The worst thing a person can say to a person after theyve broken up with them, why the hell would they actually want to be friends they wouldnt have gone out with you if they wanted to be your friend. I just want to be friends(meaning i want to be able to talk to you and for you to pretend that your talking to me as a friend with no sexual emotions attached)

Get the I just want to be friends mug.when you have to be cruel to be kind, it simply means you are dishing out tough love to your lover. (S)he will later recognize that you have his/her best interests in mind and will later be grateful for what you are doing. Things will all pan out in the end, your lover just has to trust you.
"Cruel to be Kind" is a late 1979 hit for British rock'n'roller Nick Lowe. He's made other great witty songs as well, check out his 1989 greatest hits release "Basher: The Best of Nick Lowe", it's terrific. Also, a different song of the same title appears on the debut album "Resident Alien" by Spacehog, from 1995.

Get the tobechukwu mug.While "to be fair" is oftentimes overused and misused, it does serve a legitimate role.
When someone makes too many partial assertions and you feel as though they are intentionally ignoring some aspect -- i.e. they aren't being fair -- then you can use the phrase to introduce your counterpoint.
"To be fair" is not intended to completely put down the other person's points. Rather, it simply sheds light on the opposing perspective that has been overlooked.
Ideally, the phrase should be used to highlight an equally valid counterpoint. If you fail to do this, then your point is "pointless," and it is better left unsaid.

NOT correct usage:
"Hitler was an awful person"
"Well, to be fair, some of his art was pretty nice" -- this is not a valid counterargument. We're talking about two points of different proportions.
CORRECT usage:
"Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior! We should all worship him!"
"To be fair, many people have different beliefs from you, and we cannot prove/disprove what god is right or wrong. I respect your faith, you need to do the same to those around you." -- this highlights a big oversight in the original commenter, adding something meaningful to the conversation

Get the To be fair mug.A famous and hilarious sketch that was part of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" in which the narrator, John Cleese attempts to stress the importance of "not being seen". As he asks people to please reveal themselves in a woodland scene, each is either shot, blown up, or somehow otherwise killed in hilarious fashion. Quite possibly the funniest Monty Python sketch ever.
Mr. Nesbit has learned the first lesson of being seen. NOT to stand up. However, he has chosen a very obvious piece of cover...
*BOOM*
Guy 1: Dude, have you seen that sketch, How Not to be Seen? It's hilarious
Guy 2: Yeah, it was pretty funny. You didn't take much from that, did you?
Guy 1: Huh?
BOOM
