Cliques

As I see it. When a child is in school if they are shunned the blame lies with the teacher first and the principal secondly.

As we grow to adulthood, we choose friends whose company we enjoy which is not defined as Cliques but "Friends". 

I belong to a club with 160 members and I like all of them but when I choose to do things independently, we may go to dinner in a group of 25.  Here we laugh, sometimes too loud, and have even been thrown out of a restaurant or two but that's the way boat people are.  

There seems to be a lot going on at Soup using the word Clique. I think, in this circumstance, everyone has people they communicate with more than others but that simply means they have more things in common. Just my opinion...

Well if you want to get tossed out with us you "gotta" turn around and tell the MAÎTRE D' "We've been thrown out of better places than this!"
