Four of my best friends got into a fight with my older brother. Afterwards, they presented me with one ultimatum: Keep their friendship and ruin the relationship with my brother or choose my brother and lose their friendship.

I am no longer their friend.

The choices they gave me were rather stupid, we were in sixth grade at the time, but it was still a pretty stupid move. I decided that from here on out my general response to any ultimatum that demands I choose between two different people, or groups of people, will be answered with me telling the person(s) who are telling me to make a decision to get bent. Regardless of who they are and who I feel about them.
