ORIGINAL: coyotehunting i got to looking at my emails, and apart from the obvious scammers, almost every single would-be slave has no parents or living siblings. now i find that just strange. i probably know over 100,000 people through my work and travel, and of that number, apart from people in my age group, 50+, precious few have no living parents or siblings, (making adjustments for only child people i have met) does anyone else find it strange that so many would-be slaves are orphans? I find it incredible that, even at 55, you know 100,000 people. This suggests that (assuming you started actually aggregating friends in the real world at age 18....you being 55) you would have met a new person (and become friends with) 1 person every 30 minutes for each of the (average) 14 hours you were awake for 36 years, Monday through Sunday, 365 days each year...holidays, etc.. Of that number (100,000) to be able to discern how many had ANY kind of familial relationships.....well...it's rather remarkable actually. If you were 473, I'd still find it astounding (which, by the way, would have given you exactly enough time to meet {and get familiar with} 1 person...every 2 days, weekends included, holidays as part of the batch. I'd also find it equally astounding, at 473, that you could even see the keyboard, let alone know how to find CollarMe.com. Now.....just in case you actually were around 473 years ago (1539), I'd ask only this: Were you friends with any of these people?: http://www.historyorb.com/date/1539
