There is no use harping on to children about how bullying behaviour and put downs are not acceptable when the leaders of countries, as well as well paid political commentators model those very behaviours. And please, don't start me on reality TV. Aaaarggghhhh.

If children learn that such behaviour has payoffs, financially, politically and whatever the hell people get on tv when they are famous for 15 seconds, then no amount of money spent on anti bullying campaigns will work.

And what is that audience?

It is nothing more than a bunch of 13-16 year-old-boys gathered in a circle yelling "Fight! fight! fight!"

Sometimes I imagine a "woman's party", whose slogan could be anything from "Time to clean up" to "we can do better". It would be hard to imagine anyone doing WORSE!

At AOL one of our core values is that we act with integrity. We have monitored the unfolding events and have determined that Mr. Limbaugh’s comments are not in line with our values. As a result we have made the decision to suspend advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Radio show.

Is it wrong that my first reaction was "AOL still exists?"

I would prefer that people stick to issues and not stoop to personal attacks. When you have to start attacking someone personally to make your point, it seems to me that the audience should realize that the attacker has just lost. But it doesn't work that way here very much anymore.
