Agreed.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

You know CL, your empathy is a nice quality, until it reaches weird levels. To put it in a phrase:
Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words never will...

I'm guessing he means something similar to Brendans comment about Muslims on the girl's status. This leads me to believe he deserves the treatment, though the 5/7 joke was overused imo and it got a bit tired.
I will give your post 5/7.

Well what I don't understand is that when Napoleon posted that video of the dude breaking up with his cheating girlfriend, plenty of people were empathetic towards the girl. But then this gets posted and me and Vic are the only ones saying it goes a bit too far lol.

Also I was bullied when I went to a new school in 8th grade so I'm a little extra sensitive towards bullies/bullying behavior.

I guess perhaps it depends on personal experiences and what does/does not strike a chord with us.

I dont think its bullying. At least this situation. Actually, it was the other guy that used harsh language. The one you call bully used non vernacular language and was making jokes. So, who is the bully?
People tried to bully me too. They tried and they failed. The sad part is that my dad had to pay the guy's dentist after I knocked 2 of them.

Right, Brandon did use harsh language, but it was in response to the harassment from Rob. Obviously I don't agree with the language, but my point is he wasn't the one being the instigator. If someone is giving you a hard time and you respond with "f*ck off, f*g" in defense, that knocks you down several levels but it does not make you the bully.

Ya I would say the dumb guy was trying to bully but he was to dumb to even do that right. Besides if the dumb guy was really feeling bullied all he has to do is block the other guy.
