Somebody I used to be friends with posted the following on Facebook: “The only way to change the world is to change yourself.”
Somebody else posted, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
People literally spend their entire lives posting this kind of crap on Facebook in a steady stream. Dozens of these saccharine inanities interspersed with pictures of kittens. And these are people with PhDs, publications, credentials, and what not.
The only exception is blogger Z who is a model Facebooker and whose status updates are all just bizarrely good.

I have friends who post information from news sources I would not otherwise look at, and I appreciate those. However, I also have friends who post incredibly stupid stuff about natural cures and about how dangerous vaccines are. I have to turn off the computer and pace back and forth til I calm down so that I wont post some over-the-top invective.

– Same here! Facebook somehow brings out the worst in some people.

Facebook is a really a bland medium. You get a really bad sense of people from it, because their sudden assertions don’t have any deeper context. They could really mean anything, and often do.
