Who Says Money Can't Buy Friends?
Courtney5000 writes "It looks like some users of popular networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook have stooped so low as to actually pay real money for friends. These friends aren't even real believe it or not. You can apparently choose from a selection of 'models' to leave you customized comments to look like you have friends and are popular online. This is unbelievable!"
....you think this is unbelievable. What do you expect from people using Myspace??
If good looking people were actually capable of being nice then this sort of thing would never happen. It's a shame that the so-called attractive members of our society are all vacuuous, dull imbeciles who can't compliment anyone who they deem to be less socially acceptable than they are. I hate those people.
PS. I'm being mean because I'm so damn handsome.

As a fraternity man myself, I usually respond to the old "Greeks buy their friends" line with one of my own:
Me: "So you think I bought my friends? Tell me, do you attend church?"
Him: "Yeah, why?"
Me: "Do you ever donate money to your church?"
Him: "Sometimes - what of it?"
Me: "So you're trying to buy your way into heaven, aren't you?"
That usually shuts them up, or at least makes them think twice about what they said.
Another interesting fact for all to consider: go to the alumni association of any university with a Greek system, and find out the percentage of alumni donors who were Greeks. You may be enlightened by what you discover, although universities hate to admit it. Did you somehow think that alumni give money to a college because of all the wonderful times they had in class being lectured by professors?
