Man demands apology after yearbook slur 42 years ago...after reading it, I can't say I blame him -- (link) - Beaker Oct 4, 10:55 62
- people need to start growing a set of nuts on this bullying shit. - groiny Oct 4, 11:00 57
  - i'm partly with you there dude .... sometimes, people just need to get over things ... that being said ... - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 4, 11:21
  - where's the line, then? - znufrii Oct 4, 11:16
  - I think we sometimes classify things as bullying that are not. This most certainly is. -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 11:08 28
    - I'd disagree. The printing wasn't but it sounds like the schoolkids reactions to it was -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:13 19
      - Why would the printing not be? -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 11:14
      - how could the printing not be? -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:14 17
        
        I think I understand what groiny was saying in that too much is being labelled as bullying these days and not to good effect - oblique Oct 4, 11:15 16
        
        Why wouldn't it count as bullying? It's a type of abuse. -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 11:18
        
        yeah, to me "bullying" is when you feel threatened, for your safety. - groiny Oct 4, 11:16 13
        
        That definition is far too specific. - ty97 Oct 4, 11:19
        
        So psychologically torturing someone that results in mental anguish isn't bullying ? -- nm - decline Oct 4, 11:18 4
        
        depends. - groiny Oct 4, 11:20 2
        
        well, I would hate to have to draw that line. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:20 1
        
        sure, it is hard to do. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:21
        
        Just man up. Groiny did. -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 11:19
        
        I get what loosilu is going for also though. If that was printed by someone on Facebook against a kid, we'd all call it bullying without a doubt -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:18 5
        
        and this was in print, in the yearbook. Permanent. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:19 4
        
        Mind you, I doubt I'd make a beef of it 42 years later, but still. -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 11:20 3
        
        the guy is dying, cut him some slack. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:20 2
        
        I'm not on his case, I'm just guessing I would let it go in his case (though I guess I can't know) -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 11:21
        
        call me an asshole, but he has other things he should be worried about IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:21
        
        Maybe for boys. Girls rarely threaten violence, but you would not believe how vicious they can be. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:17
        
        that printing was far beyond rude and harassing. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:15
    - about that TV anchor ... after thinking about it I agree that was not bullying. nasty and rude, yes. And I think you may be right - loosilu Oct 4, 11:09
    - this might be. IMO, it is just being called a name on a grand scale. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:09 6
      - I actually agree with 97 on this particular incident, only because it was put in the yearbook. For many others, I agree with you. - Jim Oct 4, 11:11 5
        
        I'm with you but then *everyone* gets bullied. why not just confine it? (yeah I have no idea.) -- nm - amanda Oct 4, 11:13 3
        
        It's a hard thing to get a grip on. With 2 teenagers in the house...believe me, we've had our share of it. - Jim Oct 4, 11:18 1
        
        I was fortunate that I was bright with my revenge methods. I became unfuckwithable eventually - amanda Oct 4, 11:21
        
        We're never going to eliminate bullying, and I think that's okay. But we must control it to a tolerable level. - ty97 Oct 4, 11:17
        
        sometimes they can't stand up. Not when there are too many attacking. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:12
  - While there some instances of bullying I might agree with you on, it was really tough to be taunted as "gay" in middle/high school. - MDH Oct 4, 11:06 13
    - every dude in high school was called a fag at some point. - groiny Oct 4, 11:08 12
      - There's a world of difference when that term is used against (or in earhost of) someone who is in fact gay - ty97 Oct 4, 11:11 2
        
        if you have not noticed, kids get picked on for a million different reasons. - groiny Oct 4, 11:13 1
        
        This is probably something you'll never be able to comprehend - ty97 Oct 4, 11:16
      - [deleted]
      - I agree with you, and I obv turned out fine :-) (I think?) But there's a difference between bullying when you were in HS and I was, the internet. - MDH Oct 4, 11:09 7
        
        my god if facebook had existed back then (or even digicams) I would have died. - amanda Oct 4, 11:11 6
        
        To think at the time I thought AOL IM and chat rooms were bad. Eesh, I can't even imagine today. -- nm - MDH Oct 4, 11:15 3
        
        I don't see how one person could stand up to the kind of bullying some kids get today. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:16 2
        
        there were different ways when we were kids. I could tell you stories but - amanda Oct 4, 11:19 1
        
        you say that as if I wouldn't know. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:21
        
        yeah, it is an entirely different animal now. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:15 1
        
        but really i do think that facebook's new privacy controls help. el's friend joy has a daughter who is 13 and we all learned the hard way about - amanda Oct 4, 11:17
  - seriously. growing up a weird fat kid and being tortured for it made me the person I am today. - amanda Oct 4, 11:06 3
    - A weird, fat chick? nm - Dignan Oct 4, 11:09 2
      - look who came out to see his shadow! nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:09
      - not to put too fine a point on it... -- nm - amanda Oct 4, 11:09
  - easier said than fucking done - Reagen Oct 4, 11:06
  - right, so, next time someone jokingly insinuates that you're down with the idea of raping someone, I shouldn't stand up for you? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:02 6
    - between the fat reporter posted yesterday? and some of the "bully" stories coming out.... - groiny Oct 4, 11:06 2
      - you know, I do think it depends on how mean spirited it is. -- nm - amanda Oct 4, 11:12
      - Ron Livingston's sister? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:11
    - reference -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:03 [Backboard] 1
      - *shrugs* - groiny Oct 4, 11:04
    - no, did you? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:03
- gotta wonder how that could ever happen in the first place. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 10:59 1
  - where was the school advisor/teacher for the annual staff, he has to sign off on all that stuff before printing -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 4, 11:00
- That is simply amazing. -- nm - volnelk Oct 4, 10:58
- *dying* man. - Beryllium Oct 4, 10:58
"It's so clear that our President is an intellectual and Romney is not. How do you debate with someone who panders and lies?" - #NPR - MDH Oct 4, 10:54 4
- That airplane and that house are very real things that represent the power and magistry of the United States, as are those facts are very real and... - zeitgeist Oct 4, 10:58 2
  - the fact that he lifted the origins of that line from Biden amuse me. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 11:01 1
    - what kills me is that rmoney is the one who lies and makes up facts (ie the no more medicare patients) as he goes - zeitgeist Oct 4, 11:04
- Ah nevermind, wasn't actually NPR's tweet. -- nm - MDH Oct 4, 10:55

Kilbo, if you're around --- we are looking at a new router....we want the following 2 options -- dependablely solid performance and inexpensive. Can - Will Hunting Oct 4, 10:44 10
- you pretty much have to figure they will only last a couple years, I don't think any have lasted more than 5, 3 seems average -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 4, 11:05 1
  - That's....great? I'm asking becuase I'm looking for recommendations? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 11:06
- I love my D-Link DGL 4100 but it's outdated now. I tend to find that "gaming routers" are worth their cost - oblique Oct 4, 10:54 7
  - alternatively, I've had excellent experiences with the Netgear Rangemax (mimo) routers -- nm - decline Oct 4, 11:12
  - Also, I'm not worrying about gaming routers or anything -- just a simple router that can perform. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 11:07 1
    - The issue for me is reliability. You don't get it from "consumer grade" equipment anymore it seems - oblique Oct 4, 11:10
  - What's the new version of that? - Will Hunting Oct 4, 11:00 3
    - They don't seem to have a gaming lineup anymore. Their "HD" routers seem to be the suggested replacement -- (link) - oblique Oct 4, 11:09 2
      - What would you consider this one? - Will Hunting Oct 4, 11:15 1

    - This is the way I feel about Ozzie. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 4, 10:46 3
