Anti-cyberbullying legislation
Because DAMN the rights of humans and the constitution, WE HAVE MIDDLE CLASS WHITE GIRLS TO PROTECT!

What about racial minorities who are ridiculed on the basis of their race?
What about gay people who are harrassed for their sexual orientation?
What about middle-class white boys who aren't alpha males, heck?
Because as a whole we're terrible people.
There's also the whole combination of being privileged AND self-loathing and having little to no culture that I find nauseating as well. Plus there's the whole "WAHH MY PARENTS DON'T UNDERSTAND ME" shit that every middle class white kid goes through.
EDIT:
1. Deal with it.
2. Deal with it.
3. Deal with it.
4. Deal with it.
If you can't laugh off someone (or at the very least block them) who doesn't like you online, you have no place being online.
But the internet seems to think that Middle Class White People are the cause of all of today's problems.
Less money spent on bad food, more money saved for the future.

Haters gonna hate
What about gay people who are harrassed for their sexual orientation?
Gay is the problem. If they were bisexual then they would only get 1/3 of the ridicule they get for their monosexuality.

man up.
Because complaining and dealing with it can be done simultaneously.
And humanity as a whole is too dumb to realize that "deal with it" is an option.
willingness to stand and let people say things with which we disagree,
and which do weary us considerably.
for free speech but object to their being "pushed to an extreme", not
seeing that unless the reasons are good for an extreme case, they are
not good for any case.
speech and press were coupled in a single guaranty with the rights of
the people peaceably to assemble and to petition for redress of
grievances. All these, though not identical, are inseparable. They are
cognate rights, and therefore are united in the First Article's
assurance.
"Dealing with it by not trying to take away my rights, I mean."
Damn, I hate Internet libertarians.
"If you can't laugh off someone (or at the very least block them) who doesn't like you online, you have no place being online."

For one thing, you think bullies only do things as single units? There's a reason they are often seen with at least two dim-witted accomplices in fiction, and that's not even getting into the bystander effect.
The end.
Byssy, please. It takes a couple of clicks to permanently block someone from your facebook or email account. And if you do let them post shit on your wall, eventually they'll get bored and wander off, and that's if you haven't reported their account for harassment already.
This isn't real life, where standing up to bullies carries the possibility of physical harm. This shit is simple.
And what a life. Constantly needing to block people on the Internet, thus living in fear of them harassing you for being different.
You talk about rights. So what precious rights of yours are being violated by this legislation? Do you even consider the victims' rights to be free of a hostile environment?
And tell me, where in the Constitution does it state that you have the right not to be made fun of?
Oh, yeah, now I remember: the right to freedom of speech shall not be infringed.
And if you have problems clicking that little "X" button on some idiot's comment every so often, then maybe you should reconsider having a facebook account in the first place. Certainly, the agony of having to click MULTIPLE TIMES to block someone is too high a price to pay for you to play Farmville.
"the victim can be free of it. by avoiding such a situation or doing somthing about it"
My patience is growing thin.
They are not free, but controlled by the situation if they have to consciously avoid it. As for doing something about it, a major tactic of psychological bullying is that the victim is coerced against calling out for help, especially when the bystander effect is factored in.
