Yes it is a personal conviction but Connie herself say she didn't want to date the guy any longer and went they alone to tell him... After work I might add, to his club house... maybe I'm reading to much in to this, but I've seen the other side of these sore a thing... where things ended a lot worse... (I know I'm reading way to much in to this but... it's aways bugged me.)
I also understand the writers point of view, they can't make every thing to perfect to be true. They have to make they character humane, so they have to fall some times, because we all fall. It make a character more relatable. I understand this. I also understand I have my lines draw on the right wing of things... I was just saying they made my stomach turn with this episode.
What is forever..? I shall see you again. Just after the mist has faded and time has stopped, over on the other side. Enjoy your journey and I'll enjoy mine.
Once again, I frankly see very little problem with your example, Ninja. I don't believe it really matters what could've happened. It matters what did happen. And the truth is, nothing happened. Besides, what should Connie have done, taken her mom with her? She had to confront Jeff and tell him she couldn't go out with him, and, since it's quite a personal conversation, it would make more sense to do it alone.

Well yes, but I still think it would have been handled better if she had met him for dinner or something. Not in his shack, and I never said anyone they knew had to be there, (like her mom... honestly that wouldn't have help at all, because her mom liked the guy and wasn't saved, if I remember correctly.) Just a public setting. Yes nothing ever happens in Odyssey, but kids are learning life lessons from Odyssey. Personally think they should apply to real life and to Odyssey, as much as they can. But since nothing really happened they didn't have to touch a touchy subject, but in real life things do happen. So maybe I'm just to motherly when it comes to these things, I just don't enjoy people getting hurt on account of they own stupidity and ignorance.

It seems we're all about as close to agreeing as we're going to come. Thank you for starting this topic, Jason, and actually keeping it going with your replies. (Wish I did that with my topics more often. Sigh.) Mr. Thinker made me, ah, think, as ever. And Vic returned to make some posts, oh yea! And even Ben Warren popped in. And all sorts of new members, and the admins, all milled around. It's been the first topic we've had like this in months... and months. So again, thank you Jason!
But all things must end. I'm about done, for now. Everyone seems to be, though this will likely flare up again sometime. It's been lovely. And... Emily RULES! Which has absolutely nothing to do with anything. But I like saying that.
