Drudge called Facebook and Twitter the “Internet ghettos”.

[AFret.]

Row’Neshia and Treyonta?
Let me guess. 2 more Scrabble board names.

Reminds me of an old joke..on a hot day..”I’m sweating like an African-American trying to spell his name”..

I’ve had some dealings with Facebook. Discussions with their senior management.

Tried to get them to deal with an online predator who
was taking advantage of a relative. They could not have
been less helpful or responsible.

Trust me, Facebook is Evil.

Bell telephone lines?

Trayvontania.

Idiots.

[gundog]

drop scrabble letters onto the floor and then that’s the name?

Then flip a coin to see if prefixes will be used....Le-...Tre-, Sha-, for example.

[Larry Lucido]

And before that, it was smoke signals!

Social media is poisonous and reflects the general lack of personal values.

Sorry but that’s kind of ridiculous.

You’re blaming the ‘thing’ (social media) for the ills of the humans using. There is nothing inherently poisonous about social media, in fact, you are using an early version of social media (online discussion forums) right now.

Facebook is Evil.

Right now something like 60% of divorce petitions specifically mention Facebook.

Guns are evil.

Right now something like 60% of murders specifically use guns.

yes, I totally made up the stats. But you have to recognize you are using the same argument as the gun grabbers by vilifying the thing, not the person using the thing.

[Borges]

No it’s just a communication platform that people can use for whatever. If you got obscene phone calls you wouldn’t call telephones evil.

[Impala64ssa]

Years ago, murders resulted from fights started over the U.S. Mail
I remember a case in Texas back in the 70's when CB radios were all the rage two guys got into an argument on the CB airwaves threatening each other and agreed to meet somewhere and literally engaged in a duel, like Hamilton and Burr.

Yup. Don’t blame the venue, baboons
are going to babooniate in baboonery
wherever they assemble.

lol

D’Brickashaw on the Jets, that’s my favorite.

he’s good and i’m a jet fan, poor me, so i let it slide,

sheldon richardson, the cop hater, i hope he gets prison time for doing 159 with a kid and drugs in the car,

[Larry Lucido]

That’s a 10-4 good buddy!

“”drop scrabble letters onto the floor and then that’s the name?”

Must be some pretty strong stuff the parents are smoking when they pick out these wretched names. None of it makes sense... What we’ve been putting up with on FR for the past month with all the symbols and geegaws in place of letters makes more sense than any of the names in this article...

I have a SIL currently destroying a relationship (non-spouse) via FB. I just can't get my head around why people would do this.
