The act of adding someone as a "friend" has irked me since the very day I found out about Facebook. Really.
It seems that the line of who is friend and who is not is not blurred. It's just a colour that no one knows to look for. If it were a colour-blindness test, everyone would fail. There is such a thing as an acquaintance.
Why can't we all just get along is not the logical equivalent of let's all be friends.
So, why is this a problem? Really?
It's a problem because the definition of Friend is not the same as the definition of Acquaintance. That means that I can't, conscionably add people who are not my friends. Sure I can. But the line is invisible and no one knows to look for it. It means that I can't add someone who is an acquaintance because they might be just as nuts as I am and know the difference.
Oh woe is me when I log-on.

The musings of a mind. A mind of musings. We as a species put foot to ground, but, more specifically, we as a generation put word to screen. This is just an expression of my youth. Some days I'll express my frustration, others someone else's frustration. Ilya "Red Beard" Nikhamin
