Bullying of any form is wrong.
I remember back in high school, we were bullied for being nerds. So we fought back. A dozen or so fistfights later, the bullying ceased to exist. And strangely enough became sorta friends with the other belligerent students. But that was high school, a time when fistfights do not have any real consequences.
When kids get bullied, it's usually something they had not a lot of control over. It could be the braces, or that funky hair, or the way they walk. Or any random thing. Some kids live with it. Some kids are scarred for life. Some, like us, fight back.
Fighting is wrong.
It's just that in that situation, it kind of worked out well.
And then came tha Internetz.

It was a different sort of bullying. No one can steal your cap in there. Or hit you on the head when you're not looking. Sure you get insulted, humiliated, and get all those memes made in your name. People laugh at you. The crazier ones call you names. The ones with no breeding curse you online.
It's degrading.
You can never live it down.
And you can't search yourself in Google anymore.
But really, whose fault was it that you're in a perfect position to be humiliated by even the dumbest prick and twats online? (Also, there are a lot of them, all deserving of the title, dumbest.)

Victims of cyberbullying. They probably did something quite stupid. Did they deserve the humiliation? I believe they had it coming. Am I right? The Commission on Human Rights might beg to differ. Carabuena and Lao had something in common: Bad decision, caught on video. Are they that stupid in real life? We'll never know. That's where Tito Sen is different. You see, he's macho. Tito Sen came from a time when manly men can never be wrong.
Plagiarism is always wrong.
Sure, it's not against Philippine law. Sure, everyone in the Senate does it. Apparently that means we should it slide. They're in a way. Politicians steal taxpayers money. It is as much as a truth as they are plagiarizing mofos. It's not that we're letting it slide. We just can't do much about it.
Atty. Hector Villacorta is a lawyer. I forgive his lies, they are part of his job description. I guess I just did not expect him to be that stupid. (My bad!)

Please, stop humiliating yourselves.
