Do you add people on facebook you don't talk to?

[Maelstrom]

I have around 150 friends on facebook and I don't hang out with any of them. The majority are people I know from school or from camp. Why the hell are they requesting me if they never have the intention of talking to me? I don't get it. I add them so I don't offend anyone but I think its pointless.
Any ideas?

i have about 300-350 friends. most are people from school or relatives or acquaintances in some way. who cares if its pointless? maybe you might want to talk to them someday or ask a question. facebook is a good site because you can connect with relatives, and old friends.

I accept friend requests from people like that. Then I wait, and if they never talk to me or comment on any of my stuff, I just go through and delete them after a while. Most people like that will have no idea who is missing from their friends list even if they do happen to notice that their friend count has gone down.

because they want to snoop around. They want to find out more about you.

haha i have the same amount of friends you do. i mean i used to talk to them once or twice because i knew them from somewhere like school, camp, or a vacation. but i guess it's a way to get in touch just in case or maybe to have friends on facebook. but there are a lot that are really close and i probably talk to a lot though.
