    It doesn't seem to be innate though, since it varies even within English speaking cultures.

    The effects within America are profound. There really are critical elements that make this country very different from others. There is indeed variation within the white race, but this does not mean that there isn't still a generally strong effect. Simply look at the outcomes in the Nordic countries for the critical case study. If their outcomes are their worst, regardless of their level of tolerance, outbreeding, and the welfare state, what does that imply?

    Genetics, not culture!

    You're trying to change topics. We started on the character of bullying in schools, you haven't even started to explain that difference in genetic terms. You literally said "Multiculturalism and the innate tribalistic behaviors of mankind." (two noun phrases, not even a sentence) like that was the end of it.

    Dang. Lanny kinda just ended it. Like, he didn't open it for discussion, yet in his comment suggested to talk about things. Yet he had things closed lock solid sealed. Dang.

    I just figured that was like his summary of the book he linked in that same post (didn’t look it up to find out)

    Originally posted by Lanny Yeah, the US does seem to have a particular problem with bullying in school. Of the countries I've experienced K-12 education in the US was the least physically violent but the most socially divided. Like no one gets bullied by the big dude threatening to beat them up or whatever but the in group/out group dynamic is pretty significant and I feel like there's much more stigma around being part of the out group than elsewhere. I'm convinced this is also what gives rise to the selfie phenomenon and obsession with documenting every social gathering, it works to vouch for your social status to those not present.

    So you were a fat loner in school. Thanks for sharing...

    It leads to profound social stratification. I've linked to this multiple times in the past, it's something everyone should be familiar with: http://archive.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/08/05/the_downside_of_diversity/

    It really doesn't matter though. These shooters kill such a small ammount of people that its really not that big of a deal. If it started happening more, then society would care more.

    Right now its more of a media thing(entertainment) and something people talk about and may protest guns or whatever. But the general American mindset is, "If I don't get killed by one of these shooters,then I couldn't care less."

    As a society, Americans would rather bully and outcast certain people, while paying a price for it(even though they bitch and cry about it). This is a choice Americans have made as a society. If they were that upset about the price they pay for doing so, they would changed their behavior.

    They only people directly affected by this are those that catch a bullet or those that know one that does. That's such a small amount of people, ans those same cry babies made the choice so its their own fault afterall.

    Its kindof like everyone asks for it, and knows of the consequences, but when someone they know gets fucked up by an outcast, they suddenly feel sorry for themselves.

    lol, American culture.
