Question

What are your thoughts on people ganging up on one person, verbally, physically, emotionally?

Answer 2

they're cowards whose bravery only exists in a pack.

Answer 3

I think its bullying and not right for anyone to do that.

Answer 4

It is generally cowardice and as a general practice should not be tolerated.

Answer 5

It's a form of bullying and I do not approve of this.

Answer 6

it's known as mobbing.  Technically, at the workplace, it's illegal: you are allowed to express your opinion ( first amendment rules) but so is the other guy.  If there is a difference of opinion ( long live diversity) then it needs to be considered in a cool fair way.  If a majority opinion is formed, it doesn't give the majority any more right to gang up on the people in the minority- that's just childish.

You'd think that good old common sense would lead the way, but mankind has a regrettable history of repeating this mistake over and over again. All of our major religions speak out on loving, caring, compassion, and even give us fixed rules for doing so. Do we listen? Do we even try and implement some of these ideas into our everyday life?

In some places around the world, the answer is thankfully still yes. I have lived outside the US half my life now, and I can say, no one country has a monopoly on good or bad people. They seem to be fairly evenly distributed all around the world, but the US is gainng on the bad side.

If you see someone is being attacked, at least offer them a tissue for their tears. Don't just walk away. It could be you next.

Answer 7

considering i've been through all three types, i think it shows weakness of several people trying to prove they are tougher and stronger than "the little emo, girl who could easily kick their butt if she wanted to" (the last part is true but wasn't goin through their minds) It's stupid, damaging to the mind, and one of the main causes of students going pscho and killing everyone

Answer 8

Intervention?

Answer 9

They are lower than the dust itself

Answer 10

I think it is the most abhorrent behaviour anyone or anybody can say or do.  It is nothing but mob rule, and the most decadent thoughtless crime anyone or anybody can think of mustering.  It is for inferior people who have deep psychological problems, mainly because they do not want to reason or discuss their most troubled inner feelings.

Answer 11

It's wrong, absolutely unnecessary, & etc.

Answer 12

sucks

its happened to all of us

all you have to do is hold your own and eventually it should go away
