why shouldn't adults bully each other?

RE: why shouldn't adults bully each other?
Most people in Generations X and Y. So from the mid-to-late 1970s to the modern day.

RE: why shouldn't adults bully each other?
Well, I guess so far, that includes at least you and I...and since I disagree with you entirely, we have 50% - at best, not yet willing to call you a flat out liar (but keep at it....I can be swayed).

Not quite most. Eh?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Myself, I originate from just over half a decade earlier than the mid-seventies cutoff, so would qualify as part of that generation. Also I have had very very personal contact with at least two others from said generation, enough to know them inside and out you could say, not to mention going to school with many other similar. None of those in my experience have been known to express any of these views. Are we still going with "most"?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

yes, most.

Do you seriously think we reason/value as the golden generation did? Or people born 100 years ago? They endorsed moral absolutes, we do not.

I don't endorse any moral absolutes, nor do I endorse "anything goes".

Look, amigo, just reach down- grab your sack, and own your opinions.

There never was a golden generation, other than the one that contains me of course.

Yes, he's not.
