How do you believe your "friends" should react in either senario?

Why did you want to see her reaction in the first place?

One less funeral to go to? hehe

Are you talking to me? lol

Great answer...

I have tried this. However even while out you can see that she still desires to have someone's attention. And she is constantly in and out of relationships with men who do not treat her well. I feel her lack of self worth is destroying her in every way. Yesterday she went back to an abusive ex. I am left angered, hurt, and sad after she tells me what happened. You know I immediately ask her why on earth did she go hang out with. Her answer cause she was feeling lonely. Anyways I do not want to get into details. The point is I feel there is nothing more I can do, I can not even listen anymore. I feel this destroys me more then it does her. I can not fathom abandoning a friend. but I feel she has abandoned herself. I am at a loss for words. I can not be strong for two. I do not know the solution. The problem is greater than Me.

I have seen it before. But as a friend I refuse to accept that I can not do anything but watch as she destroys herself. I just can not comprehend or relate as to why someone would self inflict such things. I feel as though she is not being fair to herself or the people who care about her. How can one care for someone who does not seem to care for themselves?

It works here? jk, hehe.

She has already been hurt. Physically and mentally. She does not learn. She does not change. I can not change her. But I must do more. I am a friend. What can I do? Has anyone else been in a similar situation and someone, some event, some words, some actions, or something made you change? What was it?

Now this opinion I deeply respect. However before you only mentioned terrorism, that is why I was a bit stand offish, hehe. I still disagree somewhat. These actions will not necessarily improve the terrorism situation. In my eyes the goal is to create seperation of power. Those who control oil in Iraq, have military and economic influence worldwide. "Democracy" may broaden the chances of corruption. But our chief objective is to ensure that globalization does not leave us helpless and economically unstable in the hands of someone, some nation, or some group.

The problem: My friend's self destructive need to want a significant "someone", "anyone" in her life. The solution: Unknown. The question: What can I do?

Are you talking to me?

At no point did I call you ignorant.

Im not anti-war. Im anti people thinking the war is about terrorism.

It may also be another country where children are taught to hate and resent the U.S. Especially when they uncover the truth as to what happened. You know it will be impossible to hide the fact that half of the globe opposed the war, that half of the U.S. opposed the war, and that nearly everyone believed it was about Oil. The truth of the matter is that the possibilities are endless, I just wish people kept this in mind. Ignorance is not bliss. You must acknowledge that the future is unknown. Win or lose, the impact the war has on the world is unknown.

Is any war just and legitimate? Has the entire world ever agreed on any war to be just and legitimate? Never in history has a war been so powerfully opposed because never in history has there been so much media coverage all over the world. Proof? All the proof I need is the simple fact that people in Iraq with money and influence have political ties and are wealthy because of one thing. This is why we're at war.

This war is not about ending terrorism. And if you think it is, your very misinformed. If you think it will bring an end to it, your dead wrong.

lol, actually I'm quite conservative.

I'm kidding. Trying to lighten up this back and forth bickering in this thread. If I tried to pee on someone I would probably get more on myself. yuck.

I think it is more disturbing that there haven't been any gun shot wounds found as of yet. It makes you wonder what exactly was done to her, or what did she go through to be in such a bad condition. To the point that she had to undergo surgery to try and bring back sensation to her feet. It is very sad she may be in fact paralyzed.

We can all grab a drink at any French spot in the city. They arent as busy as they used to be for some reason, lol.

He was not. Who the hell said he was?
