I did capitalize the "S" in Some for that very reason, some.
Father K, I don't think Pangel has a mean bone in her body, let alone the thought of disliking anyone for long.

People in this section have given me really good advise. I have also received e-mails from people thanking me for my advise so yes, it' a rewarding section.
However I also have some good real-life friends and not all the people who participate in this section are tolerant. Some of them feel they have the one and ultimate truth, and do not show any love for their brothers.

In some ways....here there are no distractions like what people look like, or if they are rich or poor, what they do, if the kids are running around or the house is a mess.... It's just our thoughts meeting in space, in some ways that can make for "quality time" with others, we don't necessarily have a chance to have in the so called real world. I think there are alot of good people here, and enjoy meeting them.... :)
Dragon, I would say it's as "real" as anything else, just a different dimension that takes place more in the mind, than in the material world....

the word friendship and its true meaning for me is very important. to me a Friend a good friend has
more value than anything else. since i can remember from my child hood till now i have found
2 girlfriends and 5 guy friends. I am Armenian born and raise in Iran. Migrated to u.s.a .
Due to revolution in Iran me and my family moved and so are my friends and their families. Guss what we all found each other here and we still are the best est friends. and I also did find friends here which i love them all dearly.
Friends from work place, from Internet and so on.
that is why i believe there is still hope for human race. no matter which religion we all are, the point is there always will be arguments, disagreements with our friends,there is no question about that, now how to continue the friendship is the key issues.
So i think we all have to accept our friends with their right or wrong opinions no matter what because we love each other.
and also respect one another

Namaste. I find it a great blessing to be able to connect with people who share the spirit of my beliefs, and who have such beautiful ways of expressing the things that I feel, but aren't always courageous enough to say. I love the spiritual, thought- and love- provoking questions.
I have a very close bond with my big sister but since I have just moved house, she is now 1½ hours away, and soon she will be moving to another continent. It means a lot to me to connect with other people who care about humanity, and who think and feel deeply. Love to all.

Not pathetic. I talk to the people on here more than I talk to my friends. Most of the people I was friends with before I had Landon were from work. Now that I don't work we have lost touch. I need to get out and make some new friends but I don't really know how to go about doing that. So, for now, I like the people on here better.

I couldn't agree with you more. I've just recently been "aware" that I share more with my friends on Q&A, (different catgories)
than I do with many of my "real" friends. Perhaps that has something to do with "distances?" What an oxymoron that seems! But, I've seen so many reach out to those who ask for help, with all sincerity & caring. I have very special friends here. I wonder, is this not "real life" or just a "different" dimension/perception of it? It's very real to me. &--I almost feel that people are getting more kind, & gentle than they were for awhile. Recalls a question about whether "peace & love" can be contagious, that I answered. Yes. Peace & love to you, too.

I have found much depth and Love here and much misunderstanding and disunity "in real Life", I live and work in Saudi Arabia and find my Saudi colleagues can be a trial at times.
One Muttawa (Religious Cleric) continuously points out faults in my character and habits, (in some cases quite valid) and telling me that I am doomed to Hellfire, every time I approach him, his first question is always "When am I going to Convert to Islam..", I find his quiet certitude on this point refreshingly blunt, firm and earnest and his genuine concern for my fate interesting yet confusing.
I have mentioned my Buddhist Tradition and he was physically shocked, thinking me Christian as this is his perceptions of all foreign infidels, yet his genuine smile on greeting me and the genuine offer of Saudi coffee and dates is worth the effort of tolerating his misconceptions and closed minded efforts at converting me.
This place is an excellent Practise ground for Mindfulness, my other Saudi colleagues find many similarities between their Faith of Islam and mine in Buddhism and this makes for very interesting discussion.
There is quality of friendship everywhere, it only takes a little effort to accept and embrace difference, learning another's perspectives can be an interesting, enjoyable and very rewarding journey, even here in the Twilight Zone...
Peace from a Buddhist....

I like this question, but I'm going to answer 'no' for only one reason.
"Real life" friendships can be significantly less taxing, as there is a (physical) presence that they offer that online friendships rarely can.
What we have here is fun, and there is definitely a community atmosphere, but that vanishes the moment we stand up.
