But those friends that are assholes, aren't friends... they are just assholes  

I have really few real life(not internet  ) friends, five or six is enough for me... the rest is just coleagues... It is much better that way, because those five friends are always willing to help you and vice-versa, the coleagues are just for fancy stuff and time hanging  

Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

I would go exactly four feet for one. Provided I didn't have to do anything after that.

But seriously- I don't know. I live way out in the middle of nowhere, where the populations is about 1 old lady to 400 cats, and nobody else. So all but one of the friends I make are on the few short trips when I get outta the house, and I don't manage to keep in touch afterwards. Most of these friends- I wouldn't screw with their minds, and that's about it. Of course, I might do all these other things you mentioned, since I don't have any personal opposition to any of them, but only if I knew I wasn't just getting screwed by some guy I knew, even unintentionally, and had some kinda personal compulsion to do so as well- bump off some real *******  we both knew and who was, say, extorting money from my friend, somethiung like that. The only thing I wouldn't do for friend or girlfriend is give up doing what I do best- the Revolution.

Well, the guy I'm on about probably knows I like her, but... he's him... He aint exactly the best of my friends, but I don't know him that well.
 By the way, don't worry about me being taken advantage of, never happens. I seem to have a knack for wondering into the line of fire way before anyone pushes me there

Well, Raven, yeah you are right. I have about 4 or 5 real friends off line who would really do stuff with/for me... The rest just are people to joke with/about and really have no serious bond with.

And I made 1000 posts, look at my fancy new title

Look at mine  
 Over the last couple of daYS, i have learnt some important lessons, some things never change, while some never stay the same. I also learnt you should ALWAYS pour water on a chip-fat fire

And the world keeps turning...  

(About the good news - at the very least, it is a pleasant surprise at the end of what can be a long hour, a long day, or a long month   )

Damn, did I really write that thing? Gotta lay off the space crack... It has always seemed to me that friendship should be a matter of mutual convienience, but naturally if you didn't want to do this you wouldn't have started in the first place.

No, thats Robert Heinline.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Very true but there are those of us that try to go against the grain.

I like to think you can't get more against the grain than me  
 Unlike seemingly so many others in this country, I have my own mind.
