Picking on people is wrong, whether or not everyone does it. When people grow up, they stop doing it so much, and the more insecure, less succesful, more pissed of at the world people find more, low, shallow, sneaky ways of picking on other adults.
I talk shit to people here... we all do. But I don't try to pick on people weaker than me. In fact, most of the times, my arguments are fueled by my hatred for seeing some big toughguy on the internet going and throwing his weight around.... It's worse on the internet, though. Anyone can be a bully. Anyone can, for instance, get really good at cod4, play lots of promod, and then go into SC pub servers and rape everyone and talk shit and make people pissed off and then laugh and leave, get people into arguments so they can start taking personal shots at them... who can kick their ass for it? No one. Weak.
However, in the real world, there are things you can do.
If you sit by and watch the kid who has no friends get bullied all the time and you laugh and support the bully, you are doing something wrong. Bullying people doesn't make them have thicker skin.... at all. It actually traumatizes people makes them less able to cope with stress, motivation, self doubt...etc. and actually has a profound effect on brain function in the emotional part of the brain (mid brain).
It may sound like a joke, and one of those PC, PR videos to stop bullying.... but for real. Bullying is a problem, and bullies are pieces of shit. Next time I see some kid getting picked on like that, I'm stepping in. If i was in Massachusetts, I already woulda smacked one of the douchebags that gives D.Wolf trouble all the time.
Pure and simple:
It's wrong
It's weak
It's a low form of human dominance
It takes very little to NO talent or skill
So beat the shit out of bullies. Don't let them talk shit to other people who don't deserve it.
Also, if you have ever turned your back on one of your friends because they were turned into a social pariah at school and you didn't want your social status diminished by being around them, you're a pig. EDIT: You're a pig, and you can make up for it by not being a pig anymore.
