Are facebook friends really friends?

I highly doubt it. According to me, facebook is a medium to keep in touch with people you know, and they neednt necessarily be friends. I have a list of about 90 friends and there are hardly a four or five people who really respond to my messages or comments. I do have a few people in my so called "FRIENDS" list, who would not even respond for personalized messages. My doubt is, if I am not so important or you dont value my time, why the hell did you respond to my friend request and in some cases, why did you even add me as your friend? It is seriously irritating me a lot. Why would people IGNORE others and still have them on their friends list?

In this time, I would like to recollect the memory of writing to Singer Chinmayee. I adore her and once I wrote a mail just to appreciate her and got a reply within a couple of days. Being the "immediate reply" kind of person I am, I thanked her for her email and looks like she was online that time and bang, she replied immediately. I dont mean to degrade my "FRIENDS", but honestly, I dont believe any of them are as busy as Chinmayee and if she could be so kind and responsive to someone she hardly knew, why wouldnt others have the same courtesy.

I am beginning to think that I hate the whole FACEBOOK stuff because of a few people:)
