I was bored (and obsessive), so I categorized them:
You remained quiet (or acted decent yourself) and let the other person be the fool: 4
Others being rude (includes fights), you shrug off or apologize for being rude back (or just don't react): 3
"They smelled, looked, acted different... so I hate them": 6
"Someone did bad at something, looked different, or acted different... so I was rude to them. HAHAHAHAHA": 6
"Someone acted rude to me so I acted rude back and better, that showed them!" (includes fights): 6
----------------
18 out of 25 that's a heavy majority. As you stated yourself, only a "fair few" acted decent. The worst thing is, that this being the internet, everyone can tailor the stories how they wish (or pick whatever story they have at their disposal). The 18 believed that their chosen stories were good picks as an idiot showcase... failing to realize they make themselves look worse.
"Someone did bad at something, looked different, or acted different... so I was rude to them. HAHAHAHAHA": 6
You also have to look at the age groups that are doing it. Most of the examples are constrained to the school environment. Emotions are unstable, and throwing a bunch of different people together for a couple years is bound to result in conflict eventually.
Also, you're giving the people who said violent examples a major guilt trip by imposing your own moral standards upon them, then shitting on them. That itself can be classified as the very principles you're bitching about in the first place. Namely this one:
There's one kid in my school named William, who's a generally annoying faggot with a high pitched voice who runs around trying to follow people and make jokes. Let me clarify how much he gets on people's nerves; the fourth week of school for this year just wrapped up today, and he's been beaten up by students four times. Even my math teacher told him it was pretty much his fault all this goes down when a kid punched Will in the face in the middle of class (referred puncher didn't get into any kind of trouble at all) He's like a troll, an extremely gay one who seems to enjoy the pain. And the students at the school are obliged to give out some of said pain.
Anyhoo, earlier today I got together with a friend and we hurled him off the school bleachers during gym. Fun stuff, because he's like 5'6" and weighs maybe 120 (scrawny little rat), and my friend and I are both over 6' and are STEROIDUSERSFUDGEYES. By steroid users, I of course mean we're able to actually work out without stunting our growth and therefore have ADEQUATELYVISIBLEMUSCLES.
A couple people walking the track saw him flying and stopped to cheer and piss on him. (Mentally, of course) Later that same day, as we get ready to run a half mile and everyone's stretching, he leans down to stretch and two people teabag him in the face nigh instantaneously, the second hitting him hard enough to knock him over, much to the hilarity of the surrounding students who at this age of course find anything associated with dicks funny. (and no, I sadly wasn't one of the 'teabaggers'. I feel if I ran into a guy that weak that I might snap his neck with my crotch, and I don't want to be sued for manslaughter :|)
Wow your a fucking asshole, and that pisses me the fuck off seriously. wtf is wrong with you... I wish I could be talla nd musclebound, but jsut becuase I was doesnt mean that id pick on all the smaller kids, right now im fucking 5,11" and 16lbs and everyone else is over 6 feet, how do you think I feel? :|
