I Can't Stand Bullies

Whether it is the school yard or the workplace or in politics I hate Bullies. It was so much easier to stick up for the weak and vulnerable when they were the victims of physical bullies. I would stand between them and the bully and say you have to go through me. They didn't. And believe me, I don't like fighting, I hate it. But some times you need to make a stand. I never fought for myself, only for others.

I joined the Army to protect my country and the weak from bullies and people who would do violence to defenseless.

But things have changed. Bullies use rules and political correctness to harass and intimidate people. They insult you for opinions that are different from them. They use rules of political correctness to suppress opinions other than there own. They hide behind walls of total non-violence and zero-tolerance to ruin peoples lives. Yet, when they feel threatened and intimidated they hide behind the very things they say they are opposed to.

Political correctness was originally designed to stop the weak and vulnerable for being bullied. Now it gives those same people the power to bully others.

Well I wish I knew you when I was in school from elementary through high school. Bullies made my life hell. Was teased, abused, beat up, humiliated, forced to do sexual things. Good that you stand against bullies and the like.

Mate we were all bullied in some way. I was too. My mum had indoctrinated me into non-violence, As I said I didn't fight for myself, so they thought I was a Whimp. Not realizing that I could handle myself. But by putting myself between the bully and the target (I hate to use the word victim)I never had to fight. It spoiled their fun and off they went. Making lots of noise and making threats.
