Nerds Still More Likely To Get Bullied

trashbird1240 writes "Reports on a recent meta-analysis of bullies and victims found that bullies and victims have similar personality traits, but that bullies tend to do poorly in school, as opposed to those who get bullied. Both bullies and victims are poor social problem solvers, but they resort to different tactics to handle their social ineptitude. To me this represents a huge leap forward in understanding nerd psychology."

    Lions eat gazelles, wolves eat lambs. And jocks beat up nerds. The difference is, we also shit on our preys' faces, and rightfully so because of the toiletness of them.

    Everything about nerds is despicable and revolting: their unclean skin, their scrawny figures, their foul body odor, their obnoxious social ineptitude and above all their loser attitude.

    We jocks, who are competitive by nature, who are born to be winners, cannot suffer nerds to exist for they are the opposite of everything that is good and beautiful in Nature. That's why we grab them by their scrawny necks, bash their heads against walls, twist their arms and legs, and shove them heads down into unflushed toilet bowls.

    And then we shit on their faces. Aye, we joyfully defecate on their wretched faces. We pile mounds of steamy excrements on them, by Nature's order and command that loserboys have no right to breathe the same air as we do.

    Have no mercy for nerds, for they are do not deserve any.

    I'm not into martial arts of any kind, but I gotta disagree

    Why? Why you gotta talk shit about something you don't know about? Why?

    Okay so some idiot comes at you and you flip him over your head... now if he's not trained on how to land he's likely to break his neck or arm.

    Now on the other hand, if you throw a controlled punch or kick you can hit him just where you want and as hard or soft as you want... "just enough".

    So you think it's possible to control how hard you punch or kick but not how hard you throw?
    I am trained in various martial arts, and lemme tell you: you're incoherent.

    I'm sorry but the Aikido thing is like saying "I didn't hit you, the FLOOR did".

    Yup. But don't be sorry about that, be sorry about the ignorant and illogical things you said before.

    P.S. If I'm holding you and throwing you to the ground, I can pull, or push, before you hit the ground, controlling how hard you hit, I can even time a push and pull to whiplash your neck and have your head hit extra hard if I'm feeling murderous. But during training, I used to snap people off their feet and then softly put them down on the mat... many people found that very insulting (in part because they couldn't do the same to me, ah!).

    A similar situation occurred when I went from a freestyle kickboxing class (which shut down) to a karate / kickboxing combo class. The very first lesson I was asked what I'd done before, said I'd got a Yellow belt in kickboxing (third belt). By the end of the lesson, the instructor had called over a colleague from another school in the area to come spar with me the next week to assess me for a tournament place. I floored a second dan blackbelt with a simple leg sweep. I didn't go back, and since stopped going at all. The disconnect between different classes, let alone class and street, is enormous.

    Like you, I'd much prefer to find one which allows you to fully explore the art with a risk of minor injury than have it all pansied down for 8 year olds and geriatrics.
