A asks me to hang out.
I tell my friend B I am hanging out with A.
B says to me - oh I don't like A. I heard she does sex tricks. C hangs out with and was arrested last week. Made the paper.
I tell B - well, I am not hanging out with C I am hanging out with A and no sex will be involved.

As long as YOU know who you are it shouldnt matter..
However, society does not see it that way at all. We are all about trying to gather information on someone ASAP.
If I see a teenage boy hanging out with a group of 5 other teenage boys smoking cigs and hanging out behind a movie theatre, you're correct in that I am going to judge him right along with his friends. . Even though he may be a 4.0 student and a star in his school musical..
Just watch what friends you bring out with you if you are worried about association. It will happen no matter what.
Most people tend to hang out with others of their same caliber anyway.
I'm not itching anymore. 
Those are all minor examples and nobody thinks ALL friends are EXACTLY the same. I'm talking about character issues:Chasey_Lane said:I know of one friend that still tokes up here and there. Sometimes we hang out. I don't smoke.
When I was about 21/22 I always hung out with a certain gal. She never had a cell phone and would always use mine to call dudes and. I was in a steady relationship and wasn't into that. I would drop her off, then go along my way.
I hang out with a few people that like to party almost every weekend. I go out on ocassion and rarely do I have more than 2 drinks, usually it is just water, but I've gotten "alcoholic" karma before.
Make sense?
Your first friend not only smokes pot, but steals to get it (and you know about it but still choose to keep them as a friend).
The second friend is cheating on her husband and uses your cellphone to arrange her hookups.
The third friend routinely drives drunk, endangering others, and gets in drunken bar fights. (I get "alcoholic" karma all the time - I think it's because of my association with Pete
)Those are the types of associations we're talking about - not that Pixie has a terrible fashion sense, so you must too because you hang out with her.

I don't "perscribe" to any theory, and in fact you cannot "prescribe" to any theory, you can only "prescribe" the theory. Now SUBscribe, yes... I subscribe to the theory.Kain99 said:Perscribe to this theory? I sure do. Been told this is unfair.
