Re: Teachers tell bullied kids to act less 'gay' -

Justin... I get your argument, but somewhere your stuff doesn't fit together. I can't figure it out, but somewhere it's wrong. It starts with you saying:
"First of all, if you were behaving in a sterotypical manner (Such as stereotypical black person.) then yes, you do deserve to be made fun of."
Made fun of, aka bullied? I don't think people ever deserve to be bullied, unless they purposefully go out of their way to piss someone off and provoke them. Acting within a stereotype doesn't classify under that in my opinion.
I get your argument on one level and agree with it, but with respect to people "deserving" to get bullied, I don't. They can expect to get bullied, yes, that's different.
It's kind of similar to saying that if you go out to a crap neighbourhood at night, you deserve to get mugged, or stabbed or even shot.... no... that's what doesn't fit together in your argument.
"I don't care about politics"
Then politics doesn't care about you either. Truth. You've got to make your voice heard, if you want to be listened to. But that's too logical for some people, so let me go a step further. Not making your voice heard, leaves other people free to hijack it by speaking on your behalf, even if they don't actually give a shit about you. That's politics. So, make your voice heard. That's not a quote from anywhere. That's just me.
