Serious Question
I pose to the people of these boards, and I will explain what brought me to this question after a few answers are given (if I'm not banned before then, and this has nothing to do with these forums), but I would like everyone's input. The question isn't going to seem political until the inspiration is given, but this does stem from politics, and not American politics to boot! I will actually have several more questions at that point. It's been a helluva day, so maybe this will get people actually exchanging ideas instead of sniping and bickering. It's a simple question that can be answered with a yes or no, but I would like to know some reasoning.
Is it okay to bully a bully?

That's a tough one for me. I mean if I say yes, then that would make them both bullies. If I say no, I would be a hypocrit because I believe in standing up for yourself. I do however believe that you can ignore a person but if it continues to get worse, a person can only take so much before they snap. Though, I do believe in a justified *** whoopin of a bully as well. But then that brings me back to my first point.
I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.

I don't think standing up for yourself is the same as bullying.

no
bullying is not acceptable under any circumstances. if someone begins to bully you defend yourself from any physical bullying, take it up the chain of command, and remember names mean nothing.
remember defending yourself does not always mean to react or to counter, a defensive attack is the best attack. in other words you do not have to nor should you wait to be physically assaulted, if the threat is real, then defend yourself before it occurs.

I honestly cannot say I've been bullied. I don't know if it's my 6'8" 275lb frame has anything to do with it or I just avoid situations. There has been a time or two in which I have dealt justice for people who couldn't stick up for themselves. Of course that was back in high school when it was considered, "school yard justice"

To me Cyber Bullying is picking on somebody that is not adequately able to defend themselves. It is almost always a sh*t kicking for the person doing the bullying. Wick, I have not been around here long enough to understand who you are referencing in this thread. You seem more than capable of handling yourself. Am I missing something?

My feelings is that you should take a stand against a bully. Maybe not in a physical way unless it cannot be avoided and your defending yourself. Bullying is another hot topic in society and it is a shame how we see kids/teenagers who seem to be driven to suicide because of bullying. Maybe those kids have other issues but still to be brought to hurting themselves is horrible. And when it is due to constant nagging about looks, weight, nationality, religion, what have you. Adult bullying happens also si I feel a person should stand up for themselves and their beliefs.
