add "disguised as love" and this has been around for centuries in the form of religion
In terms of "religion" I totally agree. Christ Himself spoke against religion.

Sure,while at the same time almost everyone PROFILES themselves,gives out their personal information(their location,work,likes,dislikes,who their friends are) then they post pictures of themselves that Facebook OWNS according to their agreement.Everything you say can be used against you....it's perfect for BIG BROTHER for databasing information while the user freely gives away all their personal information
or go in their homes and see their faces buried in computers posting on toy forums
True enough.....as you can see I used to a lot. Hardly do at all anymore. Even at that texting friends in moderation is fine, but when it keeps a family from talking to each other at the dinner table it's gone too far.
Bollocks. Anyone who understands history will note that society has forever been 'going down the crapper'.
Ask the black man what he thought about life in the '50s. Ask the woman who expected to be taken seriously in her chosen profession what she thought about it.
There are over 6 billion people on this planet, and the more complex and sophisticated a society becomes, the more challenged will be its traditions and interactions.
All this talk about conspiracies just shows how privileged some people can be. I've lived in a real autocracy and I know exactly what that looks like. People waxing lyrical about the threat to privacy and rights in modern, Western democracies
Actually, it's not a false statement that every generation is worse becaue it is. If you want to claim that today is just a different set of challenges be my guest, but I disagree. I also never claimed the 50s were a picture perfect society. I claimed it was on average safer and it was.
Simple fact is there is no perfect system or government on this earth. Every system has its faults and shortcomings, but in the US we had the best of the worldly systems and now it's falling apart before our eyes.
yup. I agree with your POV there.
People talk about being happier after they've quit FB, but overall this board has way more negativity than my FB feed...

And again the "for the greater good" crowrd is the crowd who will happily sign up for the loss of individule rights and liberty.......exactly what the government hopes for.....paralyze people with fear and slowly enslave them without them even knowing it.
"Big Brother", the government, or whoever else, doesn't need Facebook to keep tabs on someone. Of course, people should use their better judgements on what they decide to post. But, if they're overly paranoid about an unseen force that's out to get them, then I'd think that Facebook isn't the only thing that they'd have a problem with. They should just give up all of their electronics and become Amish
Funny how back in the 50s people left their cars unlocked, left theri front doors unlocked and walked down the street at night and felt safe. It doesnt mean crime didn't exist back then, but it was far less common and less violent in most instances and that was managed without constant monitoring by big brother. Society as a whole has declined rapidly and is only getting worse. I could go on and on about what was and what is today, but most just poo poo it off.
back in the 50's they were buying a loaf of bread for a silver dime (10 cents)...today a loaf of bread almost costs 5 federal reserve notes..
I wonder how prices just jump up like that....was it because the bread should cost more? or was it because the unbacked dollar has lost it buying power over the years causing inflation..
