You're still contradicting yourself. Perhaps by "killed me" you mean "been unhappy with me but allowed me to do it anyway"? In my lexicon, anytime you use that slang to refer to a parent's actions towards a child, it implies at least a forcible termination of whatever behavior the parent is disapproving of. In your lexicon, is it just another alias for "disapproved"?XxJennaxX wrote:arka, if you would have read it correctly and pieced it together, you would have figured out that yes, my parents would have killed me if i would have dated someone much other than me but yet, i still would have been able to get away with it; however, i wouldn't have made such a silly decision like that at a young age.
Alternately, maybe you mean that you could have kept the knowledge from them, but in that case you still don't mean what you *said* - you mean "If my parents had found out I was dating a..."
Please don't blame me for your inability to express your own ideas clearly. I'm not your English teacher or your editor.
You're right, Spazz brought your personal life into it, and IMO he shouldn't have. (Though I can certainly understand his reasons: having someone impugn your relationship, do you now understand how Mamimi and Coty feel about your and Casey's remarks?) You, however, are perfectly free to react with "No, that is not a factor in my opinion/No, that is none of your damn business." And such a calm response is infinitely more believable than a long apologia - which, after all, most people interpret to mean that you have something to apologize for. That's been my policy when people impugn the fact that I'm single and proud, and it continues to be my policy in this thread and elsewhere.XxJennaxX wrote:anyways, im not the one that started the virginity thing. i do believe chris/spazz was the one that decided to divulge my personal business and i backed it up b/c i had nothing to lie or be ashamed about.
