Use the term "STFU." It sounds like something only someone uneducated, low class and rude would say (or write).

Really? What kind of people would ask such a ridiculous question?

I do not want to define/categorize people I can't be friends with. At least I'd give it a try, even if I sense this may not work out. It takes time, but sometimes you find an amazing quality hidden underneath the surface.

Uh oh I do this a lot. Does it really annoy people? We just have that kind of repertoire in our relationship... We still are very close and love each other.


yes it really does annoy people. you say you are close and love each other, but you clearly don't like each other. leave the arguing at home.



Well we don't really argue... Just that if he or I say something misinformed the other will say,"actually sweetie, we have a down alternative pillows". Or "well that bill only got passed because the republicans just pretended to count..." etc
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.


You sound unbearable and I almost puked reading this.

If you buy an expensive wine, would you not share it with your friends? And if you were going to, wouldn't you check with said friends before ordering it?

If not, how selfish....I wouldn't want to be friends with you!




Oh geez, the pp is most likely trying not to burden her friends, not be selfish.

I can't be friends with anyone who believes the Earth is 6,000 years (more or less) old, or who think humans and dinosaurs lived together ever.

Agreed. I lost a sibling and it destroyed my mother. I almost threw up when I read that crazy comment on the Glove Part/Freckles thread.


+2 I grew up with dogs and have two, am a volunteer at an animal shelter, and give to animal charities, but I will never feel the same heartbreak for them that I would feel for my child.
