Think this would ever fly in Canada?

And when the bully who was just socked in the mouth and goes home and redoubles his effort, since of course the wide network he has would not be privvy to his smackdown, what then?

Sadly, murder is not an option .

Really?

So we got another one of those leftists that equates self-defence with "escalation of violence".

[kraychik]

Sadly, murder is not an option .

Yes, because self-defence is murder.

[bleeding heart]

Yeah, fighting back is simply too simple.

First of all, you ignore my last sentence...even as you quote it. So much for this vaunted understanding of English you were talking about.

Simple answers don't bode well for leftists who want to justify another complex governmental department preceded by expensive (fake) research endeavours. I mean, it's just gotta be more complicated than that! It has to be!

I'm not justifying, nor faintly suggesting, governmental anything.

You would know this if you read posts, rather than scanning them for debating points before throwing another (politicized) tantrum.

I only pointed out the mostly uncontroversial truism that pounding a bully at the lockers does not in every case stop bullying.

You're so bloody Right-Left minded--the equal and opposite replica of a poster here named "socialist"--that it's made you delusional.

If you had one scintilla of knowledge about laws or any of this , you wouldnt make such a moronic comment.

Ok, so fighting back won't stop bullying in every single case. Do you want an award for that insight? Want the ultimate solution? Expulsion. That not working? Imprisonment. It's not complicated.

Speak for yourself....and find out what a Right to Carry permit legalizes. Bang bang...bully is dead.

Uh, no. Your finally seeing the light and agreeing with elementary truisms suffices.

Also, you might want to read people's posts, rather than mining them for your pet topics, even when they don't apply.

Free advice! (Not really funded through your taxes, either, so don't tell Ms. Rand on me. )

In Canada, self-defence has been greatly neutered, and in some instances, criminalized.

NO , I will speak against moronic statements as made.

I was of course talking about this occuring in Canada.

I know what a RTK permit is and what it entails thanks.

Want to try again?

Because that is categorically false.

But this is the US Politics forum. LOL!

Ah yes...I get it now.

I know...whenever I should get a hankering for a homicidal binge, I know I can do it in Canada with no fear of a serious penalty. In fact, I will get support and hugs from Canadian lefties.

Tell that to Ian Thompson and David Chen, who are both just the tip of the iceberg.

I just knew you had no idea what you were talking about . This proves it.

As someone who was bullied a number of times in elementary school, I can say that "fighting back" is expressly forbidden. If you take any physical action against the bully, regardless of the duration, nature, and extent of the preceding bullying, you will, in general, be subjected to precisely the same disciplinary action (if any) as the bully him/herself. Furthermore, the earlier example of being expected to "forgive" the bully is also commonplace philosophy in Canadian schools. Not agreeing to immediately forgive the bully is viewed as an example of "intolerance", and that is by far the greatest sin in the deeply twisted philosophy that straddles the minds of most teachers and principals in the Canadian school system.

Personally, I find this highly dubious.
