..hmm, so in a group situation in something like a playground..the group sitting around and mocking people’s appearance/calling names/insulting an individual and the rest of the group smiling or just sitting there and being part of it is the same thing and on the same level as someone letting off steam to a friend or ‘confidante’ about what they think about that group of people for what they’re doing and how they make people feel with their ‘honesty’....in that playground situation, no it wouldn’t be at all and nor should it.....most people 'bitch' but most people don't think they have the right to insult people to their faces with such arrogance and disregard for anyone's feelings ....
