If they're bigger, you just use 'cheaper' tactics. First rule of fighting is there are no rules. If he's twice your size, you kick him in the nuts and once he hits the ground you keep kicking him. If you can't get a shot like that, but there's a blunt object within reach, or a chair, you use it. Once you make it clear to everyone that if you're pushed, you will use ANY means necessary to put the other person down, noone will want to fight you cause most often those kids won't care as less as you, and whoever cares the least in a fight wins.
The Ender Wiggin approach is exactly the idea when the person is twice your size, or has a group of friends, you pick out the toughest and you give him a beating that will make his friends cringe when they look at you afterwards. You don't go as far as killing him as ender did, but the idea is the same. You give a beating so severe that they will NEVER think of doing that again.
The answer isn't to shield kids from bullying, it's to teach them how to deal with it. Someone talks shit, get up in their face and make them back it up or back the fuck off. Someone shoves you, you deck them. I tried the ignore them stuff until I was a Junior in High School, at which point I started forcing kids to put up or shut up. Someone started running their mouth? Got right in their face less than a foot away and told them, either hit me or shut the fuck up, cause talkin shit is for pussies. Someone shoved me? They got thrown against a locker and told if they wanna get physical, they better be ready to fight. Wanna know what happened once I started doing that? Wouldn't ya know it, they stopped that shit, hell some of them even became good friends of mine after a while. Acting like a little bitch and running for someone else to protect you or shield you from the evils of the world isn't productive, it's how things like Columbine happen. Back in the day there weren't school shootings cause kids weren't taught to be little girls and cry everytime someone was mean, they were taught to stand up for themselves.
"It's run by Turbine, so that means frequent updates to keep the content fresh."
You mean like the updates that eventually brought Asheron's Call to being a worthless pile of shit, when it was one of the greatest MMORPG's ever made. They bent the PVP balance over and raped it, literally, in their attempts to balance it via spreadsheets. They made the game so outlandishly easy that a retarded 5 year old could play and not have a single problem. Those are the kinds of things you can expect out of Turbine with any of their games, nothing but failures and the occasional accidental omgwtfAWESOME bug that makes the game fun, such as in Asheron's Call the Stamina To Mana/Revit cycling for mages, sliding while performing actions, and numerous other things that made the game fun yet were totally unintended albeit accepted and promoted by the devs once they saw them and realized they were the only things making the game fun.
No able bodied person can EVER claim they can't get a good job. If you aren't crippled, and even then possibly if you have a prosthetic limb, you can easily get a job in construction, making middleclass wages.
Rodney King was NOT police brutality.
He was high on cocaine and pcp, drunk as hell too, just crashed his car after running from the cops going 90mph in a residential neighborhood, and was REPEATEDLY attacking the officers around him even before they started beating him. The only way to safely subdue him was to literally beat him into submission. In case you don't know what PCP and Cocaine do, PCP dulls nearly all pain, is prone to making someone who gets really high on it extremely paranoid and violent, and is like a nonstop adrenaline rush, if someone is really whacked out on it they can take a gunshot and not even notice it until they collapse from blood loss. Cocaine also numbs pain and makes someone violent. If Rodney had just stayed down instead of constantly getting up, he wouldn't of had to be beaten.
Damn them for letting people do what they WANT to do with their own personal page that you DO NOT have to go to.
Myspace SHOULDN'T be successful. That's all you're saying.
Darkfall is another game that will be all about player skill, using UO style skill raising instead of leveling ala traditional RPG's, and will be open PVP with full drop on death.
Guess what dumbfuck, it was your boy George H W Bush in 91 who stopped, get this, the French from mounting a direct drive to Baghdad and killing/capturing Saddam then and there. I wonder why...
He's just upset that his company's spyware and crap won't be able to be installed on people's computers without them knowing it anymore? Damn, this might just be an MS Vista advertisement in disguise.
Obviously KH2 sucked. It was nothing more than 'Mash x really fast with a few squares and triangles thrown in for good measure.' The first one was good, the second one sucked.
The logic on drugs IS the logic I have. I do not believe anyone or any entity has the right the tell me what I can and cannot do with my body where I am not infringing upon anyone else's rights or freedoms. If I want to get obliterated on coke, booze, pot and pills in my home or at a party, and so long as I don't hurt anyone, then I should damn well be allowed to do it.
First off, as usual with the OMG THINK OF THE CHILREND campaigns, where the fuck are the parents? Do they just toss money at their kids and say do what you want? If so, it's noone's fault but the parents. You can't blame everyone under the sun for doing something legal simply because it adversely affects children who are not being properly parented.
Secondly, on the MMORPG addiction and a lawsuit needed to curb people in their addictions, NO. I'm a libertarian when it comes to these kinds of things. The state should NOT be there to hold a person's hand all throughout their life so they dont' make bad decisions such as getting addicted to things. It should be there to make sure the person's rights are not violated, but beyond that not much more. If a person decides to get addicted to X game, and ruins their entire life because of said game, that is not the game makers fault, only the person who got addicted.
Don't even bring up that freak of nature known as Jessica Mulligan. That fool ruined Asheron's Call. "It's" complete hatred/reviling(word/sp?) of PVP brought about the nerfing and destruction of one of the best PVP scenes in an MMORPG. Now the game is dead, and "it" jumped ship shortly after everyone realized what had been done.
Is this the guy who was the original lead for UO? The one who sold out and carebeared the game to hell with the addition of Trammel and other 'hold my hand' additions?
Don't know who sean bell is, but I'm assuming you are saying Rodney King was a victim of police brutality. He was drunk, high on cocaine and PCP, and driving in excess of 90mph in a residential area. When he finally crashed, thank god not killing anyone, he fought the officers and, thanks to our little friend PCP shutting down all pain receptors, he was repeatedly attempting to get up and attack officers as they beat him. In that situation their only recourse WAS to beat him into submission, because quite frankly no other way would of ensured the officers safety in the face of a crazed drug user.
That college student got what was coming to him. He refused to comply with orders, and started freaking out with the expressed intent to cause a scene/riot against the officers who were called in to remove him. If you really think that refusing to obey the commands of an officer of the law, attempting to incite other people around you who far outnumber said officers to riot against them, and making an utter ass of yourself in some retarded political statement are entirely ok things to do, I suggest you go try it yourself, cause I can almost guarantee you'll get your head knocked around a few times.
Sadly, for MMORPG's atleast, players don't want a challenge. They want to have their hand held while they proceed through the game, knowing no dangers or challenges beyond time. This is a pathetic situation indeed, especially for those of us who live for the challenge, particularly in the form of PVP. Darkfall is our last hope for such a game, and sadly it appears the great ideals behind it will not be enough to bring it to fruition.
He would have gotten away with it due to the fact that they mention a chatroom, which more than likely means IRC, and nearly every single IRC channel related to piracy has the standard: If you are an agent of the government, you cannot enter here yadayada legalspeak yadayada.

The Wright Brothers were years behind the actual inventors to build the first sustained flight capable aeroplane, and this was done in Europe.
Haha the flea market in the have is awesome. Always good for bootleg shit, or even cool stuff like crazy dual blade knives and shit

Mother Theresa was a hateful thief and a masochist/sadist who demanded nothing but sorrow and pain in the lives of the nuns at her convents.

Are you one of those people who cried POLICE BRUTALITY! when Rodney King was beaten?
