Facebook Ruins Lives

Well we can bring animals into here too.

We won't

Quoted for truth. Balance little girls, balance. If some of these people actually spent time dealing with real life, they wouldn't have the energy to wonder if Stacy is gettin it on with Bobby behind her boyfriend's back.

If I ever get insanely rich, I'll buy a huge mansion and invite everyone to live with me.

True, then it gratifies me and him. I like mutual stalking!

Well you two creeps go and have fun, don't forget to wear a hat to cover your ears, it's chilly out

Jedi have cloaks.....

Whatever works

Technicalities I'll be wearing my $600 Bape hoodie with a fedora

I'll be back here with the sniper rifle

lets just make an agreement that if any of us in this forum makes it big, we all get a mansion to live in....with seperate rooms. cuz i know some of you want to share

Oh baby

Actually, if I get insanely rich... I'll buy a Corvette and drive to California so I don't have to ever see you guys. Truth hurts

and then lose all your money in their POS economy. its a win/lose situation for ya.

Hate to break it to ya, but they still have internet in California

Except I wouldn't use the internet cause I would be on the beaches all the time

Why is that like one of the main dreams and wishes of most people? To be lounged on some beach every hour of the day doing nothing? That is one I just can't comprehend

and yes I've been to a beach before

Tanning, watching the babes, surfing, etc. It's awesome, and it sucks for you cause you're in a beach in Canada

Well, Canada has nice beaches, but on like the west coast. The water's very cold here in the east, but regardless, we have some nice beaches regardless of the water temperature

Do you swim in the water? Do you go old-man-ass watching?

Alright! I'm assuming you're in too.

I smell the smoke of a corrupted wish.... Nice burn!

Both. He probably offers free prostate exams too.

I can't swim and no, I don't go old man ass watching contrary to popular belief. I don't offer prostate exams either

LOL

Do you know what I do for a living now? Really, I'm being serious. (Not prostate exams, but in the same ballpark)

Of course it does... It's only my second day on that thing and I'm already addicted to it xD

(FYI. I skipped all these messages except a few others.)


Well, depends how you use it. Particularly, how often you go online and stuff like that.

It can really be addicting to a lot of people, so that is when it can ruin lives. but it can also do the opposite, take note.

Reading the topic might have helped as to defining the specifics and that we kinda covered that already, but I understand, it is 6 pages long ATM

I think that people who like Facebook are dumb (Including me) I think it has the potential to ruin lives

Facebook doesn't ruin lives. It's in inanimate, unliving website. People ruin their own lives.

That is true, however, had I not been on Facebook, the events that had occurred never would have happened

Data wrote:I think that people who like Facebook are dumb ...

So are people who like the telephone dumb? What about people who like to mail letters to people? What about people who like to talk to people? Are they all dumb as well? Just curious

What I mean is people who spend hours and hours a day on facebook, the difference between facebook and a telephone or face to face is it's not an actually conversation. It's not personal at all, no effort like in a letter all you do is type.

Oh naturally. So using a pen makes it more legit huh? And not an actual conversation? So we're not conversing now then? If not, than what are we doing? We're not talking, we're not listening, writing obviously is disqualified so what? What is this then?

I was getting ready for bed when i began thinking about the digital revolution and generation y (I am part of generation z). Generation y was the first generation to have the modern "web" this dramatically changed their lives. Suddenly they had this new technology and there was little knowledge about it. (NOTE: when i say "modern internet" i mean Instant Messaging, Social networking sites, Texting, etc.)
Generation Z is the first generation born with it. Whether we realize it or not our lives are entirely shaped by this technology. Because of that we simply write down our feelings. Less and less do we actually feel them. When we write our thoughts and see the text the text itself becomes the feeling. We no longer have the emotional depth to express ourselves. more and more people don't care. Foe many people if they have a fight they go on the internet and say something like " Just had a fight. I am very sad", but usually with more words. The person typing is usually thinking "I cat wait until somebody pittys me and writes a reply". Wouldn't the truth be " I just had a fight. Now I just want all of you to know that i had a fight. Now I would like to have a conversation so please write a reply. ;P" Why do we do this? why don't we go do something. Instead of living a world of false feelings why don't we go do something about this. By the next generation I predict that people will not care at all and face to face interaction wont be necessary to fill the social need. Unless this generation vows to change, Change may never happen.

At the end of the day we never actually see anyone, all we interperate as vision is phontons of light at diffrent energy levels, we never hear anyone why just turn, pressure waves in the air into sound so, there is never any human interaction, infact we are not really human were just an arrangment of atoms in a specific order which just so happen to have self awarness

There we go, someone knows what they're talking about! And I do believe I am Generation Y as the net was invented I think, but it was still only for like military use and whatnot, but I can remember when things like IM became available and when the public could begin to create and customize their own content

I feel like I'm a Z.

Man, when I read that I sighed in awe. I feel exactly as you do!

I liked what you said about the pity posts. So true. And sympathy doesn't really help us resolve issues. Often, it's just a waste of time.

: DJ adds Leach to his list of "Non-Idiots That I Like":

Yeah, the pity posts are common, hell I even do them, well not so much anymore really.

Well, I refute what I said. Facebook indeed does ruin lives.

She kills her baby over fucking Farmville??? Really? Faith in humanity has gone down 20 points.

Well...I think that settles that

That's ridiculous though, people really are the worst thing to happen to this earth

Nope. Facebook is.

Facebook wouldn't have been invented if people didn't exist, so Facebook is ultimately the result of people

So the Big Bang/God is to blame for humans?

No an asteroid with some micro-organism is.

But the Big Bang (/God) was the origin of the asteroid.
