Let me see if I can understand where we agree, it is hard to do with all the Sarcasm Roland00 Send a noteboard - 13/10/2010 08:48:38 PM
(note on this response I am going to refer to kids often as monkeys)

We agree on these points
1) Kids (Monkeys) are dumb, they will bully people they think are different even if they don't understand why they are different (such as understanding scripture and church doctrine.) Why doesn't matter, the fact that bullying occur does matter
2) Kids (Monkeys) are cruel SoBs.

We disagree on these points
1) You reject the argument of Monkey See Monkey Do? Monkey sees Parents do X, you reject this for Monkey doesn't always does what Monkey sees.
2) You reject the argument that attempts via authority figures to stop bullying, as well as discipline via the authority figures; actually does stop most bullying.
