You think society accepts bullying?...... or are you getting confused over bullying that may happen surreptitiously but is kept quiet. Somewhat different.Why is it different? Bullying is bullying. And no, it's not that it's kept quiet! Most people have their heads buried up their asses and lack self-awareness. Society "pretends" to not accept bullying, when it fact it is happening at every turn and behind every door. Way to miss the point. Yes bullying is bullying, I didn't state anything that suggested it wasn't!!!! What I referred to was bullying in areas such as the army where it is kept (wrongly) quiet. However it is not acceptable nor do we accept it when it is brought to light. And with regards to that last statement speak for your own door. |

By "bullying" do you mean eighth year elementary students (when it's their third year to be "eighth" year) threatening physical violence to seventh year elementary students? Or do you mean people generally not getting what they want then using tricks and deceits? |

Is doesn't really matter what form it takes. Who is it not acceptable to, and how does it get brought to light? Those that claim they wont tolerate bullying, could be bullies themselves. It is all a circus and charade. It reads to me like you are making judgement based solely on your own experiences. I disagree with you, you disagree with me. I can't see that changing so on that note I will bid adieu. |

You will not ever change others bullying attitudes. It just comes with the package. Like that tool, tickingmask!And generalising everyone. Incidentally I'm making a perceptive acknowledgement based on my own self-awareness and experience and realise that not everyone is the same. I think your package is more like baggage. |

Like that tool, tickingmask!You know I never feel good about mocking the afflicted, but didn't you humiliate yourself enough without needing to sound like a sulky, butt-hurt teenager into the bargain?
I guess we got off on the wrong foot from the start because I said your original question was silly, and you took umbrage. You really should try to get over that.

What kind of sick thinking is that to execute someone for not believing in God? I believe myself, but I figure if He wants to rid the world of non believers that's something He can take care of doing on His own. He doesn't need us to do that. |

I think your package is more like baggage. Look at how the world operates. No, not everyone is the same No, not everyone is the same and stop sounding so holier than thou, as though you have never bullied anyone in your life. Yes, your baggage is your own denial and conceit.
That's a change of tune. and stop sounding so holier than thou
Right back at you. as though you have never bullied anyone in your life
Here something for you, I made fun of a kid when I was about 7. I emigrated to Australia shortly after and cam back a few years later. I tracked him down some 15 or so years after I'd last seen him and apologised. He hadn't remembered it but was made up, though it had plagued me pretty much since I'd done it. As a child it kept me awake some nights. What I'd done was make fun of a bad skin condition he had. From that point on I haven't bullied anyone consciously and have stood against bullying, so don't lecture me as though you know me. And yes that is my baggage. |

This is an open chat forum, so need to get all snarky about being lectured. If you don't like what you are hearing, don't post here.
No, I don't know you and never made any claims that I did. I only suggested that you would have had bullying attitudes yourself. Yeah, so what! We all have this baggage to contend with and I'm certain others have done far far worse things. Sometimes though, confronting a bully with the same attitude is what may be required. It's up to them to acknowledge where they are coming from.
Wow self awareness isn't you're strong point is it? You carry on, you're not worth my time. |

Religion, being the root cause of most of human-kind's suffering, that perpetuates these beliefs and wants to tell others how to think and feel, due to fear and ignorance. God really has nothing to do with it and yet the paradox is, it is the misguided, misconceived and dualistic understanding about the separate notion of God what creates most of this conflict in our lives. Ohhhhhh! Lets procreate abundantly and live in suffering just this once so we can die and then go to heaven to meet our maker. What hogwash! One has to be prepared to do the work that encompasses human existence, yet many are oblivious to why we are really here and what that entails. I never thought my maker wants me to suffer. |

I never thought my maker wants me to suffer. Jesus suffered. Did his maker want him to suffer? Yes, obviously. |

And suffering is a part of human kind, not just for Christ. So what is your point? Did God make humanity? |

It depends on what ones notion of God is. Is this God being, a superior being with the powers of creation and separate from humanity, or is the God force in everything and we are the creators\masters of our own universe, ergo God? Humanity is only perceived as the physical aspect of our being, and this aspect isn't permanent. Only you can answer your question, dependent on your belief system. Well, since we mentioned Jesus, it's fairly safe to assume we are talking about the Biblical God...... |
