Another week of our lives has passed us by, at this rate we will be done in no time.

Knowledge says it's "give a thumbs up sign to random strangers don't pat them on the ass it's creepy" day.

But make sure you look them in the eyes.

According to sociologists the increased use of the internet is contributing to a drastic decline in the number of close friends that Americans have.



According to the study the number of people who say they have no one to talk to about important matters has more than doubled. And the number of people that respond and said they discuss important matters with fell from about 3 to 2.

Wait, I thought you said close friends. Now you're talking about people who you discuss important matters with.

Last night my close friends and I discussed how many hamburgers it would be possible to eat in 24 hours.

I think 100 is too high.

We were discussing whether the rules for a 24-hour hamburger eating contest would disallow laxatives.

I felt like everything was fair game as long as nothing came back out the hole you put it in. That at least solves the binge-and-purge loophole.

Sociologist Lyn Smith Levin, who apparently feels qualified to make these sorts of statements, said: “This change indicates something that’s not good for our society. Ties with a close network of people creates a safety net.”

That safety net also borrows articles of clothing and doesn’t return them. And has reoccurring birthdays that I have to buy things for. And constantly reminds you of who they perceive you to be at the expense of what you’d like to become. And then they ask you to feed their animals. And get mad at you for changing.

Hey, here's an idea! Maybe since this massively networked world is still in its adolescence we're still trying to work out the rules of communication and friendship. Just because you see something we've traditionally relied on disappear, it doesn't mean we're [tornado fang]'d.

Oh yeah and happy Halloween. I spent my day working a 9 hours shift and being sick as hell and now I am sitting in front of the computer typing this on this forum with a questionable layout.

I hope you had as much fun as I did.

HMMM-HM.

That was a nice read...

Do you mind if I use it for a writing assignment I've been putting off?

The decline of socialism due to the internet was one of the subject choices and it's the only one I prefer...
