In short, I think you are making a huge generalization.

It's an established generalisation and I am pleased to hear that you seem to be using FB in the manner for which it was originally created.

You may, or may not know some seriously lonely people who actually have hundreds of 'friends' on this suprisingly mis-leading thing called Face(less) book, that convinces many that it is normal to share your life with total strangers.

Some. Most are from Pluto. Or at least I think they are by the way they articulate themselves.

This is a silly thread

My facebook hardly has any information about me aside from my name and some selfies.

The real danger is when you get ****ed up (like I do) and decide to try to chat up your exes.

Facebook exists because of and entirely relies upon the ego's of all the people that are gullible enough to put their entire lives out there for all to see. The corporations that extrapolate this information will use it to squeeze out as much money from those people as possible, and that is the sole purpose of the ones that oversee it.

There are some good uses for it though. Not many but some.

Based on your writings, Oxy, you seem to like to provoke people? Sadly, your posts are rather silly

Your opinion is as valid as anyone's Taxman, full respect to you.

What I do is stimulate debate about things we often don't give much thought to. Issues that concern people. Things that, perhaps need some alternative view?

What would be silly is if a major 'celebrity' (say David Beckham or someone like that) walked down the street with a pile of cabbage on his head, then within a few days there would be a million people doing the same.

So, to be honest, its about being slightly 'detached' and not so easily 'led'.

Which is what Face(less)Book doesn't like.
