why shouldn't adults bully each other?

RE: why shouldn't adults bully each other?
lol.. for people who claim to be so educated, you really don't get how human beings behave. look, academia denoting intelligence is a cultural definition only, get over it. lol.

it's also "evil" to be human, and exhibit all traits that humans display per design.

damn you abstract thought, bipedal locomotion, complex language and the use of technology!!

Still don't see how your own words prove you wrong? (thus showing that you have low intelligence or are lying)

Hey, that is my point against you. But you are actually proof against your own argument, go figure. Undecided

For the record, I assert that it's human nature to be vague and aloof. :-Þ

In the OP's case I'm pretty sure not bullying is a good idea because it keeps him from getting his pussy ass kicked.

As usual that depends on the definition of "morals" and "exist". I would say morals exist in the sense that they have an effect on individuals actions, which are very real.

nobody truly thinks bullying is wrong or "immoral". it's merely something people say and not mean.

Wrong again. Sexual orientation isn't a geeky interest, and people get bullied over that.

I don’t presume to speak for anyone else, but I believe bullying is wrong and that makes you a liar.

Because we're social animals that require each other and our broader society in order to live the comfortable lives that many of us do. In an effort to maintain this society- in the past this would be a way to avoid getting fucked up by any number of environmental factors, but today is mainly about keeping up our level of comfort and convenience- we agree not to operate in ways that harm one another. It's a social contract we all opt into, in order to keep things running to our advantage.

Do you like the society that keeps you sufficiently alive and vested with wealth enough to spend your time on an atheist forum through a space age magic box that only a few decades ago would have been science fiction? Me too! So you see, we're both invested in replicating behaviors that allow that structure to keep ticking over.
