That ' s historyhistory and ICSE covered that too . I ' m talking about history as referenced in literature . Knowing WTF is going on when Bassanio talks about Cressida in Merchant of Venice , or why Portia is compared to her namesake . <| sep |> I didn ' t go at the time , I landed somewhat far and had no fuel left . But now I will ! <| sep |> Yeah , that ' s not how it works in the real world . It ' s nice to have this fantasy where all these nerds that got picked on at school ended up married to Victorias Secret models and all the dick heads ended up as heroin addicts , etc , but that ' s incredibly unlikely . More likely scenarioBullies go on to live out their normal lives , not even aware of the amount of hurt they caused people . Perhaps they end up as an alcoholic on their 3 rd divorce or maybe they end up with an awesome wife in an awesome house with an awesome car . Doesn ' t really matter . Their victims remember the shit for most of their lives and have stunted social skills , low self esteem and low confidence which effects their social , romantic and work life for years to come . Fuck that . Have you ever seen a captain of the football team get bullied ? Fuck no . Why ? Because bullying is all about picking on weaker people , or at least people that PRESENT themselves as weak . The second their victims fight back and lay them on their ass they will back the fuck off . The idea that you can teach a bully not to bully is fucking insanity .
