Wrong. You cannot choose your friends; you can only choose to whom you are a friend. For example, I can choose to be a friend to southerncook and/or WayneT, but I cannot choose to make them my friends.

Wrong! If people wish to be your friend, you can choose to accept them or not to accept them as friends.

Wrong! You must have never heard the phrase, "anonymous friend." If you don't know who they are, you can't reject them, at least not without rejecting all anonymous friends. On about my 8th birthday, I found an envelope with money in my mailbox. All it said was, "Happy birthday!."
