We are going to need stricter internet rules. We don't want government interference, but we demand it by our actions. We are a race of idiots.

The scary thing is that I'm pretty sure he understood your post.

Not to mention that accent, dress style, and even ears can all be changed. Someone's sexuality cannot.

I'm glad the anti-bullying movement is picking up pace. Bullies should have no place in public and certainly not in a public school. Such vermin should be stuck at home in the company of their parents who were probably bullies as well. This poor kid shouldn't have been tortured for something he cannot change.


Really?

I thought an ass kicking was an ass kicking the world over.




"There are people in this country who believe that homosexuals should be thrown in jail or sentenced to death."


OK, can you name some of them?

Why wasn't there legal action taking place? Where were the parents of everyone involved? The teachers? Surely this kid brought it someone's attention before doing the deed.

Take the kids responsible and hit them with litigation.





Right. Imagine if it was your kid, you goof.

"Oh, but he turned the computer off!"

You do realize that Facebook is available on mobile phones, yeah?

Open your mind before you open your mouth. Thanks.
You do realize that you can use your mobile phone without accessing the web?? I guess not. Like I said TURN IT OFF. Pretty simple stuff until idiots get involved in the situation.

Ignorance is a disease as well, but curable if one puts forth the effort.

I think a lot of people assume kids are overreacting or acting 'overly emotional' and boys are constantly told to 'man up' and not complain.
How did you ever survive? I guess you didn't have facebook eh??

According to the CDC there is one suicide attempt every 15 minutes in the US. Culling of the herd. The strong survive. Pretty simple stuff.

This is why we need to teach our children tolerance and acceptance.

Such a senseless tragedy ...


Nature has a way of culling the weak and freak.
