I prefer to avoid watching the news or reading the paper much of the time, but the topics still come up on the internet. I'm well aware that s**t happens, but when s**t is 90% of what I hear, I can't be bothered. It's all the same s**t, different day. It's no wonder depression is so common.
For example: Youtube comments tend to be used more like a forum or a chat. Hardcore debaters don't just reply @Username... they quote them too. Six months after the fact. Hell, if you seriously want to debate, Youtube HAS a forum, so don't fault everyone else for saying their piece and leaving. That's what you're supposed to do. Not start an argument and bait people into joining.
Anyway, back to what I was supposed to be ranting about.
So these two girls sign up for World History (at least 30% of the semester is spent watching films) as an elective. While the rest of the class is watching a movie, the girls talk through it. This goes on until the end of the semester.
Finally a classmate catches them as they're about to leave after class...
"If you didn't want to be here, why'd you sign up for this class? All you do is talk so nobody else can hear the film. Grow up."
After she says this, the two girls laugh. She leaves, only to be stopped by a 3rd girl in the hall.
"You do NOT talk to my friends like that!" She's ready to use her fists if she doesn't like what she hears. The first girl repeats her reason. "Doesn't matter." The 2nd girl is adamant
A boy's in class with his friends, while one of them is throwing orange peels at him. He asks several times for him to stop, but he doesn't. Finally he tells him tj ******** off.
After class, another boy confronts him. "Talk to him like that and I'll ******** you up!" He says.
Evidently, the 3rd parties were around long enough to hear what was said, but did they witness the initiation? Or did they just ignore it altogether?
Is it right to defend friends who had it coming?
