Online "Friends" - Technology Has Us Choosing Our "Friends" Online

Here I am again posting on my new BLOG my feelings about so called online "friends". 

When you call, text or email someone and they say they will call, text or email you back, you expect them to call, email or text you back, correct?  The worst is being ignored as if you have gotten the plague or something along that line, and you don't hear a word, NOTHING!  Or, you text or call someone and they just ignore you.  Then they decide they want in your good graces once again when the "urge" to have their "friend" back and TA DA, out of the blue, here they are!  Do you respond?  Out of politeness and sometime sheer loneliness, and maybe a little curiosity, I do respond, an idiotic thing to do.
Texting, the "Cowards" way of breaking up!

What about "friend"?  When someone asks to be your "friend" online, does that mean they will give you a ride when you need one, be a shoulder to cry on when your online lover just broke up with you online, lend you $20, or tell you to change your clothes and comb your hair cause you look like crap that day?  I think NOT!  An online "friend" is someone sitting on the other side of another computer being who knows what, living who knows where, and maybe using 10 year old pictures of themselves or someone else's pictures entirely! Whoa, I knew I saw that guy's picture in an ad in Cosmo; magazine picture thief!  My point being, you have no idea who this person is; they could be an axe wielding, psycho serial killer and you would never know.  So, why do we write each other via email, text each other, or in some cases, talk to each other on the telephone?  Would we go up to some stranger in Southern California (or anywhere for that matter) and say, "hey, would you be friend? "People would think you're a nut job out there on the streets losing your way after escaping from the "home".  Better yet if someone asks to "friend" us, would we say "sure I'll accept your offer to be my friend, come on over to my life and learn everything about it?"

At least if we were doing it in person, we would have an idea of who or whom we are looking at (maybe more than one person sending you those "sweet nothings" on the Internet).  This  was something I was thinking about since I have met some real "winners" on the Internet that tell me how much they love and adore me, now will you send me money as my little baby girl needs surgery since she was attacked by gangsters who clubbed her little legs until they were broken up like twigs.  Do they think I'm stupid?  Are people that ignorant?  Would you send money to some random person out there just because they've showered you with words of endearment, whispering in your computers proverbial ear via text, poetry, romantic notions or compliments of how stunningly beautiful you are (should have figured the person is lying with the "your beautiful" lie)?  Enough about that people, but just watch your backs and DON'T BE SO DUMB!

I've been at this computer for two hours, my legs are numb...I can't feel my legs...someone send me $25,000 because I may need a massage; don't know if I can possibly get up! HA HA!

I'm stuck in this position; will a "friend" help me up?
