well, dear, that is not as unrealistic as it might seem. 
maybe the fact that i _dont_ live in a fantasy world makes me see that
dylan is a complete jerk and not a moody-but-basically-sweet-guy.
the world i have chosen to live in is a world made up of my friends and 
]family and other people who do care, dont judge, and are fairly trustworthy. 
once in a while someone screws someone over, and i am reminded that we do live
 in an aweful world. but i also realize that while the majority of ppl do fit
your view of life, i dont have to be like them or around them. and, no, my life is not based in judeo christian ethics, and i really resent you implying that. but then again, the coven might get a laugh. ;)
whats strange is that people constantly call me a cynic.

whsat friends? kelly and dylan? hah!
i dont really consider what she did in paris `cheating', but so be it. does 
that mean youre pissed at dylan for what he did, too? no? double standard, eh?
smoking? so what? lotsa ppl her `age' smoke--- most of my friends did at that 
age. geez, at that age most ppl smoke illegal things. thats not enough to 
label someone as a bitch, at least not in my opinion.
dressing and wearing makeup like a bimbo?
damn, she dreeses and wears makeup like everyone else on the show! why is it 
ok for kelly to dress like a slut, but not brenda?

it was implied to me that she was the school slut. majorly. but there is no
definate number, so i wont argue anything.

but you just said she wasnt a slut?!

she was wrong. but your reply does not explain why brenda deserved it.

>Kelly never did anything to hurt Brenda, but she did compromise her

hooo, boy! you sure have a strange definition of hurt!

>integrity some, but then again she tried to be a good friend to Brenda,

by screwing her boyfriend? i once had a `friend' like that. once.

so, an im sorry makes it all go away? the girl hasnt even stopped, look at
the coming attractions. SLIME!

>I would trust anyone.
my, you are a cynic, arent you. or, as i said before, do you make special
allowances for the goodlooking people?

no, 2 wrongs dont make a right. but brenda did not deserve this from them.

>Dylan, now that's a different story.

yes. he saw, repeatdly, his girlfriends best friend. took her on a camping
trip. look, at the very least this shows that he is dumb. dont sh*t where you
eat, remember?
he set the two friends against each other, used a good friend of his, and 
screwed over his girlfriend solely to get rocks off.
christ, the boy didnt even let the taste of brenda's goodbye kiss leave his 
lip before frenching kelly.
slime.
