      I dont have my references handy, but my impression is that the notion of insecurity being often at the root of bullying is far from only "pop" psychology.
      Much "pop" psychology can be true only in so far as stereotypes are. The problem is the people who use pop psychology tend to be immensely stupid, so as to not recognize how dumb such a comment can be when made seriously.

      "Pop" psychology on the internet is a useful tool in bullying. Welcome to the club, LOTM.

          Here's some candid, honest advice for you, LOTM.

          If you're tired of being "bullied", don't paint yourself with a target like this, and with threads like this. Also consider not twisting 95% of the threads you post in towards something jewish related. Also, in the event of a tragedy thread (like VT), don't focus on the jewish victim at the expense of everyone else.

          Other people here might not mind it, but I find it rather disgusting, xenophobic behaviour and it really bothers me. Not just me.

                    Here you go again with the awful post formatting. Ugh.

                    And LOTM, why would I be tired of being what you call a "bully"? If people want to be callous xenophobes that think everything is about being jewish, they can deal with backlash from people who don't like it.

                    If you don't like the backlash, consider not doing it.

                      I was saddened by all the deaths at VT. I thought the story of that individual who resisted to protect his students was moving, and I was proud of what he did. I dont think there was anything wrong with posting his story.

                      I went on to post details on several others, which IIRC, you ignored.

                      Leads me to believe that this was not genuine "disgust" but just a target of opportunity for you, and your bullying.

                        I love it -- you bold cleverer and use "irregardless"





                        Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

                          I live in a neighborhood filled with Koreans, hispanics, white gentiles, and a very few Jews. We live together in peace and mutual respect.

                          Thats a fact, whatever names you call me.

                            You only posted about the others after I called you out on your jewish-jewish-jewish nature...
