The [b][u]term[/u][/b] "Friends"...
In this modern society, the term "friends" is overly and loosely used.
The definition should be changed too "Person I don't dislike".
Thanks to the Internet anybody can be "friends" with anybody they like, just send a friend request and stare at your notifications until the person accepts.
Before technology it use to mean something, like many.. many words.
Women use this term loosely because majority of them are emotionally dependant, they believe they should be "friends" with [u]Everybody...[/u]
So.. Are any of these people your "friends?" Here on these forums?
I'm going to tell you bluntly = [b][u]No[/u][/b]
However since majority of you live in a Disney Fairy tale.
[u][b]Take this test[/b][/u] about how well you know your "friend":
1. Do you know their real name?
2. Do you know their gender?
3. Do you know their age?
4. Do you know what they look like?
5. Do you know what they Sound like?
6. Do you know why the reason they are over the forums in the first place?
7. What's their favourite game?
8. Last time you've done an activity together? If so how many times?
9. Last time you laughed so hard you fell over? If so how many times?
10. Last time you've just hung out?
10/10 = Real Friend
Over 50 hours of activities = Real Friend
So if majority of your answers is yes, you're either are true "friends" or a Stalker/FBI/Justin Beaver fan or.. A Pedestrian.
But for those of you who got majority of No's.
I'm going to save myself a lot of time with this:

I agree, acquaintance and friend have become almost synonymous.
