Top 5 ways to end a friendship

1. Talk about how much you make per month.

This is a tough one. The way it works is simple. People like to have pride in their work. They also like to think that others don’t work as hard as they do. So when you talk to your friend about how you make 20 k  an month to move boxes from point a to point b, and he makes15 k an month to shovel horse manure, it makes the person feel like crap. So keep money to yourself, and that leads to number 2.

2. Never loan money out.
I know that everyone falls on hard times, myself included. The one thing that I know for certain is that if you loan money out, no matter how small, can crumble a friendship if it never gets paid back. That one is from experience.

3. Talk religion.
The fascinating thing about our culture is our diversity. Some believe in God, others believe in karma, some believe nothing. Talk about that, and your on your way toward the exit sign

4. Talk politics.
With the primary elections finally coming to an end, and starting out in the next leg, its really hard not to talk politics. It is very hard to do though. 22 percent of people in the exit polls said that race played a role in their voting. Remember that only half the people tell the truth coming out of those exit polls, so its more like 44 percent. And that leads us to our next topic.

5.Never talk about race.
Again, we are a very diverse people, and that is terrific that we can look beyond ethnic or social boundaries and see people for who they are and not what they are. This is a rough subject because of the fact that there are still people that have a hard time just keeping their thoughts in their own head.

There you have it. If I forgot anything let me know, These are just my own personal top 5. !!
