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?

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.
