+567 We have the internet, medical care, and around-the-world travel. We have obesity, pollution, nuclear weapons and cyber bullying. This is simultaneously a great and a horrible time to be alive, amirite?

You put "cyber bullying" in the same league as nuclear weapons and earth-raping pollution?

Cyber-bullying has caused the death of more kids in the past 50 years than nuclear weapons have in the same past half-century.

Prove it. Cuz from my understanding, real life bullying is far worse than cyber bullying

But Cyber Bullying doesn't have the potential to make the earth uninhabitable and make humankind go extinct. Sure it's bad, but if this was Sesame Street then Cyber Bullying would be the thing that is not like the others.

I think obesity would be hard to place with nuclear weapons & pollution. But yeah, what you said is true. @KluKlayu...I have to idea what you're talking about. Look it up anywhere, the last war-use of nuclear weapons was in 1945...I don't really need to prove it >.<

Oh you're right I forgot about obesity. Not even close to as serious as nuclear weapons, but it's still scary to think that 30% of US adults are obese...

No kidding :3 Sort of makes me want to go out and run laps...

And that number went from like less than 5% to 30% in only 20 years. How long until it gets to 50% or even 75%? We'll be screwed...

I had just read an article about a girl who killed herself because of cyber bullying when I posted this. It was fresh in my mind, so it ended up in the post.

Luckily, I'm not affected by most of the latter things. Well, not too sure about nuclear weapons yet. ;P

People killing themselves over cyber bullying and bullying in general...is ridiculous. Get a fuckin back bone.

(ew.): Have you ever experienced being picked on? No. I'm guessing you're one of those assholes who kicks people when they're down.

EVERYONE has been picked on at least once. And no I'm not a heartless bitch, I don't 'kick people when they're down'. Its pretty damn ridiculous that 'omg he says I'm fat and they all laughed at me.', is really worth ending your life over. Saying fuck everything because people that don't matter or mean shit to me say something mean, or even physically hurt me...is fucking stupid. I'm not saying its not sad.

(ew.): I don't condone those idiots freaking out over one little comment. That's just weak. Though, when a single person is victimized for something that they have no control over for years on end, then that's when it gets serious. People don't commit suicide because of one little comment. It's due to years, even decades, of severe mental, emotional, and physical abuse.

naw, there's stil bitches that do it over nothing. And still. Years of abuse? DO SOMETHING about it. Oh woe is me someone I don't even know emails me constantly saying I should kill myself!!! I guess I should do it. Its still ridiculous bullshit. Like I said originally, get a fucking back bone. Tell someone about it. Whatever. Don't fucking kill yourself, idiots.
