    What’s wrong with that? Of course they will side with their friends. If my friend is scheming and shares with me, I’m in! Being partners in crime is such a strong bonding experience.

      Not if the friend is wrong. If they’re really wrong then, I’ll try to talk them out of it. If they’re really really wrong, then I’ll stop being their friend.

      I don’t like this kind of in-group/out-group clannish mentality – that “right” is whatever the in-group decides, with no greater thought to what’s like actually the best thing for everyone, whether they’re in the group or not.

      So, you’d help your friend cheat on their partner and still feel comfortable trusting them?
