When I was a kid there were a couple of bullies in the school...now it seems everyone is a bully :O

Juvenile liberalism and political correctness are founded on bullying (FORCING others to submit to your will through law, policy, mockery, peer pressure, humiliation, name-calling, rioting, appeals to "expert" opinions, etc) rather than reason and competent social skills that previously allowed people with differences to get along amicably.

By the way, "reason" includes punching a bully in the face so he'll stop messing with you, and earning each others' respect despite your differences. If you've experienced that, you understand just how reasonable (and effective) it is, without any third-party intervention at all.
