Is the downfall of society. Seriously.
Prior: the average "Joe" or "Jezzel" had they're opinions of social issues that only came out at a family or party gathering.
Now, everyone can instantaneously post they're opinion, worldwide, and every jackass can reply.

There was a reason why Jeb in southern Alabama had his views and Joe in northern Wisconsin has his. Now it's all mixed up and anyone can have instant gratification to post they're views anywhere.

Wonder why "Mericans" can't compete worldwide in business ie: manufacturing? How many working man (women) hours are wasted each day with YOU on the company PC or your personal device during working hours wasting productive time? Millions............millions of hours a day......wasted

We deserve what is coming, and it's going to hit the masses like a tidal wave.

Media's fanning the flames too. Both sides. Getting old and predictable. Active shooter situation tonight in mall North of Seattle. Several "Breaking News" moments on CNN tonight, but have nothing to do with the Mall shooting...but covering Charlotte curfew and protest updates.

Meanwhile, 3 shot dead at the Cascade mall in Burlington, WA.

Journalism is dead period. They will show you what they want you to hear or see, not what is factual.

It's a bummer. If you let it be a bummer.

My gf and her mom are almost becoming too scared to go anywhere.
Hillary is gonna stroke out.
Trump is gonna start ww3.
BLM is gonna take over every major city.
They're gonna privatize Social Security and it's gonna go bust.

Me, I'm planning a month or so surf fishing down the Florida Coast this winter.
And I'm the crazy one.

Facebook has gone to shit, I keep it to so I can keep in touch with riding buddies around the country. Everyone is a fuckin political analyst these days (and they mostly suck at it).

You get that one too from the family? Oh my we are all up a shit creek and the world has gone mad.

I don't know but I have been in 18 countries counting layovers this year and I think this 3rd rock from the sun is kick ass. Then again I don't stay glued to Fox, CNN, MSNBC or any of those news channels.

Good luck on the fishing trip. I gotta pack for Kuala Lumpur F1.

It really depends on who your friends are. If they become too much to bear cut them loose.

getting burned out on social media.
I complained about this to my friend and he taught me how to use incognito mode google on my phone, search up free porn via tumbler. This was bad ass for about a week until I accidentally ran across some gay shit. I'm still damaged.

I only have people on FB that I actually know. It's not so bad. Can't believe all the friend requests I get from strangers.

Yep.
No matter what you believe, you can find something on the interweb that "proves" it's the truth.
I used to joke and say pics or it never happened. That's not true anymore either.

I just started on facebook about a year ago. I couldn't take the politics so I installed this browser plugin called "F.B. Purity". Now I don't see any posts about Hillary or Trump. Soooo nice! Smile

I have under 100 people on FB and they're all people I've met at some point in my life... I still find my self deleting people here and there. It too easy to compare your self to other people over that shit, trying to get my gf to realize that.

It gives and it takes away. I am pretty sure we are better off than in the days where you had 3-4 news channels controlling the information.
In my day it was TV that was going to turn us into mindless zombies. At least the Internet is interactive and more participatory.
