"Blood is thicker than water"

[InOne]

Is this a term that applies to you? Do you put your family over everything? Would would you forgive them for anything?


Discuss.

[Benjamin]

Yes.

[Josy]

Yeah I put my family before anyone else, I don't know about forgiving them anything though it depends what they had done.

[Jords]

Yeah I would unless something happened that forced me not to.

[MTVN]

Not really, aside from my parents I value my friends more than my family

[Mystic Mock]

I would risk my life for my friends and family, well at least I think I would anyway.

Erm... I think I would forgive my family for anything unless they did an horrendous crime.

[Shaun]

It has its limits, obviously. If my mother went on a genocidal rampage around ASDA with a flamethrower, like she keeps threatening, I'd hardly help her carry the shopping home.

[Kate!]

My lovely son I would lay down my life for. My mum is very precious to me also. My brother and his wife can ****.

[Marc]

I think I'd help Shaun's mum carry the shopping home, smh Shaun. Youth today, so lazy and disrespectful :rolleyes:

[Kazanne]

Family above everything for me BUT not sure I would forgive them for anything,depends what they did,some crimes are unforgivable even if commited by family.

[joeysteele]

I will answer Yes, maybe not to forgiving anything they do, it would really depend on what they did,especially as to crimes like a murder for instance.

[Marc]

Blood is thicker than water. Yes

I would never forgive anybody in my family for murder in any case other than accidential or in defence. Lying about something serious maybe, illness could probably tear a family apart of at least shaken the foundations.

[Black Dagger]

Despite the fact I have the most disfunctional family ever.

I would have put my life on the line for any of them, I love them all.

My family are my world but i do think you can have sometimes in familys where you wonder do family really matter ? :conf::conf:

Would would you forgive them for anything? - Probably not anything, would depend really

[Vicky.]

Definitely, to all except forgive them for everything. I could forgive pretty much any crime though, as long as it did not involve children.

I would put my children's lives before my own..I think most mothers. I can't imagine how I would feel if one of them were to say commit a heinous crime...it would be torturous emotionally..but I can't imagine ever not loving them..and I can't say that about anyone else. I don't think I could ever walk away from them..no matter what they did

[Jack_]

Yes. Not too sure on the forgiving side though...especially if it was something done to me, or that would seriously affect me.

Serious crimes I would of course not at all be happy about, but I think I'd try and forget, rather than forgive. I honestly don't think, no matter what, I could ever end contact with my family.

[Legend killer]

In terms of My Parents Yes other than that it depends really

[Mrluvaluva]

In most cases they would be forgiven. Depends if they were sorry for their actions or not. I don't think I could ever forgive them in such cases of crimes like cold blooded murder etc, no matter how repentant they were. When they **** other peoples lives up is pretty unforgivable in my book.

I've never been close to any of my relatives. I can't say I care about many apart from my mum and dad. I've never grown up with the family unit so think I could care what the rest of my family did.

Blood isn't thicker than water for me, my friends have stuck by me a lot more than my family have

[Patrick]

No.

[Brother Leon]

Yeah. Fam comes first. Especially Mum and Lil sis.


There is one cousin I will never speak to again though. I would probably want to stab him up If I saw him.

I can relate to that a bit InOne, some of my family as I have said on here before, I wish I was out when they came visiting.

The other valid point is that we are given a family whereas we 'choose' our friends, they as friends are people we choose to share often a lot more with than some members of family so what you say is a good point.

[Redway]

It has its restrictions but generally yes. Doesn't mean I won't argue back if they piss me off.
