On top of that, I've sent messages to people there and never heard a peep back, so it's like what use is it? Even as bad as DMs have become on Twitter, people seem more likely to reply to a direct message on Twitter than a private message on Facebook. I only posted the <i>one</i> conspiracy video!!! LOL. Seriously, though, I do know of one guy--not on Facebook--but on his blog, and WHOA! I mean, I read some of the conspiracy theory stuff, but some people are way, way out there. Way out there. Way far out there. <blockquote>Another thing I think is crappy is when people complain about their significant others or siblings on there.

It's bad enough when they complain to all their friends, but, online, do they realize how many people see that? I see what’s going on and, usually, it’s not much.

I have to admit though I post less and less personal stuff and just check out what my friends are up to or play Bejeweled Blitz. I no longer "farm" or "farkle" and I don't send hearts or hugs or mug people or whatever else those stupid applications want. Lately I get kind of turned off by being there because of seeing people fight on their walls or post really wacky off the wall stuff. Like recently found out someone I know is somewhat delusional and really into conspiracy theory videos on youtube. It's either drugs or the person is mental... I am not sure why people think it is okay to fly their freak flag online??? Another thing I think is crappy is when people complain about their significant others or siblings on there.
