It's not real. That's not love; it's infatuation. If your 13 year old daughter/niece/sister/whatever comes to you and tells you that she's fallen madly, truly in love with the 16 year old she met today and is going to marry him, would you admire her?
Well you did come off as kinda an ass when you dismissed every point Juski was making with a "I'm going back to English class" which implied that ultimately it wasn't a matter of agreeing to disagree you were right he was wrong and you had the English major.
And I don't think that anybody past the age of 16 doesn't know that Romeo and Juliet die in the end. They just have a different understanding of it.

I wasn't trying to dismiss his points. Like I said before, I agree with him in his justification, just not the end conclusion that they were actually deeply in love. The "take a high school English class" comment actually really hurt my feelings so rather than let myself get more worked up over it, I decided to pick up my toys and go home. That's all.

Emphatically, yes. Would I permit her to do it? No. Would I think it was stupid? Yes. Admire her? In many ways. Again, not mutually exclusive.
I totally disagree with you that it's not "real". Is not feasible, but that's not the same thing.

But somehow i don't think i would be threatening to throw her in the street unless she married someone else (that's prob even older) either...

Once again, if we took Shakespeare literally, especially 500 years away from the society he lived in...well, of course there's going to be discrepensies. I think most people are looking at the age thing a wee bit too critically from the rose-tinted glasses of the 20-aughts. By easing up a bit for cultural context, and by giving to the fact that Shakespearean drama is emotionally poignant but often intense instead of realistic or rational, and it's actually much easier to justify the whole Romeo and Juliet thing.
Oh, and Lally--apologies. I got bent out of shape and hit the ground running when Chaz laid out the "retarded" thing, amongst all the other snark that was piling up around the place. Obviously I played my hand as yet another asshole, and I'm sorry. You can bring your toys back!

I hate hate HATE the Black Eyed Peas ever since they got that pants-pissing doofus to be their female lead. They went from one of the best hip-hop groups going to a parody of a bad pop group in no time flat.
Here's my evidence. Before:
After (same song, but who the fuck can tell?):

It's funny that I was trying to call out someone who obviously has no idea what she is talking about -- remember, this is the songwriter that refers to herself as the Scarlet Letter... I think it's safe to say she's not a lit major -- and ended up bickering with someone that obviously has as much appreciation for the study of literature as I do. I was snippy too, so I apologize for that... and although I do stand by the notion that people trying to compare themselves to a crazy couple of kids like Romeo & Juliet are kinda what's wrong with people's whole notion of love, I can understand the desire to compare your personal experience of love with the uninhibited, passionate lust of young people feeling such things for the first time.

Yeah, God forbid you actually explain why i'm being a moron instead of just making a blanket claim... giving reasons is so "schoolyard"...
Well there you go, something we can agree on...

There are a few songs that I find pretty annoying but the only one that I can think of right now, because I heard it on the way to class this morning, is "Jukebox Hero" by Forigner. I fuckibg can't stand that song. It's one of a few songs that gets me annoyed to the point of anger. The thing is I don't know why I hate it so much. I just do. I might post a video of it when I get home, but that also means having look it up on YouTube.
