28. I found it strange that you Americans get upset when your friend or friends "Back you up".

It's like you have a chip on your shoulder and you will be rude to even your friends if they are bonded with you.

NOT cutting you down but in a lot of other cultures (such as mine, Australia) if MY friend is being picked on or messed with, I'm right THERE saying "Hey...you fuck with him...you fuck with me."

Just an observation.

Why did the lady take offense (at the start of the film) when her friend came to her defense? BlueJazz Nov 2015 #38

First, that was not the start of the film. Kind of Blue Nov 2015 #39
