I avoid my real life friends and family online.

I don’t have this problem because I deleted my Facebook account over a year ago. Facebook initially was a fun way to keep in touch with old friends, but the Progressive Left destroyed it with their incessant propagandizing. I got so sick of “friends” posting pre-made memes from Leftist organizations praising Obamacare, calling Republicans greedy racists and on and on. I don’t think I would have minded it so much if these morons had taken the time to express their own opinions, but instead they would just lazily forward all these Leftist graphics and slogans and pollute my page with it.

Beyond that I realized that Facebook has become a do-it-yourself intelligence dossier so that Big Brother doesn’t have to put any effort into knowing who your associates and family are and what you’re thinking. Screw ‘em, they can read my FR posts if they want to know that stuff about me.

I have a few nieces who “air their dirty laundry” quite often on Facebook. Fortunately, they all have married names which are not the same as my own nor of their parents. I am embarrassed for my sister & brother-in-law(these are their girl’s and the relationship is known by many others on Facebook), and likewise embarrassed for each of the girls by their choice of language and comment content. They were NOT brought up the way the express themselves, nor are they young women. Guess Facebook and other social media outlets bring out a lot of people’s faults.
