Take one persons site, he's got a picture of himself topless, and all the comments are like:

"ohh, ur sexy"

I just can't understand it, it seems so superficial.

Whereas here, you have a picture of yourself... in a wizard's hat.


I do agree with what you're saying though.

Yeah, its not the networking as such, as they way they do it. >_<

i have a facebook account, and myspace, and bebo and pretty much everything you could think of. i go on every holiday to add people but dont use them for anything else, i probably wouldnt even do that if i didnt get the emails.
my old headmistress (age 57 or something along those lines) has facebook :P

In that case Gladstone, I agree that some people are superficial and stupid, but we know that a fair proportion of people in the world are thick. So if you leave those people well enough alone, and have intelligent people as your friends, (those from BF, no doubt), then they can be ok. Can't stand myspace, myself, but facebook's ok. It comes down to who you have as your friends.

None of my real friends do that. Sure, some of the jocks/cool kids I know do, but it's just dumb and pointless, and they're not really my friends, just aquaintances.

Some of my teachers have facebook, just because they heard we were creating groups like "Mr ____ dances on a pole for Mr _____"

But they suspend people if you're caught for that, so don't do it :P
