As a rule, I try stay well out of arguments between mutual friends. Generally though, its between girls and the whole thing plays out like an episode of the OC, except nobody throws a punch and there is no funny Jewish guy. The whole thing blows over in a week and everyone is friends again. Well ... mostly.
Not all cunt acts involve a ping pong ballI go all Switzerland and I hear both sides of the story (not by choice), find the whole thing incredibly stupid and pointless and don't choose a side. Its basically just this huge bitch session and once its out of their system the drama is forgotten. Its a bit like World War I, which was started when the Archduke of Austria was accused of having an affair with his 17-year-old secretary named Jacqueline (although some historians disagree). Everyone choose a side, shit went all out and millions died.
Like a world war a big fight between ex-mates ends up being completely pyrrhic because people get caught up in the emotion of it and the whole thing becomes this self perpetuating drama. Some cunt acts a cunt, someone else finds out and reacts like a cunt, the original cunt gets all offended and takes it up with them, a third cunt hears about it and defends the second cunt, the original cunt has told some other cunts parts of the story and so has the second.
Someone who doesn't really care like me comes along. Theres a choice of sides, but in the end its like choosing between an Acupuncture session and going to the Annual General Meeting of the Mitsubishi Evo Drivers Club. Whichever way you go you are going to be stuck in a room full of pricks.
So I stay the fuck out of it. Not because I don't like drama, I love that shit. I watch from the sidelines because I don't like hypocrisy. Example, accusing a housemate of being dishonest and backstabbing based on what you read through all his MSN logs. Ok, there is no defending the guy who was being a cunt in the first place but you just gave up your high horse right there. You're dumped on bump stops. Its a low act that puts you at the same ride height as lying or bagging mates and ballpark with ANYTHING else you can name. There is no driveway you can navigate out from there.
