In other news, people on Free Republic don’t give a damn what facebook has to say.
Well duh. The internet is the attention whore’s best friend.
I have 13,847,324 friends. Is that bad?
FB appears to be predominated by codependent narcissists (”I made meatballs for supper—yummy”) and voyeurs who seek TMI about their “friends”.
Same here. My issue with Facebook, is that its filled with narcisstic tripe and blather.
(Waaaaah) My day sucks (read: please give me a pity party)
(Waaaaah) My job sucks (read: I'm a lazy slug who got talked harshly to by my boss, and I haven't grown up enough to deal with it like an adult)
Or
(Waaaaah) My job sucks (read: I'm a lazy slug Obama voter, that hates working for a living and am pissed that my Obamabucks haven't arrived yet)
YAAAAAAY!!!!! My daughter, Moon Unit just one the preliminary basket weaving competition in her Girl Scout troop. Next week she faces 3 more girls. If she wins that, she might qualify for district, then regionals, then area, then state semifinals, then state, then national regional, then national semi finals.
I wonder if basket weaving is an Olympic event? I'm sure my Moon Unit is good enough. (Read: I'm not now, or ever was good enough to accomplish anything, so I'm living vicariously through my children, that their successes will reflect on me. Please congratulate Me eerr...Moon Unit, on the great job I eerr...SHE did)
Most of this stuff would be fine within a conversation with a friend or a few friends. Instead, its posted for everybody (or at least 627 friends we have...most who are just people we "know" through sombody else) At this point, its not about communicating with FRIENDS, its about shouting to the world "look at me" and wanting the world to shout back "we see you", all under the guise of "friends".
Speaking of "friends", all these friend requests that people get, from people they barely know (or don't know), I think most of these are just to RACK UP the friend count.
"Hey look at ALL the FRIENDS I have."
"I must be popular."
"People must love me."
"Are you impressed with all the friends I have?"..."Don't you want to be my friend to?"
(read: Then your friends can become my friends, and my friends your friends...and then we'll be SuperCool...Yaaaay, Us"
That's All I have too say!
Facebook is a symptom of a culture gone mad with being famous ang getting into each others business, even MY friends wonder why I don't post "Just got done eating my cereal, U eva wonda how they get the flakes into those shapes!?!? LOL!"
I just don't get it.
The baby boomer tag line: “Hey man - let’s talk about ME!”
Anybody here remember when C.B. radio was the hot thing to have. It devolved into mindless drivel.
The “Facebook” of its day.
Lord, save us from “social scientists” and their mountains of horse manure.
