This was an interesting one LOL
I see both of your points honestly, they both "sabotaged" their respective relationships in a way. And I definitely don't agree with Ross all the time but at least it was a little bit understandable for him as he had been madly in love with Rachel for like 10 years. That and also the fact that technically Rachel and Paolo weren't actually in a relationship yet, makes it a bit different as well.

Ok so he made one comment to a guy who doesn’t speak English. While I see your point it still doesn’t compare to the level of sabotage Rachel does in just 4 episodes compared to Ross pining for most of the season 1

What Ross did in that one episode she referred to is trying to sabotage. He told Paolo that him and Rachel were a thing and if Paolo gets involved, Ross will be sad. Rachel really wanted Paolo at that point, it was obvious, Ross could see. If Paolo had listened to Ross and not responded to Rachel's interest, Rachel would have been the one sad. Because of Ross meddling. And ruining that possibility for her. (Also, at that point we didn't know Paolo wasn't a good guy, he could have been, for all Ross knew at the time)

What did Ross actually do in season 1 to sabotage Rachel? He never acted on anything and just let her be while being sad about it in the background. Rachel is actively trying to meddle with Ross relationship right now.
Rachel is far worse in my opinion

It’s actually illegal to marry someone just for them to get a green card into the country, I wouldn’t technically call it a nice thing that phoebe did. They could both get put in jail for 5 years

I don’t know how old you are but I’ll assume you are in your 20s. I’m going to push back on your opinion about ending up alone. As a young woman who has her whole life ahead of her you can’t understand the overwhelming level of sadness you feel when you are alone forever.
I had an uncle who was very successful with women as a young man but just like chandler and Mr heckles had issues committing to any of them for silly reasons. He ended up alone for the rest of his life after he reached his late thirties and died last year aged 78. Every time I visited him in recent years he would tell me how much he regretted his entire life that he never found someone and had a family and told me not to make the same mistake as him.
I guarantee there are millions of examples just like that out in the world
We are all still young so cannot fathom the amount of pain people that end up alone forever feel.
I personally hate current societal norms regarding staying single or living your best life, that’s all nonsense to me. Sadly so many modern people will not realise they have been swindled by the system until it is too late.

Ross was absolutely correct to try and correct phoebe for her take on evolution and gravity. Sometimes people just need to be told they’re stupid when they say stupid things.

It's actually really interesting watching all of these episodes again for the first time after learning that both Ross and Rachel had a crush on each other in real life at around this time. I don't remember when the crush began or stopped, but I can see how their acting is enhanced by it. I think season 2 is my favorite, honestly.

this was great! lol and don't worry about the show being too deep or not too deep when you're discussing it, that's half the fun in my opinion, yes this is a funny show but it also has real serious emotional moments as well which I love!
