Yay, humanity!!

I agree with him that it smacks of barbarism. That's just blaming the victim and ignoring the true problem here, the bully.

That's just blaming the victim and ignoring the true problem here, the bully. | Bullies know 1 thing, intimidation. Trying to be reasonable with one doesn't work, and tattling only makes it worse. Unfortunately we're conditioned to not retaliate with violence when we get bullied that no one knows what to do. Trying to talk to a bully to et him/her to understand that what s/he is doing hurts the other person's feelings is like telling some one that what they're doing is working.
You're trying to deal with a base action (bullying) with an enlightened one (i.e. anything but putting them square in their place).

Good guys like Nash and Brees need to overpower the "I'm better than you" classless people who allow kids to do this stuff.
Sorry but this stuff irks me to no end.
God Bless, Ray
