    Good idea for friend request let us send a message too

    Like why we want to be friends or who we are etc. so they have a clue and don't feel as invaded

    Like FaceBook when you add friend, you can at same time include message with it

    Invaded? Heck, when I get a friend request my first response is, "Wow. this person doesn't have very good judgment."

    Why do we need "friends"? I accepted one in order to read his blog and then two others from people I haven't really interacted with. Other than for people who want to limit the number of people who read their blog, I don't understand the point of the “friend” stuff.

    If you do make a comment available for when requesting friends, please don't make it required! I hate writing why I want to be friends!

    Sans Nom, I think it's good to have friends esp. when you are new here, just to feel like there is someone who already likes you.

    Will you be my friend?


    Have you ever seen a boy with funny clothes?
    A girl with braces on her teeth or freckles on her nose?
    Some kids call them odd balls some kids call them wierd
    Is it my imagination or does aunt ruth have a beard?
    God makes lots of people in all colors, shapes and sizes
    He loves them very much and what we need to realize is
    That calling people names because they're different is wrong
    Instead we need to look on them in love and sing this song

    [chorus]
    I can be your friend
    I can be your friend
    Any day and any weather
    We can be friends and play together

    Ya were all pretty different some are skinny some are stout
    But the inside is the part were supposed to care about
    Aye thats why we have feelings that are very much the same
    So instead of wierdo i think friends a better name

    [chours]
    I can be your friend
    I can be your friend
    If your hair is red or yellow
    We can have lunch i'll share my jello

    I can be your friend
    I can be you friend

    "Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
    Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
    Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
    I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
    My chains fell off, my heart was free,
    I rose, went forth, and followed Thee."

    Actually, what is the point of the friends feature? What privileges are bestowed on me when I am somebody's friend? Should I be depressed that I don't have many friends?

    I'll be friends with you since I like your avatar picture though don't know where it is from.

    9th commandment violation

    I was on your site and saw you had friends

    Also Self pity violation - is there a law for that? We need to ask a theonomist.
