I would absolutely support someone if I thought they were getting unfair treatment. I am not a fan of bad mouthing people behind their backs.
Yes, I would defend that person. I am beyond that teenage way of thinking that I have to "go along to get along". Nowadays I am willing to express my point of view on things, and maybe persuade others to see things from a different perspective.
No question about it....I detest pipples bad mouthing pipples who aren't there to defend themselves...
There's always 2 sides to a story.
I definitely would defend that person and try to explain why I think that the unfair treatment is unjust.
Been there, and did just that.
Yes, I would do it. Did it the other night.
Did you ever play that game as a kid where you whispered something in a classmate's ear and by the time it went around the room it was totally different? I've seen gossip destroy people who more often than not were innocent. I agree with drmck, even if there is a thread of truth to it, LEAVE IT ALONE.
yeah i would.
I am more enthusiastic about these things if I have had a little to drink. Does that answer your question.
