A single word can say enough in certain situations… But let’s not make this thread stray from its original topic.
Ahem… Eva, I think you should consider your options. No true friend would act like that.
Yes they would, true friends can still disagree and be different, however, true friends can forgive, mend each other’s wounds and work it out.
Yes Zero, but these people dont seem to open to “working it out”.
Sometimes it’s a matter of decency. It seems your friends aren’t very considerate.
No they are not…I’ve spent the last hour being blocked and unblocked by this girl who says I am too judgemental and I think I am better than everyone else for doing so.
Outcome?I said I am going to apologize for my comments tomorrow.She wasn’t considerate enough to approach me today to talk about it, so she waited to antagonize on MSN.Whatever, it isn’t worth it, I just want it resolved.
I’m not sure if younger people are still taught this these days, but there are appropriate times and places for pretty much everything. Sure, it might get you off to get your swerve on with your interest where people can see (yes, it is sort of fun to have people see that you care for someone openly enough to demonstrate physical affection), but that doesn’t mean that it’s all hunky-dory for you to do things with that person that really belong when the two of you are alone. When I say “things”, I mean actions that you wouldn’t want your parents, your grandparents, or small children to witness you doing. Use your imagination. I’m talking about typical parents, too, not the ones that let you get away with whatever the hell you feel like doing.
For example, my boyfriend and I will hug each other in public. We’ll hold hands and hold each other in public, but not in a groping way. We’ll kiss each other in public, but rarely would it ever be one of those horribly passionate ones - that’s when I haven’t seen him for a month. 
For some people, that’s too much probably, but I think that’s a happy medium. Those are things that I have no problem with doing in front of my typical parents, and I have done them in front of my parents.
The point here is that it’s great to be able to demonstrate physical affection, but there’s a certain level of appropriateness and respect for others that should probably be followed. If you happen not to give a fuck about what other people think and will do whatever you want regardless, that’s terribly rude, but then you probably don’t care, do you?
Eva, the long and short of this is that I think you had a right as a human being to speak up about it since it bothered you - apparently being forced to watch a make-out session is a requirement your friends have established for being able to hang out with them, and that’s not right. Get what I’m saying? Also, you deserve an apology from them for the replies they had for you. Obviously they’re rude and don’t have a sense of appropriateness.

NO.
Stick to your guns.
Granted, we’re only getting your side of the story over here, but it sounds to me like you asked them to tone it down a bit in an appropriate way (i.e. not being standoffish and snidy and snippy and all “ugh, get a room” about it, and they flew off the handle…
[Armchair Psychologist] Because they are insecure about themselves and hence cannot handle criticism in a mature fashion AND feel a need to “ham it up” to prove to others that they have a loving relationship [/armchair psychologist]
…and now she’s being all petty and holding a grudge with this infantile MSN crap. YOU were right. THEY were wrong.
Of course, if you WERE foul-toned about it, then maybe you should apologize. But she still owes you one. [For the “go get a guy” line alone, esp. since you already have one.]
And by the way, if Eva is still in high school (and I’m assuming she is) “just leaving” isn’t going to work, because she’s just going to end up walking past several OTHER couples [albeit strangers] doing the exact same damn thing as her friends.

Yeah I know, I’m not trying to be all Miss Innocent here, so I do complain about people a lot, but that’s usually when it’s not my fault.What REALLY made me mad was that she brought other issues that she didn’t like about me that had nothing to do with our problem, into the situation.Things like I look down on everyone else (well, I’m not really like that, I guess I’m more mature…hopefully 
) and I don’t understand her blah blah blah.It all depends on your views I guess, for you to judge if I am right or in the wrong.

Yeah I’m finishing grade 10.Fortunately, not all students are as hormonal as these two people, and surprisingly some do act their age, and don’t get all touchy feely with one another.
But anyways today, not a foul word was passed between us.I didn’t apologize like I said on MSN, and neither did she, but things were okay.It’s just like it never happened.I waited for her to say something (because she said “Boy, I can speak my mind and I will tomorrow”) but never did.Oh well, some people just don’t have the guts I guess.
Sorc, I’m sorry if I offend you, but you are being a total ass about this.
People shouldn’t do that, affection to your significate other should be private & special…not public & indignifying.
You look realy immature, perverted, & snobby if you do those kinds of things in public. The only public signs of affection acceptable are kissing, hugging, & holding hands, everything else should be taken to the bedroom/bathroom/whereever you do it at.

Exactly. There’s always a time.
Frankly, it is rather inconsiderate. Most people don’t want to see two people all over each other in a public place. I mean privately, that’s another story. But in public… I mean, if they want to show affection in that fashion, fine. But everybody doens’t need to know about it.
Too bad Dr. Freud isn’t available to perform a psychiatric examination…

I was hardly being an ass. You people don’t seem to know me that well, just because I say something a certain way doesn’t mean I’m an ass. I say fuck and shit all the time, and I don’t do it out of anger - they are parts of my normal vocabulary.
Why shouldn’t people do that? Believe it or not, differnt people have different views on what they feel their love should be expressed. And fuck man, this is America. If you want to make out in public you can. Who are you to tell them not too? Seriously fuckwad (that was an insult, since I am now being an asshole), if it bothers you that much, go away.
Immature? Perverted? Snobby? Yea, I know what we’ve got here now - some lame ass 16 year old porn addict who can’t get over the fact that he can’t get anybody to do anything with. Yea, I bet you’ll come back and scream at me for demasking you, but quite frankly, I don’t care. You shouldn’t take out your pent up sexual frustration out on us. You’re gonna tell me I’m still immature for pulling all this out on you, well, fine, so what. What’s wrong with being immature? Or perveted, or snobby? Some people like being that way, and so what if they do?
Hell, while I’m at it, that’s the source of this entire problem. Some people like doing that sorta thing, and just because some chick asks you to stop doesn’t mean shit. Just thought I’d stay on topic here for a little bit.
Anyway, shit kid, you don’t know me at all if you think I’m immature, perveted, or snobby. Least of all snobby. I can call you an irritating little fuckhead, since that’s all I’ve ever seen you make yourself out to be, however you at least have seen me fluctuate from being one way to another.
Grow up. There is no set standard for anything at all. Certain acts aren’t contained to certain times and places, and affection is one of them.
By the way, your comic blows.
And upon further inspection, your entire website sucks. Just shut it down, its a waste of bandwidth.
And upon even FURTHER inspection, why are you linking to RPGC forums on your website? Do you foot the bill? No? Fuck off? They should sue your ass or something.

<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Amen.
ount on sorc to be blunt.
I think Frame was right when he wanted to make taht poll…
This is starting to look like a Sopranos episode… #_#
Sorc, I agree with your general point except for one thing.
There is a particular situation which such acts shouldn’t be tolerated, and that’s when you’re alone with the two of them when they’re at YOUR house when you asked them if they wanted to do something all together AND THEY ACCEPTED. With all due respect, if all they wanted to do is have sex with their clothes on, they could have just stayed home and not come to my house in order to do that. Maybe it’s more exhilerating when in public, but fuck, I won’t their goddamned public if that’s the only thing they want to see me for.
Quite frankly, I don’t give a damn. However, if I look away/walk away, I don’t want to see them get IN MY FACE about shit like this. It’s not the fact that I don’t want to let them do whatever they want, I just want the actual OPTION of walking away.
Well, thats different.
Just generally in public and hanging out together with plans - those are two different things.
What about hanging together with plans in public?
(Yes, I just wrote this to be a moron.)
