Show me any good linemen in the pros today, and I’ll show you someone who spent his childhood beating up dweebs.
So kick the shit out of those little pussies. Uncle Sam and the NFL thank you.Bullying sounds terrible, but bullies make great soldiers,” said Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Maybe if parents hardened the fuck up they wouldn't raise pussies who can't defend themselves.

I think it's a fine line... I don't want to be soft but I certainly don't want to be a jerk.
My issue is the changes trying to be made within the confines of the rules. Nobody wants cheap shots, so we call them illegal. However, the road we are on, open field tackles are soon to be done away with.

1) not having kids, your opinion really doesn't count to me.
2) no it's not.

I have kids and am not in favor of coddling them. I do believe in building them up, be it in sports, education or life in general. Mistakes happen. Disappointments occur. But you can't cry about it.
A good friend once told me, "Prepare the child for the path; not the path for the child." Works for me.

Remember to keep it civilized, guys. Everything so far is fine but I can see this spinning out of control.
As for the topic, I think bullying is a serious problem. I do think that kids need to be taught to stick up for themselves but only in the event that someone is bullying them. If my kid turned out to be a bully he'd be getting an ass whipping from me.

I really don't understand bullying and I especially can't understand parents that know their kids are bullies and just don't give a shit. I mean, I guess at least with the kid doing the bullying he's getting the rush "being in power" or whatever. But the parents? I'm guessing they were just bullies in the past that never had someone stick up for themselves and turn the ass kicking on them.

I'm guessing the kids act differently at home and the parents don't know. Also, i bet a lot of them stick their heads in the sand if they hear negative shit about their kids.justincredible;1171584 wrote:I really don't understand bullying and I especially can't understand parents that know their kids are bullies and just don't give a shit.
