I wish those days of beating kids with a ruler was back. We sure as hell need that in this generation.

It's like I tell people all the time. We didn't back talk our father (or mother) when growing up, because dad would smack us so hard we would wait for our heads to spin off of our shoulders.

At school we didn't backtalk teachers, because the "Board of education" hurt.

I love how gays act like they're the only ones who are victims of bullying.

All boys should learn to fight early on. Gay, straight, confused, bi, gentle, whatever his "choice" .. If a boy learns to defend himself then he'll only get bullied once, if at all.

Not only to defend himself but to defend girls as well.

Yes, defending girls, boys, women, men, cats, dogs or whomever is in trouble and needs help.

Gay or not, a man still has more testosterone and more strength so it's our job as men to be the heros and helpers.

I think it's a shame that some men never learned how to be "manly"

will hopefully cease.
How do you educate the children when the parents themselves are ignorant on the issue and tend to demonize gays too?

Why only protest about bullying against the homosexuals? What about the kids getting bullied because he wears glasses, or has pimples, is awkward, has a weird voice, walks weird, is slow or is a loner... what about people getting bullied because of those reasons?

If we're going to stand up against bullying, it should ALL forms of bullying, not just "homophobic" ones.
Well, while all bullying is an issue - gays face the most severe cases of it. LGBT teens have the highest rates of suicide of any other group due to issues like bullying.

Are you afraid of the word "gay"? Sure, it's fine to say "no bullying", but the message is a lot more effective if it's specific.

Yes, by the less civilized people. Hopefully we can continue to advance as human beings and learn how to treat each other with respect.
