I think friendship should be more than that... for example, a good honest connection. I can think of some examples when it might be better for people to split... eg. if someone has a bad habit, and refuses to listen to her friend, then still sticking with that friend could be an indirect way of "enabling" / encouraging that bad habit.
Oh boy, we have a lot to talk about then, regarding history and law enforcement. Let me throw you a teaser:
Probably every single country was founded unethically, through violence and theft from innocent people. What gives them the right or authority to make laws? For example, would you respect the laws that a murderer forces on you?
I used to listen to Escape the Fate too... I like that mellow emo pop-punk :p. Brings out my inner-romantic.

If you put it that way I get a much more broad view of what you are saying, and I agree with you. See, with Paola, I am not so forward with her flaws, I just point them out little by little when she is doing them.
Excellent question, makes me think at 1 in the morning. Well, I would respect them yet I wouldn't. Every country had some mass murder and genocide involved, for example, Germany had its holocaust before they had the chance to pass laws against religion racism. If any of the presidents before were alive, I think there apologies weren't sincere. I think somewhat deep inside them they didn't really mean the apology of the war. I am sure they wanted that war. Honestly, I wouldn't. My answer is no, I wouldn't respect the laws of someone who has followed by them for decades. What is the point? They say freedom of speech or freedom in general, yet they prohibid us as humans to do many things. I haven't thought of it as much but it makes me angry, it's like being trapped inside a world were everyone wants to boss you around to make you do somethings and stop you from doing others. The negative side of this is that if someone tries to rebel against them, they are seen as the bad guy, and no one really looks at why they are doing it.
I am more of an indie person, you should listen to Oh!Hello and the Story So Far. (:

Are you okay with those flaws of hers, or do you think they are preventing the relationship from being better?
You should try to think about how countries get started. They seem so unnatural--you can barely get your friends/family to agree on anything--how on earth did millions of people suddenly agree to something?
That ostracizing / ridiculing of the "rebel" is also sadly natural. Maybe it served an evolutionary purpose, where breaking free from the herd probably meant you would die (from other predators, dangers in the environment, etc.) In fact, it's so powerful that I think the brain reacts the same way to social shaming/abandonment as it does when you get physically hit. (Non-sexually :).
I shall listen to that group ASAP :-).

I am perfectly fine with them, but other people would probably be rude and point them out harshly, wouldn't want her hurt.
That is the truest sentence I have read, the only idea that pops in my mind of how that could've been done was that they were being paid to agree with others.
Wouldn't want to sound stereotypical, but usually the people who go against the government are named as 'rebels.' Thinking of how the world would be without the rules followed today is actually terrifying, there would be so much freedom people wouldn't even know how to react. It would be a mental asylum outdoors, that is the only way that I could actually phrase it.
