Issues.

Freepers react to martial arts instructors saying not to beat the crap out of bullies. The results are illuminating:

Lets Be Frank is all about an eye for an eye:

I agree with the mom..kick the snot out of him. How many years of bullying is one supposed to take? (Since bullies seem to grow up to be SEIU/Acorn types lets teach them lessons earlier in life.)

MetaThought is probably glad he qualified his statement:
Why are martial arts instructors such wusses, atleast verbally ?
Future Snake Eater is such a badass:

One of my Squad Leaders taught his wife’s son from a previous marriage how to hit since he was being bullied at school. My Squad Leader told him to go to school the next day and beat up the bully. Not only walk up and hit him, but hit him until he was too exhausted to hit anymore.

The kid did, he got expelled, but I’ll bet that bully thinks twice before screwing with other kids.

Ruy Dias de Bivar has an odd example:

Martial arts instructors are condemning a Winnipeg mother’s decision to enrol her bullied son in kick-boxing classes and give him permission to retaliate against his tormentors.

And what is wrong with that? Even Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the Maxim machine gun, would frequent bars just to beat up the local bar bullies.

Well, if it's good enough for Mr. Maxim, it's good enough for Freepers!

AU72 knows who to blame for bullying:
Bullied for years?

Sounds like she's raising 2 boys without a father around. If he was he would have had his son deal with it after the first time.

  1. Freep is full of internet tough guys, saying things like "if I'd been there, I'd have been arrested" and waxing lyrical about their fine weapons. All very easy to say from the comfort of your computer chair.

  2. I do not see anything wrong in beating the cr*p out of Bullies. Unfortunately being nice to them will not get through, a kick in the behind is the only thing they understand.

  3. You're right, Anon. I and my friends were unmolested through high school largley after I won a fight with a bully.

    But it's not the idea of standing up to bullies, it's the over the top "DESTROY THEM" attitude that I was pointing out. "hit him until he was too exhausted to hit anymore." "Martial arts instructers are not as badass as I am" etc.

  4. Yep. Martial arts is all about self-defense. Not about picking a fight to kick someone's ass just because they tormented you. To be fair, there were some freepers who at least knew that the instructor had to say that for liability reasons.
