Tell Me, Would You Kill to Prove You’re Right?

          It surprises me how intense people become to try and prove that what they know is right. Last night when I was trying to sleep my roommates decided to begin a deep discussion about one of the most useless topics in the world. There were 4 guys discussing this, two brothers and two friends. Of course they were doing this loudly as I was trying to sleep. I am beginning to think that is their favorite time to have heated discussions; while I slumber. Let me tell you how it all began:

          A group of girls had just left, one of them brought up the subject of asking one of them out. After they left this is what started the discussion. One of them asked if he would pay if a girl asked him out. He said “no” (which I agree because if she does the asking she should do the planning of the date and paying) when one of the brothers started calling him a jerk for not being a gentleman. It got heated at that point. They argued this for such a long time! Then they started talking about opening doors for girls, I do not know how this got into the subject but it did.

          After arguing for quite a while one of the brothers then said “The prophet has said that we should pay for the date.” That is what started the talk of church doctrine on the subject. It was like listening to a Mormon missionary try to teach Buddhism without ever meeting a Buddhist. They were making up things all over the place. You know the phrase “Grandma is rolling over in her grave” that was me in my bed last night. They were driving me insane. All my theories about how false church doctrine is started were used last night in their discussion. They twisted quotes from prophets, made up examples that made no connection to what was being discussed. The most horrible thing about this entire thing is that they were yelling! I could not sleep, and one of the brothers was getting so intense in getting his point across that I thought I was going to wake up to the police in my apartment cleaning up body parts because they had killed each other. I have never liked the idea of anyone forcing their ideas onto anyone. This one particular roommate is that type of person. Last night I saw that he was almost ready to kill because someone else would allow a girl to pay for dinner. He seems to control this entire apartment. If the temperature is too warm he freaks out, if you’re in the shower too long he freaks out, if something does not go his way he freaks out. I would not be surprised if her kills someone or hurts them badly to get his point across. If something happens that he does not agree with he becomes an angry individual. His ideas and opinions are law, if you have a problem with it you can leave. This is one reason I do ask them to do anything, because I am nervous he will freak out.

          Thank you all for listening to me complain. I just think that I need to tell someone how angry this guy is just case I die from an outburst or something. Just watch out for all the weirdly crazy people who are angry like this guy. Sadly most of them own guns because they are farmers and hunters.

          P.S. eventually I texted one of them this: “I’m too exhausted to move. Please continue this worthless conversation tomorrow!” shortly after they all went to bed. And I finally got to sleep.
