i didn't de-friend people on purpose when using facebook... i just experimented... i figured... if facebook.com was going to **** around with psychological examinations, experiments... my "network" of over 200, "friends"... had to shrink to 4, "anomalies"... ****... seal"... kiss from a rose... ooh ooh... what's.... what's what? this is not a double-edged sword metaphor... this is a staff "metaphor"... as far as i am concerned.. only one person hold the sword... as you pass scissors... with the blunt side first... but a stick?! a stick has two ends*... i didn't de-friend my 200+ contacts on facebook by some personal quest for crafting an anomaly... i just don't like being psychologically tested on... while at the same time not being told... you want a slave?! ask some Chinese drone to make up the numbers!
