Why do people believe that they are self righteous enough to impose their morals upon others. If you have a 'friend' that is doing something that you do not think they should, is punishing them by not allowing them to be around really make them stop? What's more, does that show them how good a friend you are? :confused:
If you are 'friends' with something who believes and does differantly than you, a real friend would be there no matter what. Even if that means standing by them just to make sure they are okay. I do not mean that you must participate in everything your friends do. After all, we all have our hang ups so why should someone judge another. That would be like one thief telling off another because of what he stole.
Now, if your opinion is to judge and decide who you hang around based on your morals then do you alienate the person in quiestion until their actions change. Cause if so..... fuck you :mfinger: for being so narrow minded and two faced. I would not even value you to build a fire with. Who needs someone who only wants to be around when it is good for them. No friend is good unless they stick through thick and thin. Who needs fair weather friends.
 
I totally feel you. I mean, I think people should tell their friends what they think of their decisions, but if you don't agree with them, that's not a reason to stop being their friend -- within reason. I mean if they're going around committing hate crimes or something it's a different story, but I myself wouldn't be friends with that person in the first place...
 
Actually friends DO have to speak their mind, which is not imposing values, but making judgments. If my friends were to suddenly want to deal drugs, shoot cops, and go wild, I would certainly not hang with them. Morals are good. You should find friends who share your morals for the most part. It's OK to hang with someone a little less moral than you, hell I'm not perfect, but sometimes you gotta speak up when you think a friend is going to fuck up badly. At least warn them.

Excusing your friends actions simply because they are your friend, is bullshit. If you wouldn't put up with it in other, you shouldn't have to put up with it from "friends." Trying to help your friends out sometimes involves being honest with them, especially when they start to go all evil.
