No. In this case you gotta abandon 10% of your loyalty. You stand up for what's RIGHT, not what's wrong because you're afraid of his/her opinion.

No, because if you know they wrong you should tell them that they are wrong. And if they get mad at you they wasn't a good friend anyways if you stick up for them all the time and they get mad at you for helping them. I hope this help.

If you're a best friend or REALLY GOOD friend with this person, I'll say NO! Friends are there to guide and what's the sense lying to them. Don't do it in a mean way but help your friend realise what is right and why she's wrong.

I tend to agree with the people that wrote "no", or "not always". I just wanted to add one thing. The most important thing here, the thing that differentiates you as a friend from a random person, is how you handle it. Dont go against your friend in public, dont put him/her in a difficult situation, etc. Instead, pull them aside and explain why you are unable to support them in this matter.

But certainly I dont think friendship implies that you are obliged to stick up for someone when they are wrong. In most cases I think the best thing is just to stay out of it.

Not always. If what they're saying is completely idiotic, people are gonna think you're the same way if you stand for it with them, but if they're not completely wrong, then yes. It just depends what's being said & the situation at hand.

Most people would, but it pretty much depends on what they are talking about.

it depends. if you know that they are 100% wrong, then <u>I</u> would let them fight their own battles. But if they have some right in it, then try to help them out by pointing out that they we're right on that one thing.. by being a good friend doesnt mean ALWAYS sticking up for them when their wrong.
