“You are the hard on a used car salesman gets when you walk onto his lot. He knows he can sell you anything. You believe in nothing. SCORE!”
And yet, we don’t buy ghosts, or creationism, or inteldesign, or those copper immortality wristbands…
I don’t believe Hovind just because he says he’s right. Or Strobel. Or Chick.
You need to calibrate your fantasy, here.

“You are a mental whore”
I’ve seen the gymnastics a Believer goes through to justify god not doing a fucking thing to stop any evil on the world at all.

“You hide behind the hand-me-down logic you adopted in a college elective, the shit you had to regurgitate to get that C+ and then throw in a little new age a la Shirley McLaine.”
Never went to college. Never read Shirley McLaine. Read to the bible. Wasn’t impressed.

“Run to the light, bro. Recite some O-chem. Now, blow me.”
Is that an insult? I’ve been treated worse by the best man at my wedding. I think it’s 1 Corinthians that says people who ‘revile’ are going to Hell? Well, if you’re hell-bent, then get better at it, so you affect someone.

i HONESTLY believe that if there really is a rapture, about 11 Christains will qualify to go straight to heaven.
A whole bunch of fundies will be really FUCKING PISSED that they were ready, they heard the trumpet, and they still had to go to work the next morning.
They’ll refuse to believe it was the Rapture. They’ll sooner beieve it was UFOs.
Then they have to make no changes, and just wait for the REAL rapture.

But going back to the question of what grown-ups are supposed to do, I think it’s hopeless of the grown ups to figure out what really went on between the kids involved. Some things I was thinking of though, was this:
- Educate yourself about psychological concepts like stamp collecting, the Drama Triangle, the Poison Parrot, racket feelings, and the beach ball experiment. All of these highlight dynamics that might be going on.

TBH I have no clue what any of these are, other than the Drama Triangle :D

- Forget about trying to work out who did what, and who the real victim is. Both your story and mine both highlight that kids will misattribute events, and I can attest that the moment you strike back, you “hit them for no reason,” which can and will be corroborated by their friends. With that said, if one child seems unhappy most of the time, even when they don’t think they’re being watched, and perhaps spends a lot of time alone, that might be your clue about who the victim is.

…I guess so.

- Consider reaching out to the parents of the main kids involved. If, and how, to reach out might vary depending on the situation, but the primary question needs to be what the landscape at home is like, without even raising the issue of the child’s bullying to start with. Is it possible there’s something going on at home where the bully child feels powerless, frustrated, scared? This could easily get into social worker territory, so I want to make clear I’m saying here that this is something to do in a spirit of being neighbourly. It’s a context-gathering mission. Is the family at home struggling? Are they isolated? If they’re better supported and integrated, then the bullying may simmer down of its own accord. May do, may not - but I suspect this would be a solid start. Literally make it a matter of sidling up to them at school drop-off, pick-up, or school gatherings and say, “Hi, I’m from 6 doors down from you. How are you doing?” Leave talk of the kids out of it, at least for now.

I suppose this might help, though sometimes it would lead nowhere as the parent would not say anything of substance, or that parent is (part of) the problem in the first place.

- If appropriate given your relationship to the children involved, teach them the above mentioned psychological concepts. Some of them throw new insight into what’s going on at school. They might help the kids to shift what’s going on, they might not, but knowledge is power.

I don’t know if this would be of any help when you’re dealing with elementary or middle-school kids. You’d really have to make it simple so that they can properly understand what you’re telling them and not lose interest.

- Treat all the children involved with respect. They don’t have much freedom, and their thoughts are often not given much credence. It’s such a breath of fresh air for kids to be treated with respect that it may help the situation.

I’m thinking yes and no. While respect might help and may even be necessary, don’t expect the problematic kids to reciprocate. They may see your respectfulness as a sign of weakness, a lack of spine which they can use to continue doing what they want.
And the kids who are being bullied may take that equal respect of yours as just another example of a teacher treating the perpetrator and the victim as equal — and equally to blame.

- Ultimately, the children need to do some of the work to straighten this out between themselves, so know you can’t be a saviour, only a support.

I think that here at least you may be, well, naive. Oh yes, the kids will indeed straighten things out themselves — by way of might makes right, as usual. Meaning, the bullies will beat the weaker kids into submission as always.

Being respectful in how you treat the children isn’t enough. There also has to be a very real and tangible prospect of consequences if the problem kids refuse to cooperate and continue harassing others. So, both a carrot and a stick. Because if there’s no stick, they’ll laugh in your face as they ignore you.

If there is one thing that children are rather good at, it’s finding and exploiting opportunities to do what they want. They don’t want to be respectful; they want to have their way, with themselves and with others. You have to keep that in mind.

I’m still testing this stuff out and would be interested to hear your thoughts, if you’re up for sharing them? Same goes for anyone else reading this.

Same, though as it usually happens with long-running comment threads that have large posts, people tend to tune out and go elsewhere. So, unfortunately, I suspect you and I may be the only ones still reading this :S

Firstly, I’m so sorry about the bird’s nest situation. That must have been utterly awful.

Thanks, and yeah. It was.

Secondly, with the teachers’ response to bullying you mentioned, that was my experience, too. A very few cared, most didn’t. I fought back a few times and got treated as if I was being just as bad. And I sort-of get it if they don’t know what actually happened beyond a few vague details, but it’s still spirit-crushing.

It is, indeed. *hugs*

In middle school, when I was at my wit’s end because there were 30 of us in my class and everyone seemed to have a go at various times. If most of them were interested in something else, someone was likely to be interested in annoying Hayley. It was a past-time. So when I reached a point where I knew nobody was going to help, I started lashing out. I did that 2 or 3 times before our teacher told me to stay back after class and told me, “I’m becoming… concerned, about how you’re attacking your classmates.” I don’t remember how I responded, I don’t think I’d have tried to explain because the lack of curiosity or empathy was so palpable. Like you said, she wanted a peaceful life, not to try and figure out what the right thing to do might be. I stopped lashing out so that she didn’t escalate to getting the headmaster involved, or something. Or worse, she might have told my mum, and if that happened, I’d get extra hell at home. There was already enough of that.

I’m so sorry.

I tried defending myself occasionally, but it never helped. I was alone and weak, they were many and/or stronger than me. There was nothing I could do but try to run or hide, so that’s what I did.

Another time, in middle school, a girl who… I suspect might not have done that much, she was just the most recent in a long line of people testing my patience, was being annoying, so I grabbed her and thumped my fist right in the middle of her back. It hurt her, and she left groaning. I don’t remember if I ever heard about that again, though I’ve got a vague feeling I might have gotten in trouble for that.

I do remember one time when I was still rather young and still tried to defend myself or lash out at insults, I took a big stone and hit a boy that was harassing me, like that on his back. He cried. I guess that may be the most violent thing I did back then, and inexcusable, despite being done in reaction.
That was not in school, though, but outside, in my neighborhood.

From the article:

Hannah Barnes investigated the trust where 2,000 children were prescribed experimental drugs.

That’s… quite a subheading. Often times, experimental drugs are given to those with currently untreatable conditions in hopes of helping them get better. And for experimental drugs to even be used in clinical settings require a long and arduous process, often taking 3-6 years of intensive experiments, research, and investigations.

More of this, from http://www.creationtheory.org/Essays/Phrases.xhtml

Big Bang Theory

Ordinary definition: “The theory that the universe's ongoing expansion, size and layout are consistent with a very rapid expansion from a single point in the distant past.”

Fundie definition: “The theory that the universe came from nothing.”

Note: this has to be one of the most common scientific misconceptions in existence. Virtually 100% of creationists believe that "rapid expansion from a singularity in the distant past" somehow means "something from nothing", even though it means nothing of the sort.

Then, once, in secondary school, one or two of my classmates were doing something with a ruler - hitting or poking me with it, maybe? I really don’t remember. So I snatched it from them and put it in my bag. They immediately shouted for the teacher, who came over, looking like she was going to put a stop to this *right now*. She asked to see the ruler, and I thought maybe she wanted to see proof that a ruler had been involved? Obviously not in hindsight, but that’s the sense it made to me. As soon as I showed it to her she snatched it out of my hand and gave it back to the bullies.

“Blaming the war on slavery was the way the northern court historians used morality to cover up Lincoln’s naked aggression and the war crimes of his generals.”
Of course, the Cornerstone Speech made by Jefferson Davis’ VP bragged about them being the side that knew the ‘proper use of the Negro,’ and that was slavery, and that was the whole point of the war, that’s not indicative of anything.

“We see in the destruction of statues the determination to shove remaining symbols of the Confederacy down the Memory Hole.”
There are no statues to Benedict Arnold but his name remains a synonym for treason that every schoolkid knows, no?
There are no statues to Hitler, but no one replies to his name with ‘Who was that?’
Very few nations that lose a war build statues to the losers, esp. if they betrayed an oath of allegiance to fight.
We named ships, streets, bases, weapon systems after those fuckers.
Tearing down their statues is not erasing history, it’s just not revering those individuals.

Trans, and their co-conspirators, are invulnerable.

Oh, if only that were true!

Confirming their wrongdoing threatens to collapse the entirely, rickety trans superiority narrative (TSN). At the final tournament, SJSU lost to Colorado State and were eliminated from the tournament, but obviously learned nothing from the damage their support for the TSN has caused.

Ah, so that ‘invulnerable’ bit was sarcasm. Got it.

So, there’s this thing called trans superiority narrative, which even has an official-sounding acronym (TSN!) and where we feel superior, but it all comes crashing down because some obscure non-transphobic team lost a single match somewhere.

…Right. That makes sense. Totally. (/s)

They mean genital preferences. It’s the whole spiel about how trans people are extremely intolerant of anyone not wanting to be with them due to their genitals, and that we immediately brand anyone expressing genital preferences as transphobic and evil.
Also, the canard that we AMAB folks want to force poor lesbians into having sex with us and our penises.

So, it has nothing to do with our sexual orientation; rather, if anything, it has to do with the notion that cis people are not allowed to stick to their own, because we threaten to hurt them if they don’t comply with our sexual demands.

Well, at least that’s what the ‘genital fetish’ bit in the original image is about.

It’s… worth watching, though not for anti-bullying tips. There are plenty of reviews of it on Youtube if you’re interested.
Anyway, it got me thinking about the fact that we often tell bullied kids to tell an adult, but as a 43 year old adult, I’ve never seen any PSA telling me what to do if a child comes to me disclosing bullying. Derek Savage appears in the film (as “Daddy Derek”), and Derek clearly has some emotional baggage around bullying that comes through in the scenes, dialogue, even the names chosen for the characters.

I don’t know, I probably won’t watch it now due to the length (my time is limited) and the uncomfortable topic. But thanks.

That got me thinking: what would a PSA telling adults what to do in this situation, look like? I don’t know if I have all the answers, but one of them would be, to be aware of your own baggage around bullying.
I’m not sure where I’m going with this, it just seems as good a place as any to put this out there.

It is :)

As for the PSA, yeah, I guess being aware of your own baggage is good and perhaps necessary, though I think more direct and hands-on advice would be needed. Like the thing you said: what to do if a child comes to you disclosing bullying?

And I’m not sure what the advice would be.

In my experience, the adults I did turn to — or had to because I was sent to them along with the bully — were very useless.

I would at times end up in the school pedagogist's office, once or twice I even ended up in the headmaster's. And sometimes the teachers would try to “resolve disputes”, so to speak.

They never protected me. Their approach was a half-hearted attempt to ascertain what had happened, but really it tended to be basically a “stop it, both of you”, with no regard to who was the victim and who was the bully.
The teachers mostly seemed to just want their peace, and not to have to deal with the “he said, she said” or with actually trying to get to the bottom of who did what. Just blame everyone equally.

I remember my first homeroom teacher, the one from my first four years. All the way back in first grade, when things were just starting to get worse, I tried to tell her what the other kids were doing to me. I did it several times, to no avail. Then, finally, she told me to, and I quote, “Stop whining and complaining.”

So I did. I stopped telling her.

My second homeroom teacher, the one from 5th to 8th grade, was one whom I was much more fond of. She was a very kind woman who tried, bless her, but even her efforts when it comes to dealing with my abuse amounted to nothing. She couldn’t handle the sharks.

So… if anything, for starters you need a teacher or pedagogist who even cares at all; then they need to have some actual authority and enforcement ability. Without those things, I doubt any advice to them would be of much use.

I think one of the other kids brought their dog there on a walk and got it to do its business there. But, of course, rumours went around that I did it. You can imagine what that did to my reputation. Was it a girl who did that, or was it a boy? I don’t know, but it was a girl who first noticed and very loudly started shouting about it.

Oh god.
That reminds me of one thing from elementary school which I didn’t mention yet.

Sometime in 5th or 6th grade, after the bullies had started ambushing me at the school entrance and chasing me on my way home, a boy from my class with whom I had often sat together in class showed me an alternative way out (not out of any particular kindness).
He had a habit of going through the school's back door, which made the trip home just a bit shorter (he lived close to me). Before then, I hadn't known that this door was open. For me, that was a real discovery and a breather, because it allowed me to finally sidestep the ambush, and at least go home in peace for a while.

But then, one day, something happened.

I went home through the back door, as usual. I think I was alone that time. What was different is that next to a school window, something like 50 kids were gathered, all looking at something. This had never happened before; normally, nobody would be present on that grassy field behind the school.

As I noticed the crowd, somebody turned and noticed me… and shouted my name. They seemed angry, perhaps.
Then the kids began running toward me.

I did not wait to find out what it was about. I had had plenty of experience, so I knew to recognize a hunt on me as it’s beginning. And this sure looked like a hunt.

So, I ran. Didn’t matter where; just… away from the kids.

The kids, many of them from my class, they kept shouting. Not just boys; there were many girls there, too. Now very clearly angry; furious, even. And this time, they kept chasing me. They did. not. stop.

In hindsight, that was unusual. But in such a situation, I had no time or ability to think; only run, as fast as I could, as far as I could. And since I wasn’t athletic, they managed to keep up with me. Several times they almost caught me, including when I once tried to hide inside a building’s entrance hallways.

But somehow, they didn’t actually manage to catch me and subdue me.

I kept running, and they kept chasing me. All across my hometown, including in areas I had never been to, but which I ran to in order to flee.

I cried for much of that time, not understanding why they were doing this. And they sure didn’t seem to be in an explanatory mood; they were furious the entire time. And I had absolutely no idea why.

When I could no longer run, I walked. And some of them still walked after me, with dogged determination.

I think it was only after about 2 hours that the last of them finally gave up, and I came back home, traumatized. Only to have my mom borderline shout at me for being so hugely late, and interrogating me why.

But… I wouldn’t tell her. How could I? What would I even say?

Later, I found out the reason for the whole chase.

See, there had been a birds’ nest with a couple of eggs on one of the windowsills in the school’s back yard. And the kids had gathered there, because the eggs had been broken that day. The kids didn’t know how, but they suspected someone did it.

I vaguely remember, or at least I think I do, that the boy from my class with whom I went towards home with, had shown me the birds’ eggs once or twice before this thing happened. But when it did, I hadn’t known it was over the eggs being broken… nor did it occur to me in all my panic and flight reflex.

As I had exited the school, the kids had called out to me. I don’t know if they already suspected me at that point; quite likely, if someone among them knew I used the back entrance regularly.

When I panicked and fled after they came at me, to them it was proof enough that I was guilty, that I must have smashed the eggs. And they were very angry at me for it, so they wouldn’t let me go and chased me across town.

Now, what were the consequences of that in the days that followed? Were there any?
I wouldn’t know to tell you, for the simple reason that I don’t remember that. It’s a hole in my memory. But I don’t think it’s because of any particular awfulness that followed; if it was more traumatic than usual, I probably would have remembered that period after.

But I guess that I was such a pariah at that point that it didn’t matter much either way. Or the kids had somehow decided that it wasn’t me after all, and didn’t bother me further over the broken eggs. I don’t know.

So yeah. I guess I can kind of relate to your episode with the turd and being blamed for it.

I’ll respond to the rest of what you said in my next message here.

“We are all born with that 'God Spot' that only He can fill.”
Yes, yes, that’s why no religions except His ever existed. Uh huh.

"Even the atheists and agnostics have to admit that something in their lives is missing, because they can't quench the 'God Spot' with anything else in this world.”
No. No, i don’t agree to this. I don’t find an ache from lack except when my wife goes out of town for more than two days. THis is your fantasy, not my problem.

“The God spot that is created in each and everyone of us”
Every One of us is two words in this usage.

"gives me a reason to believe that all these tribal groups that have never heard of the name of Jesus, will still have a chance to accept him.”
Aw, isn’t that a happy thought. Because otherwise what’s written in The Books is pretty much an injustice for everyone who died before Christ came, huh?

“I know this is not in the Bible, but neither does the Word speak of such people.”
It does say that NO ONE gets into Heaven without accept Jesus. It also makes it clear that you can’t change your mind after death. You need to be ALIVE toearn your afterlife disposition.

"I do believe that somehow they will know...maybe by messenger angels...before they die and have a chance to acknowledge Jesus as their Lord.”
So, they live their entire lives in sin, sinning wilfully, to please false gods and fake ideas, and God never sends WORD ONE to anyone until JUST before they die. One at a time.
But as an atheist, i never get this special, wrap-it-up, last chance visit, huh?

“Thats MHO.”

Today on ‘Dave Is Slow,’ Dave realizes that different religions are different.

Not sure who he’s talking to, here? He’s telling the Shinto members that they’re wrong by Bible standards, but if they are Shinto, why would they give a fuck about the Bible?
He’s telling Christains that the Bible doesn’t teach Shinto, but none of them practice Shinto. Who is expected to change their ways from this long string of bullshit?

Yes, yes, the old ways are best. WHich is why so many old-fashioned couples didn’t even notice changes that made divorce easier for the brides. Didn’t need it! No one had any complaints back when they had no options!

And i don’t have the numbers, but i’d be surprised if the number of men who fell down a flight of stairs while drunk and killed themselves, by accident, officer, i SWEAR, didn’t go DOWN with greater access to divorce.
My mother and all her sisters married at college age. The only one that didn’t divorce inside of 15 years was the aunt that died of cancer. Young people have this habit of growing up. About 60% of the couples i saw in the Navy who married as high-school sweethearts got divorced. And i’m sure that’s low because I never knew anyone for more than 4 years at a command. I married a girl who was over 30. We’re closing up on 40 years together.
