So there is something I do not understand quite well, lets say, I am Confused. What are the topics you talk about with your friends ? Aren't those interesting as well ? This is a good way to learn more about the external world, that will make you grow. This way you can as well learn more about your friends have a better understanding of their point of view. It doesn't mean that you have to agree with his/her opinions.

Yes, I do beleive that a man and a woman can be friends. It is difficult sometimes but no impossible. As to taking it to the next level, it can happen, that's for sure, it usually work though since you know each other so well ! But I think that this is something that is previously discussed between the 2 parties since the confidence level on this kind of subject is ver y high.

In the past few days many threads re. Politics and religion have come up. Does people’s creed really affect the way you feel about them as a person/friend? Do you pick and choose who you befriend based on their religious or political points of view? Is it important to you that people close to you share these beliefs?

How do I pick my friends? Like this: Ini mini myni mo...

And if they're latinos, then like this: Tin marin de do pingué...

 I get you!  It's like I said if religion or politics is not important to you than it would never be an issue. Just an example....you have said how much you are against homosexuality....does that mean you could not have a gay friend or is that an issue that you don't really care about...could you find yourself being the friend of a gay person?

---

Yes.....as a matter of fact I do have a gay friend.......since college.

We get along FINE. We have no problems, he knows how I am & think. It's about respect & i NEVER disrespect him or insult him in any way, so weather he agrees with my points of views or not it's irrelevant to our friendship. Friendship is about RESPECT & we don't LACK that.

I dont go around the bush, cause i don't see why i should ever be like that. I'm the way I AM & people around me can take it or leave it if they dont like it. I won't die without anyones friendship ( I just dont work like that) .........I've told him that I don't agree with gay marriages & that I dont think its right for them to adopt (it's my opinion). I don't see where we would EVER have any problems cause I respect him all gay & he should respect the way I was brought up & the way I view this matter.

I've got my religion & my own personal opinion on politics, but that would never make me not be friends with someone. I think its dumb if thats a reason.

Choosing Friends....... Well if I like you from the beginning I meet you then you get a nice side of me & get to be my friend, but if i care less about you at first you just simply will never be my friend. Religion/Politics......why should this be an issue, they are "FRIENDS". What they believe in or their politic views are irrelevant to me.........of course unless they affect me (which I doubt it will).

I like the little prince!!

 

You know I am sure that somewhere out there in this world there is a right wing conservative bible thumper that I might like but I have yet to meet one!!!  I just don't usually get along well with them

@LAHTINA: awww, that was so nicee!!!

 

This is my favourite chapter of The Little Prince. I think it answers your question, it does for me, anway. I know it's a little long but it's sooooo beautiful.

It was then that the fox appeared.

"Good morning," said the fox.

"Good morning," the little prince responded politely, although when he turned around he saw nothing.

"I am right here," the voice said, "under the apple tree."

"Who are you?" asked the little prince, and added, "You are very pretty to look at."

"I am a fox," the fox said.

"Come and play with me," proposed the little prince. "I am so unhappy."

"I cannot play with you," the fox said. "I am not tamed."

"Ah! Please excuse me," said the little prince.

But, after some thought, he added:

"What does that mean--'tame'?"

"You do not live here," said the fox. "What is it that you are looking for?"

"I am looking for men," said the little prince. "What does that mean--'tame'?"

"Men," said the fox. "They have guns, and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise chickens. These are their only interests. Are you looking for chickens?"

"No," said the little prince. "I am looking for friends. What does that mean--'tame'?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. It means to establish ties."

"'To establish ties'?"

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world . . ."

"I am beginning to understand," said the little prince. "There is a flower . . . I think that she has tamed me . . ."

"It is possible," said the fox. "On the Earth one sees all sorts of things."

"Oh, but this is not on the Earth!" said the little prince.

The fox seemed perplexed, and very curious.

"On another planet?"

"Yes."

"Are there hunters on that planet?"

"No."

"Ah, that is interesting! Are there chickens?"

"No."

"Nothing is perfect," sighed the fox.

But he came back to his idea.

"My life is very monotonous," the fox said. "I hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat . . ."

The fox gazed at the little prince, for a long time.

"Please--tame me!" he said.

"I want to, very much," the little prince replied. "But I have not much time. I have friends to discover, and a great many things to understand."

"One only understands the things that one tames," said the fox. "Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me . . ."

"What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince.

"You must be very patient," replied the fox. "First you will sit down at a little distance from me--like that--in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day . . ."

The next day the little prince came back.

"It would have been better to come back at the same hour," said the fox. "If, for example, you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o'clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you . . . One must observe the proper rites . . ."

"What is a rite?" asked the little prince.

"Those also are actions too often neglected," said the fox. "They are what make one day different from other days, one hour from other hours. There is a rite, for example, among my hunters. Every Thursday they dance with the village girls. So Thursday is a wonderful day for me! I can take a walk as far as the vineyards. But if the hunters danced at just any time, every day would be like every other day, and I should never have any vacation at all."

So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near--

"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

"It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you . . ."

"Yes, that is so," said the fox.

"But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.

"Yes, that is so," said the fox.

"Then it has done you no good at all!"

"It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields." And then he added:

"Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will make you a present of a secret."

The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.

"You are not at all like my rose," he said. "As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world."

And the roses were very much embarassed.

"You are beautiful, but you are empty," he went on. "One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or ever sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.

And he went back to meet the fox.

"Goodbye," he said.

"Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"What is essential is invisible to the eye," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."

"It is the time I have wasted for my rose--" said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.

"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose . . ."

"I am responsible for my rose," the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.

Yo por eso no tengo friends cause siempre ago imvitacion China LoL yo imvito y ellos pagan LoL

A continuation of my last post. I have friends of many races and religions! I like and respect everyone's culture! I don't choose who i want to be friends with, it just happens. If they are fun and easy to talk to, then we can get along! But as a BF/husband, then Religion is a factor for me. Like i said earlier, i don't want to be choosing! I don't want complications when i have children. Let alone the wedding! I have a friend who is Catholic and her fiance is of another religion. And it a hadache right now on how they will marry!

I choose my friends based on who has the biggest bank account.   J/J I think that at this stage of the game, you choose friends based on who you feel comfortable with.  I would not feel ways about befriending a person who is a Hindu or a an athiest for that matter, as long as we both feel comfortable with each other and respect each others different beliefs.
