I watched the video, I laughed at the video, and I think the bullying is awful. Just watching the video and finding it amusing does not turn you into a bully. Posting mean comments about the guy does. How many of us did that?

I completely agree. But how many of us vocalized support? I think the lack of support is just as bad as posting mean comments.

I don't agree. He did not want anybody to see him embarrassing himself. If you know he does not want you to see his video, but you disregard his wish and do it anyway, how can you not call yourself a bully? You disregard his wish and add yourself to the collective mass of people that caused him so much pain, and you still claim the moral high-ground?

  I hope you're kidding. I found star wars kid entertaining. I found this quite entertaining as well: http://cdn02.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/jeong-photobomb/ken-jeong-photobomb-01.jpg http://cdn02.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/je... I found this narration of an embarassing incident entertaining as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nliuibEp-xo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nliuibEp-xo ... and that's off the top of my head. In your world, does that make me a bad person?

    You gave 2 examples of people who made the conscious decision of being in the spotlight. Star Wars kids did not want to be in the spotlight. There's a spectacular crash on the highway. A barrage of thousands of onlookers makes it hard for the ambulance to reach the site. Because of that, the crashed guy dies. Are these onlookers bad people? Not a single one is guilty for his death. They're certainly bad as a group. But of course you can't put 1000 people on trial for each being 0.1 percent guilty. The only thing you can do is hope each single one decides for himself, whether he thinks he's bad... whether he will prioritize his interest as a curious onlooker over a victims wishes and future life path the next time a crash happens.

      Wishes don't automatically get granted. The specific act of ignoring someone's wishes does not even remotely make you a bully. People can cause bad results without being bad.
