Vancouver forum is an open forum which daily sketches the diversity and the commonality of Vancouverites. It is also an online community where you can discover and discuss various aspects of life in Vancouver and the world at large. If you are a visitor or a soon-to-be resident of Vancouver, or simply have an interest in it, you are more than welcome to join the group of Vancouver Forum posters, but know that any questions you may have about the city and its neighborhoods, the quality of life and lifestyle, are likely going to be met with a barrage of insults by some our resident comedians.

If you are a Vancouverite who just stumbled upon these pages, you'd best get the hell out of here before anyone sees you, but if you do decide to join in, for God's sake don't tell them your ethnicity or you may never hear the end of it! Do not be surprised by uncensored and sometimes blatantly stupid, crazy, remarks that shouldn't ever be spoken in private, let alone on a public forum. If that still hasn't deterred you, then you probably have a thick enough skin and a good enough sense of humour to handle this place. Good luck. You're going to need it!

Is bullying a form of Natural Selection?

Unread postby J0E » 16 Jul 2012, 17:46

Most people don't like bullies.

I don't like 'em. I saw some terrible bullies in high school

But starting to wonder if in fact it's about defining an ability of a person to survive.

I didn't bully anyone in high school, but sometimes I got bullied, sometimes I fought back.

Sometimes I won.

So maybe what bullying or the reaction to it does is help define a person, get to know their limits, know what they can fight back against.

Ridiculous question. Doesn't deserve an answer.
I've agreed to restrain myself. I'm thinking of turning you into a dolphin instead, sending you back to your father.

ditto ... what he said ^
The Paradox of Tolerance:

If we extend tolerance to the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them" ~ Sir Karl Popper

OP, your post is 100% valid. Unfortunately, there are few open forums around that could actually tackle the question with any sense of intelligence, and this ain't one of them.
