So everyone who frequents Facebook is fat and friendless, yet I know hundreds of people who are examples of that not being true...I think you're spiteful toward the site for one reason or another, and need to take a step back and a deep breath and judge it once more. Currently, your views are whacked and totally unrealistic.

I was taking the piss out of myspace and facebook, but think you must have known that anyway


I didn't mean 'everyone' in a literal sense but I know alot of people that sit in doors talking to frinends on facebook instead of actually going out and doing anything. I think it is unhealthy for society for people to be so hooked up on a site such as facebook. Proper social skills will eventually start to diminish because of it.

I know of some instances where facebook has been used for good causes, such as petitions and charity work. But there are other areas that I find it to be a negetive impact on society. I don't expect anyone to agree to that because most people I know are swept up by this fad, I seem to be the only sane person.

It used to be everyone actually talked to each other. Neighbours knew each other. It was quite common for mosy people in a village to know eveyone else or for everyone on an entire street to be aware of each others existence. Now people seem to completely know nothing about the people they live with/near, people are to distracted talking to digital friends. Social interactions are becoming less personal real life as media seems to be turing people in a different direction at least that is my experience of where I live. My view anyway. I don't expect you to understand that

The only people I have on my Facebook friends list are people that I know personally, my family, and people I went to school with who I humor by staying in touch with. I interact with my friends in real life all the time, so much that I'm with them more than I am at home. We actually coordinate these get-togethers through Facebook because it's convenient and easier than texting everyone I know.

You make Facebook seem like some sort of content to see who can have the biggest friends list. That really isn't the case. I mean, sure there are some people who are trying to increase the size of their e-peen, but the truth of it is that the majority of people don't use it in that way. In fact, every once in a while, I like to go through and trim my friends list because there are some people on there that I don't really care about anymore, and they no longer have business in my personal life.

I upload my pictures to Facebook because I know people actually do give a damn. Maybe you can go off and acquire a friend list of 2,000 people who don't give a flying [censored] about what you did last Thursday night, but you see, I actually do these sorts of things with my real friends who happen to be my Facebook friends. Shocking that such a thing can occur, eh?

And what's wrong with the term social network? It's a fitting term to describe what it is, a network for socializing. Ergo, that means it is a network with social aspects attached to it, or simply put, a social network.

I'm going to make the assumption that you simply have a lot of hatred for something that you've never even tried or even care to learn about in any great extent. By your MyFace comment, it seems like you're still living in a world where you assume everyone around you still thinks MySpace is relevant the least bit relevant, or that it could even be compared to services like Twitter, Facebook, or Google+. It's a pretty dated joke, it would seem. Like making some sort of joke about the Netscape browser, which no one uses anymore, so the humor is just lost.

I suppose I have responded to your rant with a rant of my own, but dear god, get off of your high horse and actually learn more about what it is you actually claim to hate so much.

For more reference, I have a grand total of 92 Facebook friends. Of those friends, 35 of them are friends I hang out with on a regular basis, 25 are people I just went to school with but like, 9 are friends of friends I hang out with occasionally but not at my choosing, 8 of them are family, 5 of them are neighbors, 4 of them are coworkers, 4 of them are siblings of friends, 1 of them is a really old childhood friend, and 1 of them was an awesome student teacher I had once in school. Only one of them lives in another country (all the way in Canadia, eh?), and I still manage to have some friends who are both female and attractive.

Guess what? This forum is a form of social networking. Only difference is that here you're talking to thousands of people who you've almost certainly never met.

Have you ever had to invite a large number of friends to something? It's a pain in the ass to even text 10+ people, much less call them. Create an event on facebook and your good to go.

Technically, it doesn't matter how old you are. You can play any game you want. The ESRB rating is a guideline/warning for parents on the content of the game.

lol

Someones a wee bit judgemental and ignorant....


Also, forums are social networking.
