In my family it is. We may argue amongst ourselves, but if any of us is attacked from someone else, we all pull together.

Nope! Not always! I've been estranged from my natural
"Father" for 25 years! I have a Step-Father and I really love him like crazy! Wish I could call HIM "Dad"! I'm afraid it might freak him out, though. But HE HAS BEEN MY DAD FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS!

Generally yes, but it can be thinned when you aren't looking.

Hell no it isn't, at least not in my dysfunctional family.

Sadly I have found this to be true more often than not, especially at work...nepotism is alive and well.

i believe so, blood clotts so im almost positive it is thicker because water is really thin, but idk im not a doctor i could be wrong i havent tested it but i would have a very good guess that blood id thicker

Philosophically or physically?

I believe in the old adage "To live by the sword is to die by the sword.", I will stand by blood relatives to the death if they are right and just,but, if they are wrong they will fall by their own hand and I won't catch them.

I know it sounds harsh but, I don't like to compromise my morals for anyone.

yes - but when you are of a mixed blood family you are bonded equally to all the ansestry that is within one's family. It makes ya feel like your being torn apart at times.

Yes, most definitely.
"Blood is redder than water" is what they say in Germany, I was born there when my father was in the U.S.Army. It's a proverb (Blut ist dicker als Wasser), which in English speaking countries is "Blood is thicker than water". It generally means that the bonds of family and common ancestry are stronger than those bonds between unrelated people (such as friendship).

It first appeared in medieval times as 'Kin-blood is not spoilt by water.' In 1412. And No, I do not have any information if the saying was first penned by a Vampire, but the name Bram Stoker does come to mind, LOL!

yes, figuratively and literally.

Hmmm may I have a volunteer, preferably one from the flock?! ; )

Depends on how corrupt the blood is.

Circa Survive lyrics:
"If blood is thicker than water, then you'll drown quicker than we intended."

Scientifically, yes
