Hmm....they don't look quite 'goth' enough. Maybe edit it in photoshop.
By the way, I'm the dude with the dreads.

Actually, at the time I said it, it wasn't a joke since I was a bit pissed off, but now I think it's pretty funny.
The reason I was pissed McGentrix is because you finally posted something I agreed with and then you admit that you were a bully yourself!
Well, I have changed since high school. Not everybody could be a victim. Someone had to be the bully. now, keep in mind that I never did anything as crazy as what has been mentioned in this thread, I was more of the idiot in gym class who had too much fun playing dodgeball, or threw the occassional elbow while playing basketball. I never actually beat anyone up who didn't deserve it. Well, except for George. I regret beating up George. But, he did deserve it. eh... that was a long time ago and now it seems that the numbers have almost reversed themselves...
Odd how a bad ass 250 lb football playing bully couldn't get into the service because of bad hips....doesn't seem to have held you back in any of your other pursuits..........
LOL, that is pretty funny.
Yes, Denver schools are overwhelmingly liberal.

Gee, bear, I've never had a stalker before...
Maybe you were too busy bullying people to notice McG ;-)
Lay off of McG!
I've been as guilty as everyone else here of giving him a hard time, but lately I've really been enjoying his posts.
I don't AGREE with them but they are well-reasoned and informative.

I agree with the one who said Martian Luther King would be turning in his grave. A horrible sad story.
I never got got physically beaten up in school. I was just made fun of from pre school until I reached around the six grade when I started pretending that I did not have a hearing problem. We moved a lot and different schools would handle my problem differently. If it was a hick school, then my problem got ignored. However the older I got the more I just tried to pretend that I wasn't hard of hearing at all. I stoped wearing hearing aides and sitting in the front seat; most of all I stoped going to speech class in the middle of class which was real embarrassing. Hearing problems are more internal than other disabilities and often times people just think you are slow or not very talkative. As a result you are made fun of lot or thought of as weird and this causes a lot of mental problems if you ignore them like I did. My parents would try to make me tell people but I was a very stubborn little cuss and paid for it.
I don't think people set out to be victims of bullying. Only someone who has never had any problems and is not very sensitive would say something like that.
I, like a lot of kids who enjoy reading at a young age, got bullied quite a bit until I figured out that even the biggest bully drops when you slam his head into the locker room wall.
I only had to do it twice before it stopped. The suspensions from school were worth it.

I've never known that to be the case.....
Weaklings don't deserve respect, people who fight to protect themselves do, it is a simple lesson.

well grasped by simple minds.....
anyone can be a bully and knock someone down......and bullies always seem to choose smaller and weaker targets than themselves....now that's a real weakling......
Karz You have got to be kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right on Bear ;-)
It's the bully who preys on the weaker who are cowards!

Truth is truth, if you don't stand up for yourself, you won't get respect.

Yes, that's true, and I've heard that at university, too - when I studied the Stone Ages.
