Sure, if you want to glaze over my writing and not bother with the actual inner workings and true meaning :p
I mean hell, it's easy to butcher meaning nowadays.

No, what you're basically saying is that bullying is fine and acceptable as long as you only target the weak.

Actually edited a few minutes ago.
I found what I wrote rather barebones and needed some more context. Because I'm human and I make second choices. It happens.
On that note:
"There's always that certain threshold where you need to know to back the fuck off. These girls didn't know."
How am I justifying bullying? These girls pushed the boy too far with bullying and I'm saying that very thing, and you're saying I encourage bullying?

I'm not saying that you encourage bullying. I'm saying that you think that bullying is acceptable? There's a certain threshold? Bullshit. There is no threshold. There is no way to justify it.

A threshold isn't a justification, it's a limit. Everything has limits. EVERYTHING.
It can be applied to anything else at all.
There's a threshold of weight a chair can take before breaking.
There's a threshold of gas the car needs before it dies out in need of more.
There's a threshold of how much you can push someone around before something bad happens.
I'm not saying it's acceptable, the true meaning of that sentence was "The girls shoulda seen it coming since they were at it so much".
I have zero idea how you got my "There's a limit" and turned it into "Bullying is acceptable".

By saying that there is a limit of how far you can go, is saying that it's acceptable to do it as long as you stay within that limit.

Err, no?
I was simply stating from experience and never said it was acceptable as long as it's under the limit.
There's a limit to how many jews you can fit in the concentration camps but that didn't really make the Holocaust any more justified.
I'm stating fact. Please, I implore you to refrain from putting words in my mouth if you simply don't like those facts.

That's a different context. You're saying that there's a limit to how much you can hit a Jew before he hits you back, plus the wording that you used. The golden rule? Phah.

To be honest, after going trough that conversation, you seem to take things too personally, Aurora.
Bullying is something that shouldn't exist, but yet exists. It is sometimes inevitable and can leave scars on even both sides.
It is easy to see how one could take what English wrote as something offensive or ''pro-bullying'' but i can get his point.
Everything these days, good or bad have their own limits that must never be crossed. If you cross certain limits you will also be crossing the boundary of your own humanity till you lose it entirely.
Holding grudges on something or someone is just pointless and will only serve in trapping your rational mind in the cage of the past. Everything has their cause, even the bad things. The only thing people can do is to leave the past as past and walk toward the future.

Good, the bitches fucking deserved it.
What pisses me off is that in most situations, they expect nothing to be done back to them because they\'re \"girls\"
I\'m glad they didn\'t die, let them suffer.
