Gina's reaction to "Pros and Cons of Social Networking"

By Gina:

       

         Social networking has made it easier to stalk, harass, intimidate, and meet people.  I can’t even talk about Myspace because, who uses it still? Facebook has gotten ridiculous. Facebook has made it easier for my friends and I to stalk ex-boyfriends and their new girlfriends, old friends, and people we hated in High School.  I will completely admit that I do Facebook stalk when I am bored!  I also enjoy making fun of people’s status and pictures.

                Facebook has become a way that we can tell each other, mostly people who don’t give a shit, about our every move! We all have that one friend that MUST check in at every place they visit! It has become an epidemic! I have one friend that’ll write “Bobby Evans has checked in at CVS Pharmacy,” “Bobby Evans has checked in at Applebee’s,” “Bobby Evans has checked in at his bathroom,” and there is always a comment, “taking a monster deuce.” I don’t need to know your every move Bobby Evans, especially when your last status update said, “I hate when people stalk my shit.” I have a solution Bobby… DON’T CHECK IN EVERYWHERE YOU GO!

                The great thing about Facebook is relationships. You know you are in a fully committed relationship when it is Facebook official. Yes, ladies it’s that cute gut feeling we get when we see that we need to confirm our relationship with our boyfriend. It’s also that disheartening feeling when they deny our Facebook relationship request. But, if we are lucky enough to have a man who requests to make it official; we tell all those bitches who we think want our man, that he is ours! J

                Facebook has also made getting to know someone easier. Ever meet someone at a bar and get asked, are you on Facebook? I have. Facebook is way to know someone without taking the time out to know them. We can their pictures, status updates, friends, their wall… if they are a creeper and have pictures of kitties hanging from trees, and you know they are weirdos.  

                Moral of the story, Facebook is a bitch. It can make or break a relationship, friendship, and even end a relationship before it gets started. If your relationship can stand the tolls of Facebook, it’s meant to be. But please Bobby Evans, STOP WRITING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, I DON’T CARE!
