The things people complain about really amaze me sometimes. Facebook isn't out to get you, dear people of America. It is a website. If you don't wish to know exactly what a person is eating right now or what they thought of 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs', then don't pursue this site. Stay away. Take a deep breath, and don't look back. To claim that your relationships are being ruined by a website is beyond ridiculous. Must have been a really rock-solid relationship to begin with. I realize that I'm being harsh, but I really get annoyed after reading articles and articles about how technology is corrupting America. Look around, we're already corrupted. And it took a lot more than a website to do that.
I admit that I spend entirely too much time on Facebook, but I think it's better than wasting time watching some dumb reality show on tv or doing nothing. I'm catching up with my sister in Tennessee, looking through pictures of that wedding I missed, and sharing funny memories with my friends. I don't see corruption in that. I'm not completely irrational, I see that the days of communicating in person are quickly fading, but it's not a tragedy. I spend a great amount of time, maybe even more than I would like, surrounded by people. I don't find the need to Facebook someone sitting next to me, because the ability to speak is not yet lost to the majority of the population. I think everyone needs to just take a deep breath and relax. If you like Facebook, use it. And if you don't, stay away.
