why shouldn't adults bully each other?

Sociological labels/terms are bullshit?

yeah, the fact that people in our generation had different experiences, norms and social values than those living 100 years ago is bullshit!! lol..

Generation X and Y are neither, but thanks for playing.

Wouldn't you be interested... if I told you that it's not a fact? There have always been times like these.

[dazzn]

hmm.. so they're bullshit, but you cannot cite a reason why, or why the sociological community opposes them?

or that human beings are shaped by their environments?

i think you posted somewhere that you're Asperger's or something, it frankly figures:

- you don't understand that humans contradict and aren't strictly rational
- you don't comprehend that we're products of our environment

what next? do you collect toy cars for the sake of it? do you presume all want to know nor give a shit about your knowledge of meteorology?

lol...

ok, so you have a flair for pedantry too?

UK sociologists also use those terms, what's the point? the fact is that people born in given eras hold different views, based on their socialisation and other factors.

you mention discrimination, well yeah, most in 1913 thought racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. were wrong lol... and it was publicly accepted to be an atheist too! lol...

and yeah, binary, electronics, and microprocessors existed in 1913. ICT is designed to process information, this is what a computer is for. social connectivity? lol... this is why research, business operations, practically all major civilisational process in the modern world are driven by computers. you do know a computer can calculate far greater than any human perhaps ever could?

we all know that morals don't exist, right?

why then does it matter if adults don't bully each other?

I don't know that morals don't exist. I personally find bullies to be immature and self-centered. I think think it is wrong to intentionally be a jerk, but that is my to cents for what it is worth.

No bully knows their a bully. I've bullied people before and I would only realise it after the fact. But undoubtedly you always heard that bullies are insecure and that's why they do it. Well, that's absolutely true - it's not something they tell you just to make you feel like you got one on the bullies. A bully is just someone who is insecure and relieves themselves of insecurity by putting the spotlight on others, almost unconsciously, too.

Did you ever waste a thought on the people you bullied? And the pain you inflicted ont them?

almoust 10 years after my expiriences I still suffer from nightmares, flashbacks, and sudden outbursts of fear when confronted with a group of people making fun of me. Other than than an enormous ammount of rage flares up whenever I have to think of my childhood or the people who torchured me.

I never did anything harsh. I am convinced that the guilt tore me apart harder than the bullying tore at them, at any rate. I didn't know I was bullying anyone when I would make a petty remark about someone, then have a laugh about it.

Yeah, it's pretty horrible. I only did it to other people to make sure it didn't happen to me. I was/am extremely insecure.
