To accept or to decline?

We had an interesting discussion in Room 5 today - what do you do if someone you don't know asks to chat with you or be your friend online?  The video we watched (http://vimeo.com/18815761) said we should only accept friends we know in real life.  Some of us didn't fully agree with that.
However, we did all agree that, whatever you choose to do, it should be done only if safe, sensible and if you can change it.

Reasons to decline
You don't know them
It's not safe
They can be mean
You don't know who they are or why they are wanting to be your friend/chat

Reasons to accept
As long as you don't give them personal information, and as long as you can choose to block them or stop the chat.
You can meet interesting new people, including from overseas (like penpals)
You can make new friends with similar interests.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?  PLEASE COMMENT!

Number trick

Choose a whole number between 1 and 10.
Double it.
Add 12.
Subtract 4.
Divide by 2.
Subtract your original number.
Turn your number in to a letter of the alphabet (1=A, 2=B, 3=C,...)
Think of a country in Europe that starts with that letter.
Take the second letter of that country.
Think of an animal that starts with that letter.
