Don't worry, once a major apocolypse happens people like that will be too stupid to survive, and only those with brains and capability will exist long enough to carry on the human gene pool. Bright days to come my friends.
You Don't Exist if You're Not on a Social Network

14, and I couldn't care less about facebook. Then again, I'm a social outcast with completely different views from my peers, so...
So wait, now you don't have a life if you're NOT in front of your PC all day? Well, that just goes to show you how arbitrary that line is and everyone who ever used or thought of using the possession of a life as an insult should be ashamed! 
On a separate note, social networks are fine if you wanna look at pictures of young girls and rate em I suppose...but I don't have time for that, I spend too much time online as is. If it's the same world they exist in I'd rather not exist. I'd rather exist in a world where things I consider cool matter as much as I think they should and ignorant folks deserve the fate of not comprehending their greatness.

"Scene Kids: Hey Bill, where was you yesterday?"
"Me: I was on the internet all day."
"SK: You need to get out more man. You can't sit on the computer all day, you need a life."
Now:
"Me: Hey, just got done work, wanna hang out?"
"SK: They saiyz teh mean/stupid things on teh social networks! My life iz ruined/controlled by tehz drama!!! I iz a hollowz shellz of miys formar self/a social poser!"
Same thing happened with weed around here. It started with a few street kids messing around with it, but they where somewhat responsible and had some common sense, enough not to get caught or attract attention/heat. As soon as this new generation scene kids started trying it, everything went to hell.

"Me: I smoked some stuff with these kids, it was pretty good."
"SK: Wow, cool. I'd never try it myself. Maybe cigs or drinking, but not pot."
Now:
"Me: Whats up."
"SK: HeeeEEey MAN...do you know where I can get some weed?"
"Me: No, I don't. Don't even fucking talk to me. I can't walk home from my friends house at night now or visit the park down my street because of all the fucking prick cops. I can't go anywhere without worrying about cops, just because I know you, you dumb fucks.

I must say, when I tell people I don't have a facebook(nor have I ever had one) I absolutely love hearing their excuses. They range from like "Oh, I only use it sometimes" to "I don't really go on it anymore" and "I only play games on it!" It's quite fun that people feel the need to defend having a facebook; I find that sad as well... I agree with you Chuckey, I believe that this is where things might be headed with children. I hope for sure that it is not, but children are children, we cannot hope for them to be smart. However, those excuses on the Yahoo page are complete and utter bullshit... "It forces me to..." "I have to..." "It makes me..." etc. No, it doesn't. Period.chuckey said:
...What?Rastien said:
Umm, ok. Took me a minute to get it.
I don't flip out on people like that. It's just these kids in particular, they're fucking dumb. You'd understand if you've met them, or the local cops.
I hope that has something to do with...whatever your talking about.
Yeah pretty much was trying to be vague but to cut to the chase, i smoked for awhile and suddenly some old friends from school who i never really hung out with are into it and i get the odd phone call asking if i have anything.
But the way they are behaving around town is retarded and its been commented on by other friends and people in the community so im trying to dis associated myself with this people.
TOPIC DERAILED
But yeah i cba with social networking sites these days, they cause so many shitstorms over nothing its unreal. If you think its just teens you must be joking 2 of the blokes i work with won't speak to eachother as their other halfs are in a huff because one of them unfriended the other one.
I am not joking... these guys are 35 year old blokes and there respective other halfs of the same age.
The fact that something like facebook has such large soscial implications in the real world is kinda sickening. Also no one is themselves on face book its a farce, people present themsleves on facebook as what they perceive themselves to be and how they want others to view them. At the end of the day, no ones lives are as exciting as they make out on facebook.
Accept me of course im the batman.

Lol, I'm dumb.Rastien said:
Well, I still don't like how connected everything is. Like you said, an idle comment, something taken out of context etc can turn into a massive storm. The Internet is no longer an anonymous refuge, and comments are starting to become like official statements. Greater and greater responsibility is placed on the poster to justify anything he or she states. Which would be fine, but the Internet is not a letter to your congressman, or a senior thesis. Increasing libel suits have made it clear the fun, jokey style of internet posting is dying, replaced by stiff, boring, overly-wordy legalese.
As someone who wants to major in technical writing, the last thing I want to read is more crappy technical documents written by people who can't write.
Very true, and quite depressing at the same time, we seem to be at a point where people want to have a profile to give an illusion of how cool they are and often expand the truth perse but as soon as anything upsets them on their profile they get all up in arms.
Also with facebook people will rarely be honest about whot they are for fear of the social implications of having a group turn upon them, and you end up with a intresting pecking order where some people can get away with outlandish comments but the if someone else were to make a similar statement they come down on them like a ton of bricks.
We should David Attenborough up this shit and do a study on groups on facebook :3 got me a tv documentary to make afk.
