My rant on Facebook.
Okay. So like right now, I officially HATE facebook. Like seriously, I mean all that pokings gotta hurt one after a while, no? What ticks me off the most is how brothers poke sisters and vice versa. I know people come up with their “oh its not like I’m poking him/her in real life” lame excuse, but come on. I find it somewhat musing how sisters actually enjoy those pokes.
 Oh! this reminds of a comic piece I was linked to a few days back from Maniac Muslim:
The Facebook Stalker
I know I’ve written plenty about Facebook but this one seems to be a no brainer. You think all those cute girl party pictures are only viewed by girls? Think again suckers. That’s only a Facebook utopian dream. We’re dealing with people like this:
If you haven’t fixed your privacy settings… now would be a good time to do so.
Getting poked from a stranger on Facebook is like getting poked in real life by a stranger: there’s a potential to catch diseases. I know people that sit on their computers all day poking random people just for the sake of poking. Imagine doing this in real life?
I take it most people wouldn’t poke back in real life. Unless you are some sort of freak.

So yeah. Quit Facebook. Save yourself from falling into sins.

I signed up for facebook and was thinking ‘wow, this is better than myspace’ because myspace is FULL of fitnah. But it’s crazy how facebook is and how people aren’t being careful with the opposite gender.

If someone poked me in real life I’d be like hahahaha funny …. and then I’d slam my fist into their shoulder and laugh again and it would just escalate until one of us was out cold on the floor

I’m not sure what Hi5 is.. but if its a place where people put up their pictures and poke opposite genders, then yeah its the same. :)
