Sidenote: Facebook. The silent killer

These happen when there are no songs to convey my feelings. It'll happen now and then.

Raise your hand if you don't have a facebook. Wow. 2 of you? Thanks for proving my point.

We all have facebooks, and what are they really used for? Keeping in touch with people? no, we're in high school, the people we befriend on facebook are people we see daily. If anything the older generations have more use for it, they don't see all their buds on a regular basis.
We use facebook to make ourselves look good, keep in touch with others, stalk others, make others jealous, publicly announce things that, if you really wanted the person to know, you would have notified them in a more personal way, or they were actually at the event. and last but not least, creep people out.

There's many things you can add to a facebook profile, and all the things we add? Are to make ourselves look good. Perhaps you're not superficial, and the pictures you put on are of your friends and yourself. That's awesome, brownies for you good people. but for most of the profiles I see, it's millions of pictures and albums of themselves in many different awkward poses. Which brings us to stalking.
We all do it. You browse around your friends friends of people you sort of know or hear about. Looking at pictures, conversations, their ideas, their likes and dislikes, all that stuff. Facebook has become the reason the creeper population went up last year.

People have become obsessed with picture taking due to the fact that you can add said pictures and tag all who are displayed in it. the term "that's going on facebook!" isn't nonsense to us anymore.
Facebook is a great resource to all, and we can all keep in touch with those far away in a much more efficient way now. But other than that, it's a superficial, time sucking addiction.
