The More You're Up On Social Networks...

[McClain]

The more you realize that:

Conspiracy theories are real
Robots with AI are closer than you think
Religion is hilarious
We'll soon be able to prevent/cure anything
All countries are fucked up - USA gets the most global press
Some people have an unhealthy amount of time
Furries are real
The internet killed/saved the world

[Tadao]

That's socialism.

The more I'm up on social networks, the more I hate them.

Comrade Kitty will have your head for that comment against the party of the people!

I would just like to add that for the sake of the argument I'm not speaking solely of the Myspaces and the Facebooks, but also the Diggs, Twitters, Reddits, 4chans, YouTubes, etc.

P.S. Pandora is the only thing that keeps me sane during the day.

I learned most of this in Jr. High and we didn't even have the internet. Accept for the last one of course.

That's a played out buzzword. Find something new. Listen to less pundits IMO.

[Tadao]

Some of you are far to young to remember, but my social network used to be D&D or drugs.

I agree. I have family all over and they love facebook and my space. They think it is the only way to stay connected. Makes me wonder what happened to the phone, email, snail mail and just the simple joy of driving somewhere for a visit.

[McClain]

Maybe I should change the title of this thread? I'm not speaking specifically of NETWORKING sites but social NETWORKS.

No one learns anything that important from networking sites aside from others top 25 favorite smells.

[Tadao]

Ironic

[kahljorn]

do you mean conspiracy theories are real in that, ie, 911 was really orchestrated by our government and the illuminati or that people actually write them and adamantly believe in them?

cause if its the later i totally understand that shit ;o ;o

[MetalMilitia]

These sound like think you realised as a result of using Social BOOKMARKING sites. Hope this helps.

[MarioRPG]

Speaking of which, where's the love for cinnamon? :lol

[Evil Robot]

Is it me or are social network sites nothing more than image hosting services with message boards?

[ZeldaQueen]

Nothing up on marinara sauce and baking cookies! :love

I stay away from Facebook and Myspace solely on principle. I think they're ridiculous. I also hate how it was virtually the only method of communication between people in high school. The president of the AFC insisted on making a Facebook account for our club so we could remember what events we had planned (half of the stuff never even happened). I missed the spork event because they only announced it on Facebook (didn't even throw random handouts in the stairwell). I hate that site. >:

[Kitsa]

I hate facebook and am constantly mystified by the fact that people I never got along with in school keep trying to add me. What's that all about?

[Evil Robot]

You know what I like? EBAY. Back when I was a Roman (yes, I am thousands of years old thanks to a pretty one-sided deal I made with satan) I would have simply purchased the people I hate. I could then have them executed for breaking my fine crystal glasses.

[kahljorn]

I'm still roman. Don't you know, the empire never ended. We are still in the iron prison. SIXTY YEARS AGO MARKS THE DEATH OF CHRIST.

Maybe those people have alternate personalities over the internet? :\

Another stupid thing about Facebook is that it's another chance for the kids in school to get caught doing stupid things like underage drinking or setting a garbage can on fire or something. You'd think if you did those things the last thing you'd do is put pictures of it online. Oy. :rolleyes: Plus, isn't it common knowledge now that employers look at potential employees' Facebook and Myspace accounts to make sure they weren't up to mischief? Or was that colleges that do that? Anyway, it's stupid.

[Evil Robot]

YUM brands (KFC) caught a bunch of employees bathing together in a sink meant for cleaning chicken. They had posted the pictures online and even gave them tags that linked them to the store they worked in.

[ZeldaQueen]

Yeah, but that's them posting pictures of someone else. If you're going to post pictures of stupid/illegal stuff, don't be in the picture yourself.

[Tadao]

I LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY.

[Sam]

THAT REMINDS ME OF THIS ONE TIME

[ZeldaQueen]

I LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY.
I shudder to imagine... :shocked

[TheBigMan045]

thanks to my ability not to get photographed my wild antics dont end up on Fagbook

[Kitsa]

I love the whole circle-and-sniff atmosphere of facebook. People you barely know add you, and then...nothing. I almost fell into the trap after a bunch of distant acquaintances added me, but luckily I came to my senses.

You get that on other websites also. I've got a ton of people on my friend's list on this other site I belong to, but I don't really care. They don't bother me and it's not like you can get into any mischief on the site. Also, my family and relatives are either not technologically savy at all or don't care what I do, so I don't worry much about online spying.

[pac-man]

So yeah, facebook can give you cancer.

[Kitsa]

I'M WAY AHEAD OF IT SIR

[Geggy]

If you look past all of the things that you find annoying about facebook, you'll see that it's beneficial in a lot of ways. Without it, I wouldn't have discovered 25 new ways to cook food with eggplants.

That's a specious example. :\

Right. Like worrying about the township's police going tricking you into adding them to your friends list so they can spy on you (this perk only works if you're still underage).
