    i understand the situation ..

    .. in such that it is they system. That's what's being taught. To be bullied. It's glorified. That's the situation. It's the scholastic additude. power rules. It spawns from the top schools in the country, and all the elite societies. I know that the teaches respect the bullies and commend them. When the collumbine shootings happened. it was a direct result of the liberals pig faced ways. They shot and killed,.. not innocent people.. but insane evil people.

    those did reacted to the injustice they were submerged in. that's the simple truth. the remedy is to have a civil and honest society .

    The social bully has no place in a place of learning.. but these are not schools. they're cattle farms.

    anyone who considers that ' education ' is corrupted and incapable of understanding things.
