I'm assuming. It's not like you can fight back. I'm guessing it will be like both sides fighting with mimi-nukes if that happens.

Supposedly, yes. That would be the most healthy reaction.

But putting theory into practice doesn't seem to go that well here, considering the people who don't.
Often, they'll say/think : "but he/she LOVES me!" Joining the train of thought that love overpowers all and that simply loving someone is enough. It's not.

Depends. There have been stories of people who got conquered with love (yeah, it does sound cheesy). Mostly it's pastors who tell them (or author's collecting hopeful stories). But they're out there, even though they're not terribly common.

Would you care to elaborate?

Tell me about it.

Something occurred to me today. In the last month or so, two acquaintances of mine have attempted suicide. Over love. Or at least that's what I'm told. And I was just sitting on my own today, drinking hot chocolate... Both of them were under twenty. Since when did relationships get so intense so young?

Well, basically I was responding to your "love conquers all" thing. I'm just saying that there have been cases of the sappy love conquers all scenarios, even if they don't occur very often.

Oh no, I wasn't questioning it!! I know a few married couples who've worked through everything...
I tip my hat to them and all that. And it makes me kind of sad to think how small the percentage of people with that much dedication to each other is...

Oh, I see what you mean by the "love conquers all" thing. I just don't think it's love alone. You need other redeeming qualities too.

As for this :

It's a tendancy of today's society that I intend to study.

There are so many people out there ready to throw their entire lives away over love. As in : love>career, love>family, love>friends, love>personnal well-being and health, love>hobbies, love>individuality.
Their lives are no longer composed of the many different things that make them who they are. They define themselves with the relationship. Or, even if all the different parts stay important, the relationship is often considered much more important.

It's when a difficulty of existing outside the relationship starts, that you might want to rethink a few things.

You know, Nina has to be one of the GREATEST debaters EVER!

Unquestionably so!

Heh, Thank you *blushes*

...*curses the lack of a cute blushing emote*

I really enjoy argumenting and the likes

Me too, usually. But your making all my points for me!! *shakes fist*

Oops, I'll try to save some for you.

Do you have any more?

Hmm... Not any really good ones.

I think the clingyness might have something to do with the fact that divorce is so widely available in Western society now (I don't mean to alienate anyone, but I only know how things work over here... and only vaguely!) Maybe once you finally have someone, you don't want to let go... You want to make it work.

Ok, reading that makes no sense to me. But all the words are moving anyways ^__^

Here's something to think about- what is love.

Love is blind, irrational, horrifying, wonderful, senseless, passionate, unforgettable, unforgivable, live-alerting, painful, disgraceful, bliss, etc.

This list can go on forever!


When I was 12 my english teacher would bring the newspaper to class and we were allowed to cut things out of it. There was this one girl who collected the thing she cut out every week. It was a picture of a man and a woman doing some sort of action. The words, "LOVE IS..." were written on top and whatever the phrase was for that day was written on the bottom.

Then I thought they were cute, now I see them as cute and idiotic. I'm such a downer sometimes.



It came out really big, even when I put in the smallest size. Ugh. I hate technology.

You have no idea how much I laughed...

And that's how you pick out the minds who run on strict innuendos.

what is love?

BABY DON'T HURT ME
DON'T HURT ME
NO MORE.

Hehehe, of course I think of A Night at the Roxbury.
