I have always been one for sticking up for your friends. But not the part about "no matter what." If a friend was wrong and was to blame, I don't think it is right to support them in their wrongness if you will. In fact I think it is ridiculous to gang up on your friend's opponent based on hearsay from an upset person. Especially when you don't know the facts. I think this is one of the many things that separate the mature from the immaturity. Mature people look at both situations and listen to both sides before they make an opinion about the matter. Take court for instance. The jury hears testimonies from the prosecutor and the defendant before deciding guilty or not guilty. This is a system that has been in place since the Bill of Rights were added to the Constitution in 1789 declaring that all citizens had the right to a trial by jury and were innocent until proven guilty.
Basically, let's grow up and take example from the Consititution. I'm hoping this immaturity fad will soon be over. It's getting real old real quick.
