QUOTE (goin-god @ Thursday, Jun 21 2012, 10:19) QUOTE (Otter @ Thursday, Jun 21 2012, 15:16) How long do you think it takes before the families of these kids sue for a chunk of that money? God Bless America. On what grounds? Take your pick. They were exposed to violent retribution and emotional scarring after being exposed in the video. Or they could take the RIAA route and complain that they created the video in the first place and are entitled to the profits. I'm being incredibly facetious, if that wasn't evident by the "God Bless America" signoff.

I know, but still.

As a 12-13 year old I don't know if I would told them to stop. I definitely wouldn't have participated but that bus driver is a piece of crap for letting this continue. The lady is attempting to do you a service by monitoring the students so you can drive without distraction. The least you can do is back her up and tell those little f*cks to be quiet. I'd gladly take a lawsuit for dumping a couple of those kids on the side of the road for how they've acted. No respect, no bus ride.

This behavior is not unique. There always has been and always will be little faggots like that in every grade of every school.

So what I don't understand is why such an old, decrepit fat ass who has absolutely no means of applying assertiveness and authority over said faggots was put in such a position. You want individuals of a higher caliber like that of Epic Bearded Man or Dolph Lundgren monitoring that goddamn bus. No one would say a word with mother f*ckers like that in charge.

The fact that this woman has made a small fortune for failing at her job is the kind of irony you'd expect in the US.

If I were in her position I would donate it all, with the exception of the $5,000 set by the goal.

What a bunch of douchebags. What the hell is wrong with kids these days?

everyone says that.
"_______ these days."

everyone seems to think that their day was better than "these days."
but I don't know if there's any truth to that.

I think boys will be boys no matter what generation we live in.
I don't think this kind of behavior is anything new or different. the only difference is that everyone has a camera now. so "these days" you're simply exposed to it more. I don't know if it's any worse or actually happening more than it used to. but now you've got the opportunity to SEE it when you had no way to do that just 15 years ago (just before cellphone video cameras).

You know what, this is a good point. She's not much of an authority figure if she's going to be bullied to the point of tears. I do feel bad for her because no one should be made fun of for having dead loved ones, and those kids should get their asses beat for thinking that's funny. But she should have never been put in that position in the first place, it makes no sense why they wouldn't hire someone who's actually capable of dealing with these types of kids.

[zoo3891]

This is how kids in America act, especially the ones between 4th and 8th grade. I remmeber back in 5th I was one of the kids being bullied, one time they stole my squirtle figurine and almost kept it, I had to 'fake' tears to get it back.

The worst part is that you can't reason with them. Their insults could be nonsensical as f*ck, but their friends will still laugh at you, and if you returned the greatest wisecrack in the world they'd look at you like you just spoke it in German.

Every charity/fund/etc. is people driven. This charity had a great idea, giving a woman a vacation for having to put up with a bus ride of insults not just towards her, but her family as well. When the people find this fund, and feel real emotion they're going to donate towards it. The person who controlled the thing should have put a limit on how much they could make, or who knows, maybe the extra money will be donated towards some greater cause. Don't blame a whole country, or a woman who volunteered and didn't expect she'd need that certain set of skills.

Literally, the only way to do that is to beat the sh*t out of them with your fists. Kids will break out knowing that what they've done led them to getting pounced on. It's mass hysteria for them. I know this because the same thing happened in the 4th grade when this kid used to pick on me and call me "ugly ass indian" all the time and steal my notebooks and sh*t. Hooked off and he ended up stopping.

I feel like you are right, and in fact your statement might be 100% true. However, I can look back and say that even as I kid I wouldn't have gone this far taunting someone, yet alone an elderly person. Nor can I say I knew anyone that I suspect would have. It seems to me that every generation is just a little more desensitized then the one that came before it. I could possibly be looking back through rose colored glasses, but I can't help feeling like that observation is valid. Respect is something that just isn't afforded to people in the way it used to be. I'm no saint. I've treated others badly in my life, but I have never picked on someones grandma for f*cks sake. You just don't do it. These kids have to have some really laid back "parents". There is just no excuse for thinking this is ok.

Then again, maybe its just the excess of video cameras now days, as you said... Surely though, there has to be more to it. I mean I honestly just can't fathom treating an elder (and a woman) this way without any kind of provocation. It is absolutely disgusting. So disgusting to me in fact that to even try to rationalize it as kids being kids is hard to take. I'm not one of these bleeding hearts that wants to see bullies go to jail or something equally ridiculous, but really there just isn't an excuse for this... just, none.

[buzbegone]

I've had a first-hand experience with blatant bullying on the bus and I still don't know where kids get off with this. I can only guess that Mommy doesn't love them and Daddy sodomizes them.
The sad thing is that this is only news because it was recorded and most of the world will forget it happened in a week or two.

blaming this generation solely for conduct like this. As if children only learned to be cruel over the last 10 years...

yeah but over the last 10 years "punishment" has changed, in the early 50s if a kid did this he would get smacked so hard and he wouldnt do it again, now a days if a kid does something like this, his parents will be like "heres a xbox, now promise me you wont do it again"

[nightwalker83]

I felt sorry for the Woman whom was attacked those kids should know better. Although, I found myself thinking "What the hell? The US is buying countries now?" I was thinking of Greece the country. Well, give the trouble in the later the US could probably buy it anyway.

No, it would be more like "no xbox for one hour" as a punishment.
It all depends on how the parents teach them from right and wrong. Saying that they would reward their kids for doing bad is going a bit too far off, but I'm sure it's happened.
