Will someone mind telling me why so many people make friend requests to people they've never met? Is this to add to their tally of friends to impress anyone who's on their FB page or what? How petty LW1's husband's ex-coworker's wife is. Or is she just a stupid waste of oxygen space? How can the masses of people put so much importance in adding to their friends tally on FB? Is a high number of friends a status symbol? Did you know you cay actually BUY friends lists from unscrupulous peddlers? They "steal" images of goodlooking people, create fake names and profile info, then sell these--and people buy them. Yet more proof how degraded the human species is. "Oh looky at meeee! I got over 3,000 friends!"
