I heard today that the Boy Scouts of America, at least one Troop in Texas, is awarding a new achievement patch, for learning about how to deal with bullies. Apparently, it is stitched on somewhere between the knots patch and helping old ladies across the street.
To gain this patch, they have a class, where they learn how to deal with bullies. Well, apparently dealing with bullies is much easier than I imagined. All you have to do is tell the bully how much it hurts. And to think that all my life, I thought you had to show them how it hurts. When are these imbeciles going to realize that you absolutely CAN NOT reason with a bully. Telling him, "you're hurting me" is idiotic. Of course it hurts - that is his intention, stupid. If anything, he'll only do it more due to his utter satisfaction. Running away doesn't work either, it only earns the poor kid more ridicule.
I have an idea. Instead of teaching these poor lads to be victims for the rest of their lives, teach them the ONLY time-tested method of dealing with bullies: MAKE THEM HORIZONTAL! Now, THAT's satisfaction!!! It sure changed my life in the fourth grade; I would have been the unpopular playground runt for eternity. Instead, I knocked a tooth out and everyone liked me after that. Why? BECAUSE I stood up to the oversized punk!
I am sickened with this "touchy-feely" garbage. It's a sin with the "Zero Tolerance Policies" which have run amock in the Schools, indeed throughout our entire society. Most Americans just don't stand up anymore; they whimper, whine and cower like whipped puppies. Give those boys some toy guns and bows and let 'em play cowboys and indians for cryin' out loud! They are BOYS; future defenders of our Nation, society and culture. Maybe that's the whole plan?
Anyway, I can only imagine what this new achievement patch looks like: It's probably shaped like a flower with the image of a boy inside bearing a black eye and empty pockets.
