Facebook is a plague.
If you think Hollywood gives voice to incompetent weirdos, Facebook gives a planetary megaphone to absolute doorknobs.
That and twitter. And the other one...MySpace (which is apparently dying, hooray!)
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Facebook (and its popularity) is really just a symptom.
The disease is the "look at me!" and "please like me!" attitude that has infected our modern society.
The rugged individualism that was the bedrock for the creation of America has been replaced with a herd mentality of "go along to get along."

The Net has done that in general.

Heh. I don’t do any of them. My parents didn’t do drugs in the ‘70s. My grandparents didn’t drink hooch in speakeasies.
I have a teenage sibling who isn’t allowed to twitter, and I’m thinking our next generation won’t be teleporting after 11pm either.
But at times it feels very...marginal.

Facebook is a plague.Facebook has done nothing more than replace the backyard fence, water cooler and coffee klatchs where people exchange gossip and trivia.

Interesting that just about three years ago My Space was the big deal and your right it has gone downhill in favor of Facebook.
Amazing that Rupert Murdoch bought it at it's height, he grossly overpaid and now is looking to dump it at a huge loss.
