Despite the MSM narrative, bullying is not directed uniquely at gay kids. Victims of bullies suffer lifelong consequences--low self-esteem, inability to trust others, inability to form relationships, difficulty in establishing a career, etc. Bullying causes victims to commit suicide, in some cases. Bullying isn't tolerated in the adult world; there is no reason whatsoever to turn a blind eye to it because it's occurring among children.
So the argument as to whether or not something is bad hinges upon what may possibly replace it? So if a study showed that when police cracked down on physical assaults there was then a rise in murder we should then say well getting beat up is not so bad, at least they didnt kill me ? BS.
Maybe they could find more countries to study?
“In fact, studies show that in at least one country where child labor was suddenly banned, prostitution increased.”
Take a stab at post #32.
Covering up a crime is illegal. Stossel was referring to gossip, which is not illegal.
I kinda did already, but I’ll expound on it a bit.
The government has gotten into enforcing morality, of a sort, by enforcing an “anti-morality”, or more specifically, enforcing a hostility and rejection of the “mere” Christian value system that the society was based on, and is/was successful because of it.
If we could actually get them to STOP enforcing “morality”,
then we’d all be better off because the natural superiority of the Christian value system, with respect to living in the real world with real humans, would re-assert itself.
People who teach themselves don't get the respect they are due, IMHO Teach people who are inclined to learn how to learn and they can take care of their educations quite well!
My Mother grew up in rural Tennessee and graduated high school there. Then she bought a paperbook that listed a lot of the great, classic books of all time by categories.
As she read a book, she checked it off and went to the next book that captured her interest.
The book is in tatters now with many titles checked off.
She is one of the smartest, most educated people I know and has been an inspiration to me and to my sibs. We all love reading. My sister is a librarian; my brother teaches college level IT. Me, I just read tons - one of the reasons I'm constantly on FR and also try to read books recommended by the very learned Great One, Mark Levin!

Ignoring economics, especially sound economics, isures the downfall of any society.
Terrific!
You educated your son very well!
If you believe that, you live in a very sheltered world. Bullying ALWAYS happens. The tactics change, but I know of few working adults who have not run into it at their job.

Sorry for the double -
got sidetracked while replying.
I've got a little heart symbol on my license to indicate organ donor. I'm going to edit that and add a dollar sign before it. Everything has a price. Just pay my kids and you can take what you need.
Then the educators can not figure why the drop out rate is so high.
Sometimes I think that our educational system exist for the teachers and not the students.

In a sense, I was taught that if felt that I became bullied, It was my responsibility to fix the problem.
Or provides incentive for the person of means to eliminate, directly or indirectly, anyone who might be a threat. (Would murder for hire increase instead?)
I would also add that insider trading should be legal, as it allows information to reach the market quicker, and increase market efficiency.
