Bullies.

I don't like bullies and that's partly because of my special needs brother.  And then when I was in high school the city decided to put the special needs kids into the main stream schools.

I was the social misfit with long hair, sunglasses, jeans, and a t-shirt.  And I had a lot of muscle under my fat so I acted like a bully when some other bully decided to bully a special needs kid.  I know that two wrongs don't make a right but occasionally might does make right.  Sometimes to their champion I would do some things that the school wouldn't approve of and I wasn't really concerned even though I did understand the hypocrisy of my actions.

Nowadays I see bullies have gotten more subtle.  On facebook you'll see a lot of posts about whatever and it'll end with "I know that 99% won't share this...If you care you will."  Subtle and apparently emotional also.  Sneaky bastards.  Whenever I see that kind of message I don't share the post even if I feel a connection because of the subject.  I've done my bit of bullying and I don't want any more.
