It's funny how peoples view of a situation is changed when their individual position changes.

Example: Once you change from the beneficiary to the one who gets shafted, it stops being OK.

Though I don't really have a right to be angry, it still bothers me. Why didn't you try to consider the other position before? And listen to your own fucking argument. If your two friends are going to be happy, how could you want to stop it? Would it really be as bad as you say it will be? Not that it even matters any more.
