    Suggo: criticising something that most people feel is abhorrent isn't bullying.

    If you pick your nose at the table and wipe it on the tablecloth, everyone will look at you funny and someone might say something.

    This isn't 'bullying'.

    unfortunately bullying is ok   because most people agree with it, that is why in real life and online so much bullying takes place.

     

    If an individual does something bad, it is relatively easy to punish him.

     

    But if a group of people does something terrible to an individual they go for the most part unpunished or even get praised for it. Safety in numbers

     

     

    and to marvellosity:

     

    in your world sense/reason and social pressure are harmonious like in your exampel.

    Now a more difficult example: You have the choice to go your own way and do what you like for example play chess and not be like your others mates and there is a risk that you will be seen as weird and shunned or you take drugs and drinking hard like them and will be socially accepted. What is the right thing to do?

    Or a teenage girl that is pressured to having sex early by their friends just to fit in the group and to be socially accepted?

     

    I think social pressures and reason do not too often form a unity.

    Idiot Suggo.

    The colour of something is how it breaks down light into it's components. The sky is the atmosphere, and when light is shone on it it is blue (slightly more complicated why, but) hence the sky, is blue.

    The sky appears blue on those clear days because blue light is scattered by molecules in the atmosphere. The "sky" is what we behold from below as we look up.

    So yes, to everyone but an idiot, it is true that the sky is blue.

    So the gases, water droplets, and dust in the air reflect red light, green light? Unless I'm dangerously mistaken on what blue is, or your using some ultra-pretentious rationale to explain why the sky isn't blue

    My description of why the sky is blue is a little off but nonetheless only a pretentious blowhard would describe it as anthying other than blue


     ChessLobster is pretty close. The sky itself doesn't actually have a color, nothing does. Without light everything is pitch black. The radiation levels of certain properties when combined with light actuall radiate their specific levels which can be found on a rainbow spectrum. So we can find the reflection of the sky on that spectrum in the blue area.

    So technically everybody is correct. Colors don't exist yet the sky is still blue.

    We might as well be talking about the word "Nothing".

    How can nothing be nothing if it has a name?

    ?????????????

    If you argue that, you will soon find yourself arguing nothing exists. As far as humans are concerned, it exists, and it's blue.

    Sure ok, I'll go get my old university textbook.

    Sky is blue.

    Oh dear Suggo, oh dear.

    Suggo

    Which text is that?  Did you actually go to uni?  What course did you do?  Did you also abuse people when they showed you were wrong or disagreed with you at uni? 

    So are you going to be a mod?  You are certainly showing all the skills!

    How about answering one question...the one from earlier...what did happen that hellohello doesn't know about?  How did I hurt you so badly?  lol

    All this just leaves us with the question: What color is the sky in Suggo's world?

    lol, look it up guys...or take a telescope and look at a green tree without it and then look at through the telescope...still green...look at the 'blue' sky and then look at it through the telescope...

    Next thing you know you will be telling me Polar bears are white!!!

     

    Now Rainbow, what about that question...what did happen?  lol

    Why is the sky blue?

    http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/BlueSky/blue_sky.html

    Again, for the slower among us, the sky is blue because is filled with blue light. For a definition of sky, again for the slower among us, see #189.

     RainbowRising:

    "Goddard points out that a high grade moron may be a useful and
    self-supporting member of society in some environments (usually rural)
    whereas he would be quite helpless in the keen competition of urban life."

    If you went to a university you will understand who Goddard is and why I sent this to you. The test is simple, if you respond negatively, you have no idea what Goddard's point was.

    The light you see is blue, the sky isn't.  Maybe you want to reread that Golden...maybe a couple more times!

    I went to a uni - I have no idea who Goddard is

    Remember I'm not from the States ;)
