    Ya got me! One time I got stitches. I probably would have just bled to death if I didn't get the 5 stitches on my left index finger right?

    Regardless this isn't my point. People who are so emotionally unstable that they can't handle getting called mean names on FACEBOOK of all things need medical attention for being sooooo stupid.

    Apologies accepted. Btw, have you noticed that they say "apologies" like 5 million times in Spartacus (the TV series)? It always made me mad.

    I think we need to define 'Cyber bullying' here.
    I wouldn't class a rogue insult, or somebody calling somebody fat, or anything that goes on this forum to be cyber bullying. That being said, cyber bullying is a very real thing, and it isn't as simple as somebody saying something mean on facebook. The 'WELL WHY DON'T YOU JUST UNADD THEM' logic is the same as 'Why don't you just avoid the bullies at school' - Sometimes it isn't an option, due to various reasons. People who commit suicide over any form of bullying aren't doing so over the bullying itself, it moreso serves as the last push to bring somebody over the edge.

    Saying the only medical attention you've received is stitches is absurd. I'm no medical expert, but chances are you've probably been immunized and vaccinated from something really nasty.

    You simplify it to make it sound stupid, and it doesn't really impress me. Even though I think the internet is an inferior form of communication, it still is one.

    There are really far too many circumstances to list. But if I may ask you a question, have you, or any other right-wingers here ever gone through severe depression?

    What relevance does that possibly have?

    I don't think you need to take it in that direction. The right-winger direction anyways.

    Okay bud, you again ignore my actual point because of an exaggeration in the original post. The fact is these people literally think killing themselves is the answer for people not liking them. Grow, up. There are far worse fates . Obviously it does happen but erecting absurd laws to protect the helpless sheep is not what our government should be spending resources on. There are real problems at hand .

    So list one.

    Again, "bud", you simplify the situation to make it sound stupid. This doesn't impress me. They don't kill themselves because people don't like them, no one ends their life because of that.

    Yes. Yes they do.

    They say a bunch of things that all mean "people don't like me"

    If no one liked you, I think you'd end your life as well. That isn't an insult against you, but I think a lot of us fall into that camp. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure we require positive interaction with our fellow human beings to be mentally healthy.

    I'm just throwing a random example to "support Ler", so don't take it like the example of examples (plus, I'm biased by all the things I've seen on TV about American highschools). Sometimes, said bully will just be on a crusade to "ruin yoouur liiiife" because you gave him the good ol' bad eye, or maybe he is just hiding his insecurities by kicking the crap out of you; and generally, subject A has friends, and etc etc etc.
    Well, I hope you've learnt something useful today kids. Now go, hug your mother and don't do drugs, mkay?

    I totally agree (well not in the kill yourself part but I agree it could cause significant mental distress). I just don't agree that these people are in a situation where they are literally total social outcasts and there's no way out of it for their entire life. They are over reacting brats. If they are clinically depressed then whether they were "cyber bullied" or not had little influence over it anyway as they wouldn't view the happy part of their existence regardless. I'm talking about normal healthy people who would kill themselves over something THIS retarded.

    Yes, they do, I know because I used to be bullied in school. I tried to kill myself a couple of times, but I stopped because I fear the reaper.

    Fair enough. Can you give me an example of a normal healthy person who killed themselves over something "this retarded." That being something I would assume is extremely petty.

    Edit: When I said, "They don't kill themselves because people don't like them, no one ends their life because of that." I was using it as something petty, as if one person doesn't like you who you just met. I know I used the same wording later on, I probably shouldn't have when I meant it in the sense of a lot of people not liking you.

    I wan't aware that you have to subscribe to a certain form of ideological thought in order to experience mentality and physically debilitating sadness.

    Perhaps he himself has realized that key parts of his ideology may have formed in order to try and get other people to legally have to protect him from the world.
