Amy, Ashley and I answered on the assumption that the brother's criticisms were largely unfounded, but you're right that, taken alone, "If you continue to make these choices..." doesn't really sound like a glib put-down at all.Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474136335611800466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150699647741228288.post-69777154919339270942010-08-17T11:21:03.740-04:002010-08-17T11:21:03.740-04:00Maybe she should stop being such a lazy waste of s...Maybe she should stop being such a lazy waste of space. Big brothers rule!<br /><br />Also, there seems to be a wide disparity in hurtful words here. <br /><br />From: "You're lazy." <br /><br />To: "If you continue to make these choices then you probably won't have the greatest path you can have in life."<br /><br />To me the first seems like an off-handed insult about why she sucks so hard, the second seems to have some genuine concern to it, though it may be a little harshly worded - especially if her current choices are along the lines of blowing or snorting everything she can get her hands on.Darnellnoreply@blogger.com
