What is that old saying? Oh yeah, “People who live in glass houses, shouldn’t throw stones!” I have taken the high road until now! I do not lie, I do not play games and I most certainly do not choose to engage with high school behaviour. Unfortunately, there are a few of you who chose to act as children, and not the adults that you are supposed to be. I won’t disrupt our already dysfunctional environment, however, be careful…your skeletons may start to show with each chip you make in that glass.
You may judge me, so be it! I don’t really care what you think. I know the truth and that is all that matters.
There is a reason why you don’t truly know me, and never will. I choose my friends by quality….and you seriously, DO NOT make the cut. -Tired of the immature attitudes and actions….GROW UP!

Well have fun sitting in your glass house, trying not to break anything while you watch the grass grow because you’re “mature” have fun with your lame ass life.
I’m gonna go do the high school thing and get drunk and drive go karts, BUH BYE!!!
Because bitching anonymously on the internetz is the pinnacle of maturity.
I get that your mad though… that’s why it’s much easier to have no friends.

Somewhere between you, OB and your bitchee, lies the truth…
People who live in glass houses should change in the basement!
You don’t play games? Not even crazy eights? Lame!

THE TRUTH
“You may judge me, so be it! I really don’t care what you think. I know the truth and that is all that matters.” Tired of the immature attitudes and actions .. GROW UP
But what is the “truth” of which Tired speaks? Does the truth consist of view that the commenters on Bitch play games and engage in high school behaviour? But the claim needs evidential support. What is required is some substantiation of the claim. In other words, Tired should explicate just what is to be understood by playing games and indulging in high school behaviour which, one assumes, give evidence of immaturity. Without some such account Tired’s bitch sinks to the level of, well, playing games and indulging in high school behaviour with the consequence that the truth which Tired claims to possess loses both content and credibility. So where to start?
Tired must start at the beginning. Since playing games and engaging in high school behaviour presupposes immaturity, Tired must start by giving an account of such immaturity. What is it to be immature? What does the thing look like?
To be immature is the obverse of being mature, of possessing “complete natural development with fully developed powers of body and mind.” (The Concise Oxford Dictionary) So, the question devolves into Tired’s laying down the criteria of what such complete natural development would consist. How would he respond to the demand? What criteria would he advance?
Entailed in such an account, of course, is further question as to whether such complete natural development is culture-specific or in some sense transcultural. Would the Bushman’s complete natural development, as in the second case, be readily seen as identical or at least roughly equivalent in the relevant respects to the inhabitant of Spryfield? Or would there be a disjunction between the two concepts such that the completely developed Bushman would not be identical or even roughly equivalent to his Spryfield counterpart? Would the rich culture of Spryfield, in other words, leave the Bushman far behind?
The idea is to start with a stipulated or provisional definition of maturity and, once done, then go on to cite specific examples which embody that definition. Only then will Tired’s claim to possess the truth have persuasive efficacy. We all wish Tired every success in his new endeavour.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
I understand where you are coming from.. and I hate reading these comments because everyone just seems like an ass.. I personally have a hard time dealing with other peoples bs.. and I agree.. friends should be based on the quality they bring to your life (and you bring to theirs) and not the drama! And there isn`t anything boring about acting mature..
Missj. I agree.If you hurt a friend/loved one be upfront,honest and don’t play games.If you hurt someone, apologize.If your dealing with a reasonable adult they will forget (depending on how badly you hurt them) and forgive….Unconditional love between two unrelated adults(ie-a love between a parent and child) is rare but it can and does exist.It‘s that Love that is worth fighting for.
Usually the adults that act like children, I see on TV Saturday nights on ‘COPS’.
Metaphor much?
