Title: What lengths would you go to for a friend?
Post by: The Claw on July 10, 2001, 03:54:00 pm: Just wondering.
Recently I've been playing a kinda match maker between the only woman I have ever had really deep feelings for and one of my friends just so they could be happy...
I've also said to a loada my friends that if a joint endeveur of ours goes tits up, I'll take the rap for it (prob means I get expelled from 6th form but that is irrelevent).
I'm just wondering, what lengths would other ppl go to to help a friend?

Hm... Like they said. Depends on the friend.

I have alot of friends who are assholes, and some true good friends. It really depends on which one it was...

Post by: Anon on July 10, 2001, 09:18:00 pm: I'd have to say that it depends on my mood. I have severe mood swings and can be all happy and nice one minute and attacking you with a television the next. But generally I'd go to any lengths to help or protect a friend as long as they deserved it. If they'd just gunned down six old ladies, **** em but anything short of rape, murder or kidnapping and I'd do anything for them, even if they were only a casual aquiantaince.

I don't like people associated with me being made to look bad.

Post by: Setekh on July 10, 2001, 11:43:00 pm: You seem like a good guy. But you need a friend who will give you due credit. Which, by the sounds of it, is a lot.

Post by: Daedalus on July 10, 2001, 11:52:00 pm: Giving your girl away? Now THAT's ANY length. I give you props on that one Claw. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Actually, I'm generally a really nice person, and I'd go just about any length to really help out a friend. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Well, maybe not ANY length, but definately out of my way. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

As for the other thing, never take the rap for anything - otherwise you'll just get taken advantage of.

Post by: wEvil on July 11, 2001, 08:02:00 am: I'd help a friend any way i could, but would stop as soon as they became a drain on my resources (I.E, asked for more than 2 cigs, started abusing things without reciprocating)

Post by: Styxx on July 11, 2001, 08:47:00 am: The friend:
When a friend gets into a fight, he tries to stop it.

The true friend:
When a friend gets into a fight, he drinks one last beer, jumps in, beats everyone down (including his friend), and gets beaten more than anyone else. Then he gets his friend, and beats him down again for getting into the fight.

I'm more of the second kind. If the guy's a real friend. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

But those friends that are assholes, aren't friends... they are just assholes (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I have really few real life(not internet (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)) friends, five or six is enough for me... the rest is just coleagues... It is much better that way, because those five friends are always willing to help you and vice-versa, the coleagues are just for fancy stuff and time hanging (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Post by: Stryke 9 on July 11, 2001, 05:21:00 pm: I would go exactly four feet for one. Provided I didn't have to do anything after that.

But seriously- I don't know. I live way out in the middle of nowhere, where the populations is about 1 old lady to 400 cats, and nobody else. So all but one of the friends I make are on the few short trips when I get outta the house, and I don't manage to keep in touch afterwards. Most of these friends- I wouldn't screw with their minds, and that's about it. Of course, I might do all these other things you mentioned, since I don't have any personal opposition to any of them, but only if I knew I wasn't just getting screwed by some guy I knew, even unintentionally, and had some kinda personal compulsion to do so as well- bump off some real ******* we both knew and who was, say, extorting money from my friend, somethiung like that. The only thing I wouldn't do for friend or girlfriend is give up doing what I do best- the Revolution.

Post by: The Claw on July 11, 2001, 06:02:00 pm: Well, the guy I'm on about probably knows I like her, but... he's him... He aint exactly the best of my friends, but I don't know him that well.
By the way, don't worry about me being taken advantage of, never happens. I seem to have a knack for wondering into the line of fire way before anyone pushes me there (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Title: What lengths would you go to for a friend?
Post by: Snipes on July 11, 2001, 07:57:00 pm: Well, Raven, yeah you are right. I have about 4 or 5 real friends off line who would really do stuff with/for me... The rest just are people to joke with/about and really have no serious bond with.

And I made 1000 posts, look at my fancy new title (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)

Post by: Stryke 9 on July 13, 2001, 10:35:00 am: Damn, did I really write that thing? Gotta lay off the space crack... It has always seemed to me that friendship should be a matter of mutual convienience, but naturally if you didn't want to do this you wouldn't have started in the first place.

Very true but there are those of us that try to go against the grain.
