Who cares?
God Save the Queen!
I agree with her 100%.
They actually took the time to be angry about somebody’s opinion of social networking?
LOL..
I agree with her too. But here I am posting about it on FR...
Me, too.
(BIG GRIN!) I was going to say exactly what you just said, in slightly different words.
I don't.
Without the internet ad places like FreeRepublic, Tea Party blogs etc, conservatives and the Tea Parties would find it a heck of a lot more difficult to get together, organize and hit back at 0bozo and the Democrats, and organize effectively and swiftly.
If you live in liberal enclaves like San Francisco for example, and you were a conservative, you'd feel you were living on Mars, if not for conservative sites on the Internet where you can bond with similar minded, like thinking people. The Queens needs to get off her high horse, get out of her palace m,ore often, and get with the program.
I wonder what it’s like to have nothing better than that to be pi55ed off about?
So, 4chan is a good thing? Well, nothing against Anonymous, personally, but I don’t think I’m going to be inviting them over to the house for jalapeno shooters and fig bars anytime soon. The would probably duct tape my dachshund to the ceiling fan and scratch my Wayne Newton CDs.
Sharing news and activist activities is different than putting your life on a blog, and the internet being ones only social interaction. There are some who have carried it to an extreme.
When St. Maartens got clobbered by a hurricane 10 years ago the Queen’s message to her island subjects was suck it up and stop whining.
True.
But then the Dutch Queens is a making a sweeping generalization.
Teenagers use the social networks more than anyone else, and they socialize in real life more than anyone else as well. The social networks merely add another element to their social lives, rather than replace their social lives.
Queenie, you are just wrong. Thank God for cell phones and text messaging, and social networks. It fosters closeness.
LOL! My daughter set up a facebook page for me about six months ago. I could care less and never go there. One interesting note, an old boyfriend looked me up and has been trying to establish contact. I just ignore him, he’s a cheater who has been married at least twice. I’ve been married to the same man for 28 years.
It’s the younger generation that live on camera on the internet and plaster their personal lives all over. It takes the place of real interaction and replaces it with exhibitionism. It also reinforces a selfcentered outlook.
“Anger greets Dutch queen’s Christmas message.”
Ah, what Christmas message??? ;-)
I don’t use Twitter. I use FRitter.
I use it to tell the world what I’m doing at random points in time.
Right now, I’m lying on a couch with my laptop on my belly. I’m typing. I have a slight headache. I hear the washing machine. It sounds like it’s pumping out the wash water; I expect that in 30 seconds or so, it’ll go into a spin cycle, after which it will start letting in pure water for the rinse cycle.
The lights are low. I hear people talking upstairs.
All in all, I feel pretty good.
Why didn’t she deliver the message personally to everyone she wanted to communicate it to? /sarc
Not true.
The younger generation have as much real social interaction as ever. They just blend it/enhance it with internet and other kinds of interaction. It's just the march of technology used to enhance life. It's been going on for eons. Back in the stone age, people could only "socialize" with the neighbors in the nearby caves, because they couldn't easily physically reach those that were only say 10/20 miles away. Transport and communication technologies changed all that. Nothing new here.
