Well, in the Star Wars model, most people have a common mindset on one planet.

You really think that would work? Usually bullies think several turns ahead, and don't pick on anyone who would be capable of threatening them back. Also, it's likely your "bluff" will be called. What are you going to do if that happens?
Bullies don't think like that. Unless there are gangs invloved, in which case, they're also armed. Not only do I think it would work, I know it does. Also, it isn't a bluff. Everything but the scissors and circut board are real weapons. I have gotten them past security before. And mind you, I said that if someone would want to fight back.
Also, for the kids who want to fight back: Despite security precautions, you can still get knives into schools. Oversharpened scissors, a 2-inch blade disguised as a pen, an aspen leaf keychain knife, a sharpened circuit board, you can get a lot of blades past security. Next time a bully goes for you, just threaten them, then ditch the blade in a trash can before the teacher gets there...

On the whole, all the people in this thread saying "grow up" or "stop being pussys" have been from the US. While the the Brits and Canadians who have posted seem to have a much kinder attitude to it.
Yeah, but remember, our ancestors were mainly poor immigrants with nothing, (Canada too). Also remember, as a nation we were bullied until we kicked Englands ass again. Then, we were able to survive a large scale rebellion, and still saved the worlds ass twice. Just think about that when you write counters to bullying from a cultural viewpoint...

Some of you might not have recieved the same types as other people.Not all kids who kill themselves over bulling are emo, or part of any social group for that matter. In fact, thats probably why a lot of them are bullied.
Just remember: No matter where you are, someone has a worse life than you, and they aren't thinking about killing themselves. Grow a spine, you "overbullied" emokids...
Then they should take a lesson from the communists, Unite or Die.
5 paths to take in these situations:
1) Weather it alone
2) Conform and gain protection
3) Form your own group of fellow outcasts
4) Fight back alone
5) Join the bullies
They all work, and are easy to do. The weak ones can take option 2, and the stronger ones can take 4 or 5. The strongest individual people will form groups to protect themselves, option 3. Only the weakest of the weak wil take option 1...
Search. Function.
Yeah, this topic has appeared lately.
We all know how much most of you hate the news.
Don't make a thread just to tell us why you hate your local newspaper...

Exactly. If everyone would stand their ground, bullying would stop.
Sorry for the double-post, but this also just screams CHAIN LETTER!!!
How many people did you have to send it to?

One there was a new sixth grade boy at some middle school. Some eighth grade girls found out his AIM screen name and started bullyin him all the time. The boy didn't know who the bullies were, so, he got fed up and commited suicide.
I hope someone learned a lesson today...

If the kid was that computer illiterate, he would have killed himself when he failed out of college. Better to clear out the scum early..

There are many things that we could all benifit from uniting, yet at the same time we have our own ethnic backgrounds that we wish to cling to.
The UN may be the closest we ever get to a unified Earth, yet no one can say that it truly does anything drastic to affect the world. The UN is considered by most, nothing more than a debate society.
Whay is your view on this
Remember the EU? That really worked. The Euro has fallen into the shadow of the dollar again, their courts are jammed, and can't move, and I heard talk of some countries leaving. That really works, huh?

Okay, n008, Welcome to the Political forums on Newgrounds.com
1) Remember the 3rd grade? You learned basic punctuation and grammar. USE THEM! This isn't the general forum. For the sake of all others, I will correct this post.
CORRECTIONS:
When you break down the word "politics" into the greek roots, you will find that poli, means many, and tics, are little bloodsucking creatures. So, for your own saftey in reality, don't be a politic.
2) If you have heard a joke about politics before, chances are most of us have heard it too, so it isn't funny anymore.
3) Don't make new threads on common topics. Run a search and ressurect the most recent one.
4) Respect everyone. Your opinion holds no more weight than mine, and even less than the Moderators. Keep flames to a minimum. Flame threads are very rude.
5) Have fun!
*Looks at the umpteenth topic on gun control*
If you want to know most peoples opinions on gun control, use the search button. Most major topics have been covered so many times, I'm amazed threads like this don't get deleted immiediantly.

News flash. I was. All through Elementary and Jr. High. Then I tried to normalize myself, and the bullying stopped.
Also, to the person who replied to my freak comment: I wasn't thinking hollywood perfect. I was thinking halfway normal. Emo kids, hypergoths, or any posers of any group. I can understand individuality, but if a guy comes to school wearing makeup, there is a problem that needs a 5-finger solution. Posers especially. If you're so insecure that you try to break into a new scocial group based on what you saw on VH1 last night, A slight bit of toughening up is neccesary.
I was bullied. It gave me the perseverence to become who I am today.
Bulying cleanses the dregs of scociety, before they hit the real world....
I would still be a christian. Christianity makes sense, logically...
If you don't like TV news so much, hit up internet news portals. Just turn off the TV, the loud noises are obviously damaging your brain...

I will never argue with seniors harassing freshmen.
Freshman initiation toughens them up.
I had it.
I will never argue with any form of bullying that does not detract from possesions.
That's just theft.
If there were goths at my school, I would bully them.
Yeah, everyone's an individual, but if you intentionally make a freak out of yourself, YOU DESERVE TO BE BULLYIED!
Don't complain if you think vampires are real, and you get locked in your locker all day.
Don't complain if you have more metal on your clothes than your locker, and someone decides to shove you around.
If a person makes a freak out of themselves, they knowingly accept the title, and should be adressed as "That Stupid Freak [insert name]"

I already corrected you in your other thread.
Jesus is also God. If Jesus did not want to die, he did not have to. But, he loved you so much that he did die, and he came to life again. For you.
Jesus had a choice whether or not to die...

That I agree with, however, the god part is the big problem here. as Carl Sagan once said, " ...extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence... " but the few "bible thumping psychos" are out of line. I come from outside Chicago, and in the city I live in has 42 churches. How can you justify that?
Too many christians do not agree.
If you want extraordinary proof, look at the many lives Christ has totally changed...
Okay then.
Why don't you all start posting these new religions on Wikipedia, then?
Mabye McCarthy had it right....
If we went around scrutinizing every muslim, would the London attacks have happened?
Evolution is a theory.
It has not been proven in any lab condition tests.
Simulations do not count.
Creation is a theory, that requires a little more faith than evolution.
Until looking at the facts.
How could something as complex as the huan body come about totally by chance?
How could every type of creature on the earth be easily classifiable, if they came about by chance?
How could our atmosphere have achieved the perfect balance of gases, by chance?

Perpetual motion can be harnessed as in infinetly reneweble energy source.
Thats the big deal...
