The bullies win again[W710; 739]

Is that what you think, huh?
ilol
What makes you think that?
Because I believe a person is responsible for their own actions?
:lamo:doh:lamo:doh:lamo

Well you are now starting to sound irrational, because there is absolutely no reason not to hold her responsible for her own actions.

No. Because I KNOW that a child cannot always be held COMPLETELY responsible for his/her own actions. If you were a parent, you'd understand this as well. Evidently, you've only produced offspring.....this, obviously does not qualify one as a parent. :shrug:
 
OMG! I can't even BELIEVE it. Obviously you people don't know ANYTHING about teenagers!

What makes a teenager NOT flash her tits on a webcam? What internal force stops her from doing that crap?
 

Nice, now we get inappropriate laughter. You know there are treatments available for antisocial personality disorder.

"Lack of empathy is one of the most striking features of people with narcissistic personality disorder. It's a hallmark of the disorder in the same way that fear of abandonment is in borderline personality disorder.

"Narcissists do not consider the pain they inflict on others; nor do they give any credence to others' perceptions," says Dr. Les Carter in the book Enough of You, Let's Talk About Me (p. 9). "They simply do not care about thoughts and feelings that conflict with their own." Do not expect them to listen, validate, understand, or support you.

This is exacerbated when the person has a touch of antisocial personality disorder."

Teenagers make mistakes and do stupid things all the time. This is NOT a news flash!

Loving parents who teach by example and who closely monitor their daughter's internet activity? A society that has not created an online environment which makes predation of young girls so easy and common?

I seriously don't understand how one can hear about this story, presumably watch the video and yet reserve their harshest judgment for the girl.

I can't either. This is totally foreign to me. I think it's just horrible. Not only do they blame her, but they laugh inappropriately and degrade her too! A child!
 

In your mind?

Of that I have little doubt.


Have a nice day.
 
Well, if you're passing out blame, then the people who tormented her also share it,
Not for her death.
She is solely responsible.

They, as has been repeatedly stated, are responsible for their actions.
But not for her death.
Your trying to blame others who are not responsible is sickening.


as does everyone who came into contact with this child,
Pure bs! Absurdity at it's finest.


You seem confused.
This has nothing to do with whether she is to blame or not for taking her life. Which as we all know, she is.



Seriously, does it give you pleasure to come across so cold?
I am not.
I am not saying that I am glad that she is gone, or that she deserved to die, or is a piece of **** for what she did, etc...
So stop trying to twist it.
She is responsible. Saying so is not cold.

And how about parents teaching their boys a little empathy and not to treat anyone like this girl was treated.
 

This was a contest between slick, adult predators and one little girl. The little girl lost and paid with her life.

Hell yes, she was failed -- and it is a tragedy.

The internet is a game-changer; this is not schoolyard bullying as in, getting shoved to the ground by a kid a year older than you. This is psychological warfare that bleeds into real life, is unrelenting and the kid cannot escape.

We desperately need new criminal laws in this country that will provide penalties for adults who seek children and then deliberately harm them using the internet. Even if every parent in America was alert to the dangers of the 'net tomorrow, some would still neglect their kids. Some kids have no parents. And some kids will evade reasonable care by their loving, attentive parents to seek the attention of adults with bad intentions.

The rat bastards who use the internet to deliberately lead a child to suicide for their own amusement need to be doing time for murder, IMO.


 
You are obviously confused because they can be.
Especially when the actions are criminal. The State does it all the time.
 
I would like to take a moment to remind people that bad facts make bad laws. A sucky situation but there is nothing we can legislate that will undo what has been done. Try to be better people and try to teach your kids/grandkids to be better people and you will do more good than any piece of legislation could ever do.

I guess we know on which side of this story their sympathies lie. Makes me wonder if they see themselves in her tormentors.

I can - people that are bullies themselves, in one way or another (not that I am necessarily saying the people in this thread that are doing as your say, are. I imagine many probably are not. Maybe even all of them).

I mean, think about it. Usually, bullying involves more people on the giving then the receiving end.

Then, that would mean that there are more bullies in the world then victims (although even these bullies could be the victim of other bullying by family/friends/etc.).

And since you and several others on here have courageously admitted to being bullied; then by the law of averages, there must be many bullies on this thread who have not admitted their wrong doing's yet.

And if there are - then one would assume that it would be in their best interest to belittle the consequences of said bullying.

Again...not that I am saying that anyone in this thread is a bully.

I am just sayin'...

I didn't know these details Pinkie. I thought it was just a regular case of bullying (sorry, I don't know how else to word it - I'm tired). I didn't finish the story because it was so sad.
 
Nice, now we get inappropriate laughter.
That isn't in any way shape or form inappropriate laughter.
It was well deserved to what he said.
Or can you not recognize that?




Ah... Apparently you just wanted to make an inappropriate comment, which is why you said the above false statement and followed up with said inappropriate comment.
What a shame.
Your actions says far more about you then it does about me.
And that is in no way how you win a debate or come out ahead in a discussion.
Hell, it isn't even appropriate for a discussion. Far be it for you to know that.

This girl committed no crime......she was the victim. Your example is meaningless as we're not really talking about a court of law, are we? We're not talking about "legal" responsibility.......we're talking about "personal" responsibility, are we not?
 

Really? Maybe we should have a poll question about that. You and a couple of others here are either cold-hearted snakes, or you have some kind of issues. You're behavior here on this thread is completely antisocial IMO.

Not saying you are, but I think many are confusing her being responsible for her actions, as passing judgement on her.
The two are exclusive.

Talking about "flashing her tits" is judging her, even suggesting she kinda deserved what she had happen to her. Let's not start trying to pretend you have any sense of compassion.
