General Debate: The Solution to All The World's Problems

[dybmh]

If you plan to post pix as proof,
just remember that this is a family
friendly forum. No nudity.

Rev,

1) You were the one who whipped out his "stamina" to be measured. Not me.

it's you.....trying to catch up with me.
You lack the stamina.

2) Before I am a zionist. Before I am Jew. I am a mensch. A good, strong yet sensitive man. Do you know the first rule to being a good, strong, sensitive man? Apparently not.

How to be a good man: Rule #1 - Don't think with your pecker. Especially if it's like ... that. And then we point down. 'Cause we're teaching the young men what to do.

There's a chair at the kiddie table available. I see some of the littles on their tablets. Maybe they're watching cartoons. You like cartoons don't you?

How to solve the world's problems?

Objective: Freedom needs to be enforced AND bullies should not be ignored.

1. Be encouraged! We can do this!​
2. Cultivate patience and stamina.​
3. Work hard, play hard, rest, recover, repeat. ​
4. Stop Making the same mistakes.​
5. Never quit, but don't neglect step #2​

Who can argue with that?

Rev,

Nothing good from you ever starts out thus.
Skipping the rest of it.

What a strange fellow.
Am I being taunted out of jealousy or love?
Or both?

It's not jealousy. And taunting isn't accurate either.

I mean, you're not being ignored, so there's that.

No big loss though, the revised version is even more troublesome than the original and sounds like a recipe for tyranny or abuse of some sort. Enforce freedom? Don't ignore (and thus confront) alleged bullies?

Given the mechanisms that would be required for this, my response is more or less "yikes" and "stay away from me" and "I don't want what you're selling."

I'm still peeved by the word "enforced" and would like it to be replaced by something more appropriate, "defended" seems apt.
Other than that little detail, I'm on board.

The solution to all the world's problems is:

Spoiler: Answer

Stop making the same mistakes!

Who can argue with that??!!

Love?

 

[dybmh]

Love?

Good. However, love comes in many forms?

 

[dybmh]

Plan Update: I've included @Heyo's important clairification. I also had a brainstorm last night. We need more JOY in this plan.

@JIMMY12345 , there's room here for love to be included. But I'd like to continue the discussion further with you to be sure it's dialed in, so to speak.

What do we do with the bullies we're not ignoring?

 

[dybmh]

Love?

Love conquers all? Maybe that's not always a good thing? Not always. Do you see what I mean?

 

[dybmh]

What do we do with the bullies we're not ignoring?

I hate to say it, but ,it depends on the bully.

My gut response is:

1. Isolate
2. communicate
3. educate
4. moderate
5. reunion

in that order.

ETA, there needs to be a 3rd party coordinating this between the bully and the one which is being bullied.

It’s a two-part solution. Instant delivery of the best available coffee, at anytime, to those who appreciate it. Those who don’t like coffee, like their steak overdone, or walk through life with a fake tan can be removed to the moon, mars or the asteroid belt.

I think its going to depend too much on the bully to make a concrete plan.

Better figure out why the bullying is occurring, then move forward.

Some bully because they were taught to bully is normal(parental or cultural expectations). Education and exposure would help here.

Some bully because they are scared. These bullies usually need love and encouragement.

A small fragment are simply cruel people. I have no idea what to do with them.

 

[dybmh]

@JustGeorge ,

You're brilliant!


Team! Executive decision: I'm updating the plan. George is right. Bullies are not the problem. It's not an individual which is the root cause. It's "bullying" verb-form, the action, which cannot be ignored. If it is ignored that's going to cause a pendulum effect of unstable ongoing cycles of problems. How the bullying is addressed will vary, yes, definitely. But the most important aspect, imo, and I hope you all agree, we cannot solve the world's problems if the bullying behavior is ignored. Cannot. It will never work.

Step 1: Isolate. Then we stop.

You're hired! Please spread the word far and wide!

Coffee. Dark yet sweet. Smooth and potent. A mix of comfort and exuberance. I'll take mine black and occasionally a mocha-no-whip please. The whip dilutes it.

 

[JustGeorge]

Its easy to say that, but family who cares for this cruel person will object. Some will claim that even the cruelest can be retaught...

Perhaps house in an area in which others can access the bully, but the bully doesn't have free reign. Attempt education anyways, just in case.
