If people are rubbernecking, then apparently there are some people who find amusement. If you don't find amusement, ignore him. There is no excuse here for cruelty.

I don't remember him requesting volunteers for drum banging or egg throwing, either.

This is about as cheap as the tourists that try to make the guards at Buckingham Palace move.

No. It's cheaper.

Rubbernecking doesn't denote people being amused, unless you think people are "amused" when they slow down to see a lethal accident on the side of the highway.

You aren't entertained by it. That doesn't mean other people wouldn't be entertained or amused by it. But by no means does it justify cruelty.

Boris, I agree, it's boring and stupid.

That dosen't change the fact that those people are being cruel to someone who, for the moment at least, can't do anything about it.

They probably think kicking the homeless is fun, too.

Cruelty doesn't suddenly become OK when done for someone's amusement. Now if you're all friends with each other and you understand that you are all cool with it, it's one thing, but it's another thing with strangers.

I guess so much for considering yourself Apolyton's moralist amongst a group of sinning liberals. You talk on about premarital sex and alcohol as being immoral, but you can't grasp not treating other people with deceny as being immoral.

Dude, people don't have that attitude in general - they're going to feel harrassed. This is especially the case in the new school you're attending, so don't go around picking on people as if they're well minded friends of your own

...but it's not at all funny

That's the thing, losers never have a sense of humor, and are always the last ones on to picking up and using specific jokes (ie. "Is that your final answer" used even two days after the first airing, "SLOWWHAND TO CUBA" 4 months later, for all the sharp knives in the kit we know as Poly)

It's *ing stupid and irritating, in short - and I'd like to see if they find it just as funny if Dave pelts them in the face with rocks and rams a pencil into their eardrums as soon as he gets out.

"Funny" would be someone setting up the same stunt across the street and vowing to go 45 days. Humor is a grown up, acquired taste - you'll eventually learn.
