To all the intellectuals, most of you as children, were probably bullied or picked on because you were different. Because you were smarter. Maybe as I write this post, I realize I probably one of those bullies. We picked on ya'll because you had something we didnt. Being smart made you better. Or at least that was how I looked at it. Then I grew up realizing that everyone is the same. But as you guys grew up and became men and women, You became bullies, looking down on people that aren't as smart as you are. Being smart in the way I am talking about, is that you know technical details, mathematics, and science. it doesn't mean you grew up. You are still that little kid that got picked on in school, and now you are picking on everyone else in retribution. I not only grew up, but I grew as a person. I read some of these posts, and you pick at the people for actually no reason. Me, myself, I view it as retribution to my past. I was guilty of throwing the first stone. Along with lots of my friends that played sports, had the nice cars, and got away with anything we did, just because our teams won. Now as ya'll read this and prepare to flame me for my opinion, I want you to think, are you attacking my opinion, or are you attacking that kids that picked on you from your past. Now as the gasoline gets poured on the fire, what are your motivations for talking down to people who want to learn? Or has your life become so empty, that you only find joy in other peoples pain? This isn't just an indictment of just you, the readers, but of myself as well. Because if people like me hadn't existed, maybe people like you wouldn't either. Let the fire be lit. Jason
As a high school student, I dont really think bullying is that big of an issue, now or later on in life, if you actually thought about it that much (which I guess you did if you lived in a little jock ego bubble) then you probably had some deeper problems. Maybe it was different when you went to school. Or maybe there are just a bunch of dicks in Texas. Honestly I cant relate to anything you said. Maybe I missed the point of the thread. Or maybe the sleep deprivation(its 6 in the morning and I haven't gone to bed yet) is taking a toll on my reading comprehension skills.
OH boy OH boy OH boy OH boy OH boy OH boy OH boy OH boy wat has happened to u man? i have seen 2-3 threads by you and they are..... well, leave it! Actually, I am both Bully and a SMart GUY!

I agree, there are so many people on BHW now, who when a newbie asks a question, simply flame them for not using the search button, people need to be taught to use the search button before they start to use it, I'm sure a lot of you were told to use the search button on the internet before, BHW is a community, you should help each other out, not simply start flame wars over somebody asking how to start making money with CPA.
This was the example I was trying to make, and as for the jock bubble I lived in, I also graduated and went to college, and had everything pretty much handed to me, and you are right, you young men, dont have a clue as to what it was like. Because people like me that grew up made sure that ya'll wouldnt have to go through the same phases we did. But the post as it began, could not have had a better explanation point, than the asshole that posted that which is a reoccurring post on some of my threads. Do you have the need to repeat yourself, or is you memory so short, that you cant remember, i doubt it though. Everyday, you only can get better, if you can learn something new and useful. So i hope that the person I quoted will grow up one of these days and figure out the proper way to treat and speak to others in a helpful manner. Good luck to you all.
A few things were posted before (we) finished posting our last post. I (the one writing) am jason. Most posts and threads are written by my wife amanda. So lets see, the team part confuses everyone apparently. So the smart guy thats the bully/jock/intellectual that is arrogant about what he has accomplished still hasnt learned that there are always people that are better, smarter, faster, and stronger. Aw the joys of ignorance. I almost accomplished as much as he did, perhaps not on the intelectual scale, but in business, life, and love, I have achieved more than any one man should ever have. but if you have achieved all these things, young sir, why be an ass still? I still catch myself doing it by all means. But to come on here and brag about it, in the fashion you did, shows the ones that agree with what I am saying, the kind of person that they are dealing with when they are talking to you.
ummm no, people wanted to bully me before. Because I didn't play sports. And then I got into fights because I hated them bullying me and I always won to my own amazement. Now I'm not bullied at all. And I am a kid. edit: and stop posting this stupid crap, can't you see your reputation? It means stop it. Stupid lame stuff of yours.
You haven't learned anything at all then.... Our reputation is because of something we did, and we know what it is, and it has nothing to do with our threads. And I am sorry you were bullied, but it looks like you just turned into one. Chastising us about what we put on here, when we make valid points, is totally what I expected, especially from your age group. I am just sorry that you haven't learned the lesson that you need to learn. You see, I actually feel remorse for what I did, regardless if i was defending myself, or picking on other people. To me, it just seems that you are really proud for beating people up. And just the recent posts have been these types... I have decided not to do "COPY PASTA" about useful information, but on the other hand, useful information is never appreciated until that little light goes off in your head. Until you grow up, learn some respect, stop talking to people like you are superior, And treat people the way you want to be treated, unless this is the way you want to be treated. You can be as smart as you want to be, and as tough as nails, but you can still be completely worthless to society. So grow up kid, and do it alot sooner than it seems a lot of people have, including myself.
man this requires thinking, and i believe i might have been one of those bullied, but this again requires thinking and i wasn't smart when i was young -- till today actually.
Yo Gramps, You're killing my buzz.... lighten up, you think too much... don't take stuff so personally, smartass comments are usually tough love (so you learn something). Flat out a-holes get banned. nerd, jock are irrelevant here, just people sharing tips on how to make coin.
Or maybe some of the things that you're posting aren't quite as useful as you believe they are. Related to what you're talking about, people need to adapt to their environment if they want to have a smooth ride. If you go to school and don't fit in with the crowd, then you'll get bullied. Likewise, if you come onto BHW (which is typically a more experienced place than the average internet marketing forum) and have very little experience, then expect the same outcome. In my opinion, the best thing for newbies to do (which is what I've done and what I still do with most things) is just sit back, relax, and not contribute or post very much. Instead, just read and learn! There's no point in giving advice or information if you don't have the same experience or knowledge that other people here have. When you learn enough and have tried things enough to be experienced and confident with what you're doing, then that's the right moment to join in the discussion. Don't get me wrong, Jason - we've spoken a lot on Vent and I get on with you! But that's my two cents regarding your idea on bullying - it will happen anywhere and at any stage of life if you aren't like the people who you're around.
Well there sonny, you missed the point.. Added on to that.. This is the lounge, man, you know, where all of us stoners, and drinkers come to unwind. Plus, im sorry that you think that wisdom is thinking too much, but that seems to be above your young little head.. And if flat out a-holes got banned, then me and you wouldn't be speaking because I am an asshole.... LMAO... And you are right behind me in the line. GreenHustler, you are right, some of my posts aren't extremely helpful to people like you, alot of it is just whitehat marketing tactics that I put together from plr articles... And funnily enough, most of the articles came from here.... LMAOOOOOOO>..... But at this point, we get on and talk, its cool, and your advice is always welcome. Mostly my point to this thread was to wash away some of my thoughts about what i was, what i am, and how people are acting around me. becasue if you look green at the responses, the ones of us that have figured it out, what little of it we can understand, we are different people. You can see by reading this, which people have grown up and which ones havent. and remember, im a 10yr vet at what i do, i just don't do it y'alls way. and maybe, i should have waited before trying to help some of them, or any of them and there are some people that deserve no help at all. but i make mistakes like all human beings. its just funny how few of them on here view themselves as human. thanks green, i will take your advice though. See you soon on the vent

I loved being a bully in school, right from elementary through high school. i would never pick on the weak or smart kids though, whats the fucking point? My favorite in high school were the football players. Just the ones that thought they were so big and strong, and looked down on others.I used to love staring them down at parties too, theyd always look at the ground, they knew better. It's a shameful thing to think of now looking back. I had a bad advantage though. My dad was a mean drunk and a former boxer and punched the shit out of me on a regular basis as a kid. As I got older I learned to fight back with all the tricks he taught me. So by the time I hit highschool I was an experienced fighter, none of those other guys had any real knock down drag out fights under their belt. I had lots. Those guys were big, but none could hit as hard as my old man, but I could. Here's what I learned though. Every body was afraid of me. No one really liked me. They just pretended because they were afraid, it was not real respect, people fearing you is not respect, its fear, and you repulse them. I liked a lot of the same stuff the smart kids did, and would loved to hang out with them, but the would avoid me like the plague. I also liked a lot of the smart girls, but they thought I was a Neanderthal. The only girls I could attract were the fucking skanks. Anyways, there are far better things to be known for in life, and in school. Only skanks are attracted to tough guys. Put all your efforts into being a mediator and a good guy. Never ever admire any kind of violence, it's a leftover from the fucking caveman days. Man kind has evolved since then, well most anyway. I hate violence and the attitude that goes with it. Love your fellow person and be kind to them, and always always walk away from a fight if you can. One fight always leads to another....always....so let it go, unless your lifes in danger.
Betster77, do you even know who Voltaire was or did you just google quotes? Here is his real name François-Marie Arouet, so people besides the ones who had to read him in philosophy class will be able to search out who he is. Because if you had read any of his writing, you would have read that that was a direct shot at the French aristocracy of the day. He wrote everything he could to change his contemporary time, thus resulting in his exile from France. So as to quote him, to insult me, is a joke. You obviously dont know what you are talking about. Your copy pasta wasn't finished yet. As far as your Mark Twain quote that was aimed at the presidents of the United States at the time, but then you would have to read to know that. Here's one for you. "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great." Mark Twain. And to you, tbootz, that was great, and imaginative thinking, which gave me pause because you came up with a great question that makes me rethink my position.
lol... Did you just quote Mark Twain on not belittering peoples' ambitions WHILE siding with the French Aristocracy instead of the dissenter? In the same post? Do you also rally for individual freedoms while siding with the confederacy? Hilarious. Obviously I Fail... you have proven your wisdom and my ignorance.
