Another Social Media Experiment Gone Bad
Most people know I'm no fan of social media. On the news this morning, they had a story about two groups of people here in North Texas...one in Dallas and one in Allen (suburb north of Dallas) who got into a fight on Facebook Live. The Dallas group came up to Allen...four people were shot. No one killed that I'm aware of but...REALLY???
Way to go Zuckerberg! Give a voice to people who previously didn't have one. :spdchk: |
Isn't this akin to blaming McDonalds because your cholesterol is 5 billion?

How is that any different from any other argument that escalates to gunplay. You can have a fight on the street corner, schoolyard, a bar, or any other place. Hatfields and McCoys hurt each other a lot over stupid shit, and they had to travel between counties and two states to do it.
I don't think the problem is social media, but more about the character of the people that use it. Either way, for better or worse; it's here to stay. |

Anyone who takes the internet and social media seriously is a Fk'n idiot. :slap:

Social media HAS done some good, but it's my gut feeling that the bad far outweighs the good. |

Comparing this to mainstream social media is like comparing Golden Corral to Ruth's Chris. And yeah...I have 8000 posts. Over a period of 8 years. I have exactly TWO posts on my Facebook page in the last year. I don't have an account on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest or any of those other electronic timewasters. The only reason I keep my Facebook account open is on the remote chance that someone who I'd like to communicate with finds me there (which actually happened just recently with a cousin whom I'd lost contact with). I never post thoughts, opinions or rants on there and if I want to message someone, it's always via a private message. So not exactly using a lot of bandwidth on the internet. :spdchk: |
