Social networking and the downfall of us all

Anyone who knows me, know I loathe and abhor facebook. Here's my problem: I believe that facebook is the downfall of our society. Why you ask?? I'll tell you.

I understand the concept behind social network sites. Some are used for professional connections, such as linked-in, and some are used to connect people with common interest, such as daddaily. I think we have a lot to learn from each other. However, facebook on the other hand is out of control. Can someone tell me why they feel the need to post every minute of their lives? Do people actually care that you just woke up? Do people actually care that you just took the kids to school or just went to bed? They do?? WOW!! I wish that my life was so un-interesting and boring that I have to check and see what my friends are doing all the time. Personally, I don't care WTF everyone else is doing, and frankly it's no one else's business what I'm doing. My 3 concerns are my family, wife and son. The people posting these things come from EVERY walk of life. Husbands, fathers, wives, mothers, sisters and brothers. (here's where I link this post with my last one) If parents spend more time with their kids and less time on facebook MAYBE we can lessen the drug and under-age alcohol problem. Maybe we can raise kids capable of finding a cure for cancer. I'll tell you what, sitting in front of a computer and posting how much you enjoy a fire, will not accomplish much. There is actually a group of people who want married people to stay off Facebook because, believe it or not, social networks are a growing reason for divorces... wow go figure! I know too many people who spend too much time in front of Facebook and not enough time with their spouse or significant other. So here's my challenge spend less time on facebook, and more time with the ones you love..

have something to say about it.. I want to hear it!!!
