Don't help them unless they're in danger. It's best that people get their asses kicked when they're in the wrong, it's how we learn. If people are allowed to keep doing the wrong things and get saved by their mates then they won't learn.

OK... you all now seem to have a stereotypical image that my friends are complete wankers basically!!! You have over exagerated. When i say stupid reasons i mean like someone looking at their woman, but maybe to them that is a threat. What would you do if someone constantly stared you out and looked as if they thought they could have you but you know that is not possible. I would avoid this situation.. have done... have only started a fight once in my life.

hey there why is this subject important to you Imean everyone expresses there feelings different. I think you should not defend them. I know what you are trying to say and I respect that. I really like what you wrote about peer pressure and you are right and also on the bully stuff. Have you ever been through peer pressure if you do not mind me asking, or have you been a bully. oh I am not a dude I am young beautiful girl Bye now |

Firstly, Thai Bri, in my opinion you are the moron - don't be so opinionated, jump to conclusions and don't judge someone before you know them. Watch out because if you contiune the way you are you won't get very far. My stereotypical image of you is that you are an egoistic, up-yourself,
, self-contained and basically pathetic ****! (do you like it if i throw it back in your face? or are you too 'good' to take an insult from someone!?) or am i jumping to conclusions like you???!Secondly, hi mysticdragon, you sound like a nice lady. With a clear perspective and a conscience! And a reason to reply that is not trying to make yourself sound cool and hard in front of anyone!!!!! By the way Thai Bri, i aint got nufin 2 prove n i am not scared of no1. Have i ever been through peer pressure or have i been a bully? To tell you the TRUTH, i would say both in a number of circumstances. Take it ez |

At the risk of sounding "preachy", I say that the answer to your question is dependent on your moral/ value standards. Your morals/values determine what actions you feel are "right" vs. "wrong". Therefore, if you value friendship/loyalty above all else, you will defend your friends at all costs. However, if you value justice above all else, you will do the opposite. The tricky part is that many people value both of these highly, thus creating a moral dilemma in situations such as these.
For example, lets look at the Jayson Williams trial. According to accounts of Williams' friends, he tried to coerce them into helping him cover-up the murder. They actually complied for a little bit until they came to their senses. I fault Williams for this as he forced his "friends" into the moral dilemma of choosing justice over friendship. |
