coward- A person who lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things.

---------------------------------------

The act of bullying can be cowardly. Some bullies pick on those they perceive to be weaker than themselves. You claimed that all bullies are cowards. That is the statement you made that I said is not true. It's completely irrational and defies reason.

So every single person who is a bully "is not brave or courageous"? Every person who is a bully "lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things"?

If even one bully on the planet isn't "a coward", then you're wrong and all bullies aren't cowards. Also, I'm not interested in trying to quantify how many bullies are cowards. It may be most bullies, it may be 50%, it may be 20%. Regardless, it certainly is not 100%.

Your statement is wrong.
And you are being silly and pedantic but I'll give you a better dictionary definition from the Oxford Dictionary:

Bully -- Pronunciation: /ˈbʊli /
NOUN (plural bullies)

A person who uses strength or influence to harm or intimidate those who are weaker:

Now, using logic, just the very act of influencing, harming or intimidating those who are weaker cannot ever, under any circumstances, be construed as the act of anything but a coward.

No brave heroic man would ever even contemplate bullying someone weaker than themselves, and even if a man was courageous enough to carry out 10,000 heroic deeds, if that man just once bullied someone, then - in my humble opinion - he is a coward.

You carry on being deliberately antagonistic and silly and pedantic, and good luck with it.

May the cosmos envelope you in a protective cloak of stardust and may Gary's love illuminate your darkest thoughts, lift your sagging spirit, and unveil your eyes to the eternal truth that is brotherly love and friendship. Peace and love be yours.

Gary is for:
Gentlemen Always Respect You
