I don't care how thick or stupid you are, you'd remember something like that. [View all]

Mea Culpa: I was a big strong kid from early grade school on. Played multiple sports and hung around with kids that did the same. In middle school there was a boy classmate that was slightly built, not athletic, and he had a pretty sarcastic personality so he used to get hassled a lot. One day myself and some others took things too far and caused him some great humiliation. Nothing physically damaging, but I'm sure it caused him a great deal of physiological trauma. We got in a small amount of trouble for it, had to apologize, but nothing serious. It did stay in my mind though, and years later when I ran into him at a High School reunion I pulled him aside and apologized as an adult and asked him to forgive me for bullying him.

I tell this story not to unburden myself, I have already made peace with my bullying victim, but to say that even after acknowledging the wrong and apologizing for it, I still remember it because you see the act traumatized me too. It's an anti-social human behavior to bully others, and I believe that anyone who ever acted in such a way would have it imprinted upon them too. I never bullied anyone after that incident and have defended others when I saw them being bullied.

For Mitt Romney to say that he doesn't remember it absurd and an out right lie. He remembers it, how could he not? Telling somebody they have a stupid haircut is a form of bullying, but it comes nowhere near the trauma factor of holding someone down against their will and cutting their hair as the cry for help. If he was able to block that out of his memory, he's more than a liar and a bully, he's a psychopathic monster.
