--- Quote from: someone on 07 Jun 2013, 08:31 ---So the kid wants to hang out with Faye and didn't come over to see Dora. I guess Jacques has his limits. Dora was giving her a mom look. If she was to continue acting all tough and disciplinary with the kid, instructing her on responsibility, we would inevitably heard this retort: Then why does my dad say your girlfriend has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, works when she wants to, gets stoned on the job, has group sex in her dorm, then chases after her employee's ex-girlfriend like a starving, horny vulture with some cheesy line that "I admire the woman you are..." What does my dad mean when he says "Sam, you will see in your life that people with issues are attracted to people with issues. It’s much safer to play with a girl that makes real swords than one that is emotionally like a grenade."

:psyduck:
I don't really think that the Dora/Tai relationship is quite like that, and I don't really think that Jim would talk to about Dora like that.
Not to mention the fact that Faye is hardly the model of emotional stability

--- Quote from: techkid on 07 Jun 2013, 04:54 ---Faye also seems to be siding with Dora on this, and probably took a more responsible approach. Teenagers do rebel against authority figures (not all, or at least not all the time), and as anyone soon learns, being told "NO" without reason, explanation or even talking about it is pretty rude, and makes you ask yourself the question "why not?". By distracting Sam with something cool ("SWORDS!"), and then discussing the issue with her, would get Sam thinking about things like honesty and openness.
--- End quote ---
I see what you're saying, but I don't think it's completely accurate for this situation. Sam already knows the "why not?" aspects of this.
"Why not?"
-Because your dad doesn't know where you are
-Because you lied to your dad before you came here
-Because you lied to us.
-Because you need to check with us first
-Because we're not a babysitting service.
Maybe Faye's approach is a better method for getting through to Sam, but this still lets Sam essentially lie to her father and get away with it. again, not a good precedent to set.

Does Jim even know Tai? Or what she said to Dora in a private conversation?
Loki:
I am almost sure he does not.
Also, I had not expected anyone to be soo... polarized... about Tai.

Nothing they stated was a falsehood.
It all depends on how you look at things.
Really it is just what kind of light you shine on the subject and how you filter what you see.
I don't look at the relationship through rose colored lenses and there will be issues and drama resulting from any number of character flaws from either one.
I also try and avoid use polarized lighting when trying to look at things from all angles but I still get such a crick in the neck. :-D
