referring to point no 3, should i accept facebook's friend requests from acquaintances, especially those you've only heard the name of or met online and never in real life? i have the tendency to be cruel of rejecting such requests cos for me, facebook is a friends network site. and only real friends are in my list.  hence, it is not wrong for me to act such a way, right? so, please don't judge. i'm not arrogant. it's just me. i just wanna keep everything nice, clean and simple. peace!
