"LOOK, I KNOW WE ARE ALL INTO LOVE AND PEACE DUE TO MASS MEDIA BRAINWASHING, ALRIGHT, BUT GET REAL, WE ARE ADULTS, AND, WE LIVE IN THE """REAL WORLD""" TELL ME NOBODY FIGHTS NOW..."
"IT'S SO NOT THE POINT..." SAID THE STUD IN LOW VOICE.
"BUT GET REAL!!! WHAT WAS THE SELF-DEFENSE LAW MADE FOR, DUMBASS???"
"TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF?"
"OBVIOUS!!!"
"I DUNNO"
"LOOK, IN THE WILD, WHEN AN ANIMAL IS BIGGER THAT OTHER, THE SMALL ANIMAL IS WISE ENOUGH TO STAY AWAY FROM THE BIGGER ONE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?"
"NO. AND WE ARE NOT INTO THE WILDE, MIKE"
"I'M TRYING TO SAY HERE, THAT BEN COHEN IS A DADDY BEAR AND HAS MORE MEAT IN HIS BODY THAN THE SUPERMARKET, YOU FOLLOW ME?"
"KINDA? SSSHIT!"
"SO IF HE IS AGAINST BULLYING, I GET THE MESSAGE, HE MEANS WE ALL MUTANTS HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM TO WORK OUT AND KICK BULLIES ASSES. IT'S A QUESTION OF IMAGE AND PUBLICITY, YOU UNDERSTAND? SO IF YOU CANNOT DEVELOP MUSCLE MASS AT LEAST YOU SHOULD LEARN JUJITSU, LIKE NEO, RIGHT?"
"MAYBE... MIKE... CAN WE CHANGE SUBJECT?"
BEN COHEN
"SO LOOK. HOW ARE WE MUTANTS SUPPOSSED TO STOP BULLYING? WITH FLOWERS AND COTTON CANDY? I DON'T THINK SO" I SAID.
"I'VE READ THAT THE REGULAR PROCEDURE IS TALK TO AN ADULT OR A PERSON WITH AUTHORITY. MORE LIKE YOU HAVE TO SNITCH OR SQUEAL. I'VE READ THAT IS RECCOMENDED..."
"WELL YES, I HAVE. IT'S A GOOD TV SHOW"
"WELL, IN THAT PROGRAM BULLIES GET THEIR ASSES KICKED BY PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS AND THEY HAVE TO GIVE MONEY AND GIVE A HUMBLE APOLOGY TO THE BULLIED PERSON"
"THAT'S TV, IT IS NOT REAL..."
"YES IT IS!!!"
"SO THE POINT IS..."
"YOU KNOW? YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT GUNS" SAID THE CUB.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
"THAT KICKING SOMEONE'S ASS IS NOT THE SAME THAN A BULLET SOMEWHERE IN A PERSON'S BODY"
"WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?"
"OBVIOUSLY NOBODY GOT YOUR POST ABOUT STANDING UP AGAINST BULLYING"
"AND? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?"
"THAT KICKING SOMEONE'S ASS IN SELF DEFENSE IS A SOFT AND LIGHT THING TO DO. COMPARED TO """THE REAL WORLD""". "
"WELL..." I SAID. "LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT? NOT?"
"MAYBE... LOOK. IT'S LIKE NOBODY GOT YOUR POST ABOUT STANDING UP AGAINST BULLYING CAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME, IT WAS A VIOLENT THING TO READ. BUT EVERYONE SAW THE HUNGER GAMES AND BOUGHT THE 3 BOOKS AND READ THEM. AND NOW EVERYBODY IS WAITING FOR THE SEQUEL ON THEATERS."
"WHAT?"
"YOUR POST WAS NOT VIOLENT. TURN ON THE TV AND WATCH THE NEWS, THERE'S VIOLENCE. AND EVERYBODY WATCHES THE NEWS. WE DON'T CAUSE WE ARE SENSITIVE AND WATCHING THE NEWS MAKES US DOWN, AND WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW ALL THAT AWFUL THINGS. BUT YOUR POST IS VIOLENT? I DON'T THINK SO"
"SO I'M RIGHT"
"IT'S NOT THE POINT. EVERY PERSON THINKS DIFFERENT, BUT YOU SAID A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE JUST TRUE IN THAT POST. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG ABOUT IT. AND WE HAVE TO REMARK THAT THERE'S A LOT OF FANTASY IN THIS BLOG. THAT'S WHY WE ARE POWER RANGERS, REMEMBER?
"EH... YEAH?"
"I MEAN. GET REAL MIKE. THAT POST ABOUT STANDING ABOUT BULLYING IS FOR EVERYONE, AND YOUR BLOG IS RATED """M""" MEANING MATURE AUDIENCES. ADULTS CAN THINK LIKE ADULTS. IT'S MORE SHOCKING OR VIOLENT TO WATCH DRAGONBALL Z AND ALL CHILDREN DO THAT"
"SO?"
"I SUPPOSE PEOPLE WHO READ THIS BLOG HAVE ADULT CRITERIA. SO WHY YOUR POST ABOUT STANDING UP AGAINST BULLYING WOULD BE SHOCKING? I JUST DON'T GET IT"
WELL... I SEE THE CUB'S POINT.
