I came home drunk once and added everyone I could find who I ever went to school with. I figured if everyone else can do it, why shouldn't I? Woke up the next morning to a barrage of 'Islam OUT', 'IF R FLAG OFFENDS U I WILL HELP U PACK' group joinings and a terrifying echo chamber of bigotry in the comments. What's worse is it was a little bit before the General Election so I got to witness the most brilliantly ill-informed political discussion possible, all centered on finding out who was most likely to round up "the pakiz" and whether they should throw them out or just summarily shoot all of them for treason. These kids are all in their early/mid-20s now, from the whitest town you have ever seen, and work in all walks of life. It's slightly terrifying.

A friend of mine devotes his entire Facebook wall to espousing his support for the Republican party and how terrible the Democrats are before denying he is a Republican. As an English I do not understand this but boy do I find it hugely annoying. Every time Obama sneezes there's a comment that maxes out the character limit followed by at least five comments expanding on his point. I have his status updates turned off but sometimes I go look. Other people who get updates turned off are people who won't shut the gently caress up tagging their significant others in every single update they make banging on about how much they love them. Once or twice is cute, every loving minute of the day is not. Yes I am bitter and single. Also obligatory 'joke' BNP political views.

 WILLIAM UPDATEquote:How do I feel?...Well I always have and will continue to hate this generation. The 1990s and this generation are all about this "Party, sex, drugs, drinking" - everything else that has ruined this once-great planet. I would have to go get my list but I do not feel like it...... I suppose the 1930s is rather fitting. I do love Music an...d the way things were from the 1920s - '80s, I have always said that I have wanted to live through the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s , I still pray to this day knowing that I have to live through this generation where there is no true love, there is no real Music. There is nothing....... But to me oldies will never die, I can say I am quite satisfied with this outcome...I do, however, think the '70s would have been more fitting though... All this from a quiz telling him he best fits in the 1930's. The best is him saying how "this generation is nothing but parties, sex, drugs, and drinking" but goes on to say how the 70's is a greater fit for him. Still working on getting those stories but he's dragging his feet.

Marx's writings were banned by the Reich and millions of Soviets and various other leftists were killed in the Holocaust by that sosh'list scumbag Hitler. See how Joe spins that one. Most of my friends from high school subscribe to those wacko nationalistic philosophies too, like the 'RESPECT our flag and JESUS or GET OUT of America' bullshit, or 'Make Drug Tests Mandatory for Welfare' (my dad, who nearly became paralyzed with back problems from work, would like a word with these assholes), or 'We Shouldn't Have to Press 1 for English' (I have never had to do this, it's always been 'oprima nueve para Espaņol'). Doesn't surprise me though. Even in a high school with a visible Black demographic, there was still a ton of thinly veiled racism.

The gestapo also hunted socialists and it's widely believed that the Communist who is alleged to have burnt down the Reichstag was a scapegoat set up by Goering. There have been many Left-wing dictatorships throughout history, there have also been many Right-wing ones. Pointing at either sides power hungry despotic natures is just disingenuous. Authoritarianism is just in a league of its own when it comes to tyranny.

I really, really miss the halcyon days of facebook circa '05/'06 sometimes. All your friends were just college classmates, no worries about your boss or family trying to friend you, you could post pictures of drunken escapades without worry of reprisal, and there weren't annoying newspaper/magazine articles every few weeks about "the social networking REVOLUTION!". But gently caress them for forcing you to do status updates in in the "So&So is..." format back then. Third person updates drive me up the loving wall (even worse when they blend third and first person in the same post). Now facebook is nearing this weird saturation point where the people that loved it in the early days are starting to loathe it, yet are simultaneously so entwined with it that it's not easy to just cut off cold-turkey, and meanwhile people of increasingly annoying demographics keep flocking to it. I love being able to keep up with my best friends who moved cross country all on one website, but also can't stand having to do poo poo like peruse my privacy settings to cherry pick certain people (e.g., my mentally retarded cousin who insisted I accept her friend request at the last family get-together) from seeing my updates. I think the worst, though, is when someone annoying friends you and then insists on commenting on everything you post. It's bad enough that your updates are terrible, don't contaminate mine too!

I never really got into MySpace but I do have a Facebook account which I check from time to time and I often wonder how long it will take for it to go down the same road as its predecessors. It seems like entities such as social networking sites and IM clients are used for a respectable amount of time and then are forgotten forever - accounts are abandoned to gather cyberdust while everyone jumps to the next big thing. I remember when everyone jumped ship from AIM to MSN, from Hi5 (which was pretty popular in the UK) to MySpace and so on. This is all pretty anecdotal but a few months ago a friend of mine deleted her Facebook and it seems a few other people are following with her. The amount of publicity Facebook and Twitter get are really something to behold, but I wonder if this is just a flavour of the month thing, Facebook is getting too popular (which sounds pretty ludicrous on my part I have to say - a social network site becoming too popular?) or will Facebook be around for decades to come. Looking at the trend though, I really don't see that happening.

The 30's too were full of parties, sex, drugs and drinking. Back then they used to just drop into the chemist for drugs too. In fact come to think of it people have been enjoying each in excess for as long as they've been invented for..

Unfortunately one of the worst people on my facebook is my sister, her appropriateness filter doesn't even work very well face to face let alone on the internet, which means I get to enjoy lovely status updates like: "Your sister is a fan of rough sex." She will also join and accept any and all invitations to all the terrible groups and apps. What's that dear sister? That criminal what was on the tv should be horrible tortured to death?
