[QUOTE="ThisIsOurTime, post: 2685369, member: 5887"] Nobody thinks the guy acted appropriately. The difference in doing things in person is far less people would be inconvenienced. It also gives the decency of closure to the other person. How would you want to be treated? I was moved by your other post about not making excuses but then you are making possible excuses for her bad behavior here. An adult breaks up with people in person. That is the standard we should be teaching young men and women. The fact that she might have been afraid of doing it for whatever reasons, doesn't preclude her from acting like an adult. Frankly, young people need to do these things as part of their personal growth and development. This is something people need to learn to do when they are young so they can be able to better tackle more serious problems as they get older. We are not helping our society by shielding young women from these things. If we are going to pretend that men and women are equals; then, we need to hold women morally responsible for their bad acts just as we do men. Several people have used this judging by his behavior line but this is really a diversion argument. We have no idea about his prior behavior. We only know he had a freak out after a breakup. Frankly, a lot of young people don't handle breakups well but that doesn't mean they are bad kids or even had bad behavior previously. This he was asking for it stuff sounds a whole lot like attacking a woman who was raped because of the length of her dress which we all here would not support. But when it comes to a man... Bottom line is as a society we should demand a basic decency out of people and this young lady failed that basic decency when she didn't break up in person. We are responsible for our actions and our actions do impact other people. I wonder how many times something more serious happened as a result of people not extending basic decencies to each other? Or also how many times something more serious was avoided because people took the time to do what is right and not what was simply convenient and easy? [/QUOTE]
