2/10
I posted and you got a hot topic from this.
Better to keep you people together to prevent more people from being infected.
OT: Should I? I'd have to give you a 3/10... eh why not... never been in a relationship :)

If you've read this far into the thread I advise not posting. The flood maybe eating itself alive by giving attention to these idiots but you can stop it today. Yes, I'm talking to you good sir mod or lurker looking for a good laugh. Enjoy the read, don't post.
Above the line is my contribution to this thread, as you can see I don't like the OP very much. The message directly under the line is my sort of help to those lost and maybe looking upon this thread in the near future. If you're reading this section hopefully the thread is now dead or has been locked. To keep from going to far off topic and getting myself in trouble I'd like to have a little talk about relationships and the effect it has on the flood.
You see, as much as we hate to admit it, jay and harlow are popular. They get all the attention, they are like celebrities that have a lot of haters just because they gain much attention for... absolutely nothing. They are happy and in a relationship and the flood cannot handle this as most of them are alone and have been angered by these two at some point in their Bungie.net career.
My logic is to not get angry at their happiness and infamy but rather focus on their existential lives. They are just people, much like us and only mention these extra tidbits of information in their threads because, to put it simply, the flood is predictable. Now, if the flood thought for a minute about how these are just normal people and stopped giving in to their general population complex, they would find themselves not caring about one's status and ignoring these people, thus making them equal on not on a pedestal.
Truly, it is the mortal rub of all people that even though they shun societal norms they succumb to them in their own way through human nature. It is the sad truth that people are incapable of changing themselves once the values of society have been implanted in their brains at such an early age.
How does this relate to relationships, the topic of the thread, you ask? Well, these societal values are also implanted in us even though some may deny it. It is evident in the fact that those that have never been in a relationship become defensive, no matter how slightly and those that have a relationship flaunt it. It has been shown throughout our lives that relationships are good and those that do not have them are somewhat shunned, treated differently, if you will. Thus, the thread is two-fold in that it preys on the insecurity of all and bends that focus to those that are popular and happy.
I believe, though, we can move away from this. I have never been in a relationship and I have always tried to get away from that defensiveness that has been set in my mind from day one. Enlightenment is the only way, we must step back from our lives and look at our surroundings. Only when we break these repetitions of society can we truly know ourselves and what it means to be human. So, look upon this thread and think about what people have posted. Such little, seemingly insignificant words can bring out a lot in people's personalities. If you take what information you glean from reading this post and those that came before and after it and apply it, you will find yourself on a whole different level than everyone.
It may take some time but believe and people will follow. Such is the way of people. Do not take relationships so seriously and always remember that every ounce of knowledge you draw in brings you one step closer to the goal of a perfect life.
Thank you, and good night my fellow floodian.
