--- Quote from: jwhouk on 13 Apr 2010, 06:28 ---It seems that Angus did not learn something at his prep school:
"When hugging a member of the opposite sex, never be the first to let go."
--- End quote ---
My compulsively logical side snarkily noticed what would happen if everybody practiced that rule. If nobody's the first to let go, then the hug lasts forever.
Not that there's anything wrong with that in theory.

Heh, I noticed that too. A slight modification:
"When hugging a member of the opposite sex, the first person to let go has to be the one who needed the hug most."

So is Angus being picked up in the last 2 panels or why is she so short all of a sudden?

Uh, its just pointless for a guy to cry. Nothing good comes out of it.
--- End quote ---
What kind of reverse-sexist BS is that?
--- End quote ---
Facts are never sexist.
When a girl weeps, most of the time, every other girl in the area will run to help. Therefore they learn: weeping -> it probably gets better.
When a boy weeps, he's a social paria. In fact not even girls will move to comfort him, even less other boys. Therefore they learn: weeping -> it only gets worse.
I myself, for example, now as an adult are completely unable to weep from sadness any more.
--- Quote --- You, sir, have obviously never had a good cry.
--- End quote ---
Indeed I havent. As I just explained, there are no good crys for a boy.
--- Quote --- It can be worth it's weight in supressed emotions...
--- End quote ---
Nah, it just means you're more likely to get angry instead of sad. Probably one of the reasons men do more crimes than women.
Carl-E:
:?
That's some pretty fucked up reasoning right there. You're saying that social conditioning (external) prevents you from reacting to your emotions (internal)?
OK, maybe in public, but you've never cried in private? I'm not talking a wailing bawl, I mean something moving you (positive or negative) so much that you had tears? You can deny that too if you want, but if you're human, you're lying. Or you have malfunctioning tear ducts or something.
Or maybe you really are as repressed as you say. In that case, i think you may want to seek some help!
