What is a friend?

[mandisma]

Is it someone you can say "I murdered someone" and they would be with you, (not literally) or someone who is a 'fair weather' friend who would drop you like a brick????

[Buenchico]

Throughout the whole of my life, there have only ever been a few people whom I would regard as 'friends' (rather than just people I get along with). For me, a friend not only has to support you when you've murdered someone, they have to help you to bury the body as well!

I agree matey

[welshlibranr]

If you have true friend,they will stick with you through thick and thin!......I know, I have one!......

Ah, but it does depend on why they murdered them Chris.

[mandisma]

true saying, you can count 'em on one hand eh?

[stokemaveric]

just someone who can trust 100% and confide in...with the knowledge that it wont go any further...someone who is always there for you,someone you can talk to and share your troubles with...and that they know that you are there for them as well...

I attempted to answer this, then realised I had conflicting ideas about whether I'd stand by a murderer in my family (or who was a close friend) or wouldn't. I have to give it some more thought, but the immediate response is that I wouldn't stand up for them.

[mandisma]

That was metaphorically speaking Claire A

It depends on who they murdered mandisma, if it was a dirty rotten scumbag, then I'd keep my mouth shut, but if it was a innocent! then I think I'd have to shop you.
Have you got a confessions to make mandisma?

[mandisma]

No , not at all soaps, just reiterating the meaning of a proper friend

My oh and I have a friend who once turned up at our house in a right state. He was crying and rambling like you wouldn't believe. We really thought he had murdered someone and was wanting help in hiding the body or something.... it turned out he had actually been caught in a compromising position with his girlfriend's mum (by the girlfriend's dad).
