I take it that you aren’t really surprised. It’s mostly liberals that use FB and My Space. They think it’s real life with “real” friends. I have a FB account with 4 friends. One is my best friend in life and the others are relatives. lol
Oh, DJ. I know what you mean. The word “friend” is rendered meaningless on facebook. I joined at my brother’s urging. In some ways, it is fun and there are some encouraging brothers and sisters in the Lord. The best part is I have actually met people via facebook - people that I feel have blessed me.
Where I have run into trouble is by friending or allowing to be friended by people I knew in high school - people I really didn’t know back when and am beginning to find out that I was probably luckier for that. ha ha.
Meanwhile, because I am also in school and have to interact with the kids sometimes, I find it much easier to email them via facebook than the college email system (they never read their university email but they are on facebook constantly).
