Who cares what your friends and family say about going to see them? I'm sure not all of them agree with you smoking herb, but you still do it, right? If you let friends/family dictate all ur decisions in life you might as well end ur life now, cuz ur not even livin my friend.
I know people who have done this multiple times and it was always a good time never anything bad happened.
I worked as a taxi driver for 2 months, during that time I spoke to a lot of big business people.. One of which was in the business "search engine marketing" what they do is put your business web page on the front page of the Google search(depending on what it is you're searching) In any case, this man went to college for political science and dropped out. He went on the internet and browsed business forums until he found someone who seemed to have the most bit of knowledge about whatever it was he was looking for at the time(the guy was in France, the guy I spoke to was from Maine) In any case the guy in France helped the guy from Maine out(via internet) until eventually they became business partners. their services can add up to 40,000 bucks and they met face to face like twice. We are heading into the future and knowing people on the internet is becoming more common everyday soo.. Why not?
