that little boy made me cry! :`( making fun of someone because the color of ther skin, the color of their hair, just being a complete bully in general, is wrong and i hate it. it really breaks my heart how some people can be so rude and hurtful.

"What are you drinking? Ginger ale?"

Oh My Gosh! That's so mean if that was real.

I have red hair and everybody says because i have red hair i have no soul because apparently "gingers have no soul".Or the devil because my hair is red and hes red it hurts my feelings because i do have a soul from god and it breaks my heart to see that boy cry.

@pinheadman665 It is dangerous, I agree. And I agree that it is easy just to say it rather than doing it. Another dangerous thing about me is that I can be a bit impulsive; I tend to do things without thinking. So I would still stick with my previous comment of defending anyone being bullied. Easier said than done yes; I guess I would have to wait for the moment to arise.

haha never seen someone bully over hair colour

@waldovicki

Yeah. It's easy for anybody to say that they'd help out a victim, but saying you'd do it and doing it in the world are two different things. What if the bully was a big guy? Lots of muscles? You most likely would not want to get involved, because he could really hurt you if you stepped in. What if he's got a weapon? Same result.

And, true, not everyone is like that, but most people are that ugly.

Living a sheltered life is dangerous. It weakens you to reality.

I know, but it's ABC, and they have to pass the censors.

If I did that I would throw in a couple of "fags" or "cunts", just to make it look more real. I think a lot of people don't get involved in some of these shows because the actors are so corny.

No excuse, though. If you are in any doubt as to whether it's a joke or not, jump in just in case. It's probably a shitty joke, anyway.

@pinheadman665 I'm sorry to hear that. I don't believe everyone is like that, but a great number are. Haha as you can probably tell, I've lived a very sheltered life so I don't know all that's out there, but I know how ugly things can get. If I saw that, or any bullying for that matter, I would definately step up. You have a good day. :)

anyone who judges other people for things they are born with have deep issues and need to be helped.

@waldovicki

Welcome to the real world, buddy. People will go to the deepest levels in order to hurt others just to assuage their own insecurities. People are rotten to the core. I learned that the hard way. This video only strengthens that belief.

[Cooludeful]

Dork and Nerd? No one calls each other that. It's more like..faggot and fucker (excuse the language.) but its the truth.
