What are your limitations on PLUR?

Is there anything or anyone that make you break PLUR? Be honest and don't judge. We all have breaking points. I have a few people I've tried to forgive once but they ended up screwing me over again..

PLURR is a personal guideline not a religion. You CANNOT apply PLURR to people who do not follow it. I see that all the time. PLURR does not mean you allow people to bully you or take advantage of you. People think that you're supposed to just sit back and not do anything and that's not true! Look at the origins of PLUR. In the 80's There was a fight at a New York party and Frankie Bones, a dj, jumped on top of a speaker and yelled, "if you don't stat showing some peace, love, and unity I'm breaking you f***ing faces." Now we are not literally breaking faces here lol XD But maybe metaphorically. If someone doesn't follow PLURR and is bullying you than it is your responsibility to do something about it. You get in contact with an adult, the police, or anyone else who can help you solve this problem. There's a difference between expressing your opinions and being plain out rude or mean. You need to think about the way you word what you have to say so it will be received in the best way possible. (I do this all the time for videos) I have to be honest I don't believe PLURR is for everyone. Just like being a certain religion or being a vegetarian is not for everyone. You can strive to be as PLURR as possible and that's admirable but some people will always struggle with it. My personality fits right in with PLURR so I have never had any difficulties applying it to my life. But I also don't let PLURR dictate all of my actions. Like I said in the beginning, it is a GUIDELINE not a religion.

PLUR is a very noble idea and living to that to your very best is very admirable. On the same token there does have to be some limits set considering human nature. I won't allow myself to be pushed around, taken advantage of, or hurt multiple times by others because I wouldn't be living up to the idea of plur for myself when I let others treat me less than I do them. I would also be breaking other beliefs of mine as well. I treat others kindly and with respect unless if someone proves to me otherwise and then I just cut ties with them so nothing can escalate any further.

As great as a concept I feel PLUR is, I feel it's impossible to live 100% [even 80% or 70%] by [like some people claim they do/can (especially this day in age)].

If we did, nothing would be bad in the world [which is good], but also it would be very boring if everything was perfect [which I would hope we can all agree is bad].

When it comes down to Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect, the one that's first to go for me is "respect".

Don't expect me to respect you if you don't respect me.

I don't "break" it, but I think "PLUR" doesn't apply when expressing your opinions on a certain topic/subject.

Ive never forgiven the guy that molested me in 8th grade. When he got hit by a taxi when J-walking, I found out by one of my friends bringing me the newspaper clipping and literally busted up laughing in the middle of my class. I will forever hate that kid.

This kid has been bullying me since the beginning of the school year although I was insanely nice to him. Okay. Then he calls my friends gay, faggots, cunts, etc. and spreads rumors about them... So I threw and orange at his face, called him out and went to the bathroom where three girls who "loved" him said rather rude things so I challenged them to come back and fight me...

A few months ago My Best Friend was acting different. She always seemed to be scared and/or sad. I found out some guys were messing with her and shoving her into lockers in the hall. Remembering PLUR I calmly went up to the three of them and told them "My friend doesn't want any trouble. And neither do I. Sooo...Knock it off." and walked away. Turns out they were getting WORSE by stealing her stuff and kicking her in the shins. At this point I had seen enough bruises on her and decided to have another "word" with them again. This time I threatened them. One of them laughed and started pushing me...So I kicked him in the...yeah ._. and then the other one grabbed me so I punched him in the face. The last one ran off lol I usually NEVER use Violence, and this wasn't the best way to solve this problem. But They don't even dare look my way or my friends anymore. And they messed with almost EVERYONE at my school. But after that, they actually started apologizing to people. Including me and my friend. Guess they didn't like the taste of their own medicine xP

...someone hitting on my fiance after it's known that we're together. or hitting on me continuously after I've already told them that I'm with someone. My fiance and I have been together over a year, we love each other very much and we're pretty much a sure thing haha. hes actually the one that took me to my frist rave, which is where we got engaged ^_^ I'm honestly not a very jealous person at all and neither is he but there was this one time he went to fill up a water bottle and a man started to flirt with me and compliment me, I told him thanks but explained to him i was with someone. all he said was "well he ain't here is he sexy" and proceded to try and grind up on me. didn't let up until I turned around and slapped him rofl. I understand people are there to socialize and meet other people and maybe even "get lucky" but if someone explains to you that they're taken or even just uninterested it is really not only rude but really creepy to just continue harassing them. vice versa has happened with chicks hitting on him a couple times. but typically its nothing we can't handle by calmly walking away and ignoring them.
