Why is it that bullies get a holiday?

Not just get a holiday, but get to bully others on that holiday and everyone just accepts it.

It’s more of a problem in school, as bully problems in general are more prevalent in school. People seem to grow out of it once they reach the business world. Most of them do, anyway.

I regret that I did not write this post in time for the day this year, but consider this advance warning for next year’s occurrrence.

Picture this, as from the bully’s perspective.

“I like this particular day, and you don’t care about it. That makes you worse than me. I’m going to ask you about my people. You had better have some representation of my color on you, otherwise I am going to threaten you. No, more than that, I’m going to assault you. The only way for you to be saved from physical pain is to agree with me. Do you understand?”

I was going to say there are two types of people: those who like St. Patrick’s Day and those who don’t care. But I won’t disagree if someone wants to add a third category of people who actively dislike the day.

Me? I’m in the don’t care for it camp.

What I do dislike is being hounded by the people who do care. And pinched.

Why do you need me to participate in your holiday? Why can’t you enjoy it without my participation?

If I remember in the morning of St. Patrick’s Day, I’ll be tempted to wear blue (the original color of St. Patrick) or orange (since I’m not a Catholic) and justify it that way. I can celebrate your day, but if I do I’ll do it with the color that I want.
