You are totally right, this wasn't maybe the intentions when it all came about. But social media has more cons than pros IMO

Social media is like welfare. Intended to benefit the masses but easily corrupted by a few.

FB isn't destroying society alone, millenials are.

Yeah, older Americans were scared of the hippies in the 60s/70s, too. America survived that.

Great point. But I do think FB and such plays a huge role in their views of entitlement

Computers in general are ruining everything. Now nobody knows how to cursive or long divide, and they just tinder to fornicate. Lazy bastards.

Thats a cliché statement and it's not true. Unfair treatment, illegal practices and nonsense have all declined in the height of "this might end up on the web"! Thats a fact. We're just now realizing how trashy and fricked up our nation really is.

What the devil's goin' on
Why don't your turn that music down
You're going deaf and that's for sure
But all you do is scream for more

Get the lead out go for broke
Pop your pills and drink and smoke
Shoot those chemicals into your vein
Anything to ease the pain

And before that you had to club her in the head and drag her back to your cave. Life was so much simpler then.

Once again, you prove why old people ruin everything. FB went downhill once people w/o .edu emails were allowed to join.

I thought about this with the Orlando shooter. He was supposedly all over different radical sites and social media outlets fueling his bullshite. 25 years ago he would just have to be angry and pissed off all by himself or in a very small group. Today, he had the entire world at his finger tips.

Not to mention the most entitled people in the workforce tend to be the old farts by a WIDE margin

Holy frick....are some of you really getting to the point of saying "the internet is a bad thing. That's why he did this shooting". I've heard it all now.
