinks in for some of us).
    But they should also be taught just how hurtful words can be, and to be respectful of others and their feelings. Not to mention that a death in the family is serious, and that mocking and taunting someone over the suicide of a person they were close to is outright disgusting.

    But yea, he hit someone....so that's all that's important. I forgot.
    :lol: That too.

    No one is saying it's pointless. People are saying it's important to understand the one kid in your class who is like 'that rule makes no sense to me and Im going to keep on hitting.'

    :lol: Is this for real, or a joke? Funny either way. The last line is especially poignant. Now my friends, I believe the argument has finally been settled. A solution's been found. The thread has been won.

    Ugh and its THEIR kids, THEIR kids.
