It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

Social Interaction.
A buddy of mine is trying to convince me to join a social club to get out of my apartment. For example, I only left the apartment yesterday long enough to run to the local stop-n-rob to get some Dr. Pepper and a snickers. I walked, so it doubles as exorcise. She sent me some links, one of which is a nudest enthusiast site, but I like SlashDot's idea better.

Google News.
I've noticed a troubling trend on Google News. They put up links to pay news sites. I don't subscribe, so all I get is a screen that says "pay up or piss off." I wish Google News would give me the option to block these sites from their page when I show up. ... I noticed about an hour later that that particular link was removed and that other "The Street" links did not lead to a pay site. I wander if it was a fluke.
Notice the use of ellipsis points. This is still not the proper use, but it works here.

Grass Root Ethnic Cleansing.
The latest attacks in Saudi Arabia tell me the targets are foreign oil workers. It says in the article that the attackers separated Muslims and non Muslims. As the attackers searched the apartment building, they killed non-Muslims and let Muslims go. This sounds like ethnic cleansing to me. The only difference is, it isn't the government doing it (I hope). I know there are War Criminals who are wanted by the UN and their member nations no matter where they go. I think it is time for a World Criminal. No matter where the wanted one goes, all nations must do their best to hand this person over to the UN/whomever or face excommunication from the member nations.

Sigh. I don't like Slashdot's version at all.

Your version of social interaction will not lead to the desired result of meeting someone; at least not a female someone. Think about whether you, as a grown adult, really want to lock hands with four other guys. It looks like a gay thumb-porn movie.

Your buddy seems wise beyond her years. Follow her advice.
