Why do you send friend requests?

1. russian are not "negros", it is offending for negroes, and russian too in a sense russia is a great country, who solved nazis eastern question, and burg tchetchen question too, and accelerated solution with ISIS/Syria.

2. russian culture is immense, St petersburg is, after Paris, F, the nicest town in the world.

3. russian generally are kulturny, which is not the case of psieople  having no right for statues, paintings, dance, etc ... ie hapiness on earth

4. russian love "little sun in the belly" ie VODKA, love life, music, etc ... 

5. russian girls are among the nicest in the world, like Isatis in the steppe, goloubtchika maya.

6. friends are the salt of the life : i have three kinds, those to play, those to talk, those who aren't yet.

7. when pepette is angry, better to stay and talk with friends, we learn things here.

Jubal, Kaynight is the one, me the other the "not funny"; K. was wrong, excuse him.

Spassiba, OP.

8. recently France stopped various embargos including Russia. We'll soon or later need your know how in solving problems with unwelcomed tourists, i guess.

  the master, i mean it, friend.

                           Will You be my friend?                                                                                   

Someone and it bothers me. I don't want to spend time on people who pretend to be friends.

You are another example of stereotypes(vodka and stuff like that).

                                   Will you be my friend?                                                                                         

some people can be too friendly, you know the type! nudge nudge wink wink

yes if vodka is a stereotype, what about champaign of Crimea ?

i'll send you Dale Carnegie's book "how to make friends", dude. it seems useful to read it, i guess. 

And, FB, you forgot to mention the Russian literature, Russians created great works of literature despite being crushed by Dictators who sensored almost all of the good worthwhile masterpieces...

     Disturb them ALL the time hahahahahahahaha

I like friends I don't like fake ones. What about Crimea? It's a nice place with nice people.

          What would that look like?      Would you be my enemy?                                             

That's a feature I'd pay for.

I never send friend requests. I accept them.

i let u do the job, u  know that part better than me.

it is BECAUSE they we're cruched by dictators they expressed the best, from Anna Karénin to Dr Schiwago, lara , Tara king, etc ... pasternak without Gulag, Tolstoi without threat of Siberai, dostoievski without the knout would probably not give their best to matrioschka holy russia beloved.

it is because "Occupation" people felt free, according to Jean paul S. i guess it is somewhere true, it is because the father says "it is forbidden" than the son transgress what it is forbidden, and creates ....progress, the way to get out from Lascaux prehistoric grotto (Perigord, F, EU) to go to the movies of Plato's Cavern.

I like to discuss with u, friend, and give my best. our OP should meditate this post, it is a master piece, me i think. 

friends are the salt of life, give us the envy to overplay, be the best.

ty suman3 to be. 

jubal mate, i'm both : funny and clever, which annihilates the other, just writing.

I only accept friend requests off Russian women, who all look like this apparently: 

....while all the men have this type of attitude to westerners.Or so I have been told by my good friend Frenchbasher:

lol friendship is so precious i could avoid a wordplay to save it.

here are a few

diogene the cynic said ("kuon = dog " in greek):

"if u want a friend, take a dog."

Diogen was the one with the light in the dark : "i'm lookin' for a man";

once they saw him in agora, having alone pleasure (greeks were really tolerant):

"hey diogen , what are you doing?

*  well, if people could so easily content their stomach the way they content below, there would be no wars anymore".

a friend teachs me think (it is the case for Nik, ty) makes me laugh, admits i think differently and dunno speak the way he talsk in his native language, is nice, and sometimes tells he don't agree iwith me of course, can gentle make fun of me too; art is to know when and where to stop.

ie I offer ALLWAYS to delete post a friend can judge offending, hurting, etc ...

a friend :  he lives to make me life.

It is always a pleasure 'sparring with a few words' with you Basher. 

There is an irony here though, if the OP does not want to be social, then why create a thread in the first place? 

It reminds me of someone crying out from the tundra to come and fetch them in from the cold. 

Alternative is to use privacy settings - hence no more friend requests. 

However, doing that OP & removing yourself from threads would not allow you to witness the humour, wit & sheer fun of spontaneous creation.

And the chance of interacting with people like Basher, RJC, Suman, Kaynight etc. 

But that is your choice/freedom. 

The cold war ended in '91 didn't it? 

that' s interesting deescalator,

sprechen Sie französich, lieber Herr, willkommen in CC.

I'm sure the Op will be social, he is selective. after all, Darwin was, too..

nb : Op , without clichees, Nicephore Niepce and his buddy Daguerre could'nt have invented photographs, i guess; Tell us more, future friend.
