I sensed the site might cause me marital issues so me and my wife agreed to get off years ago. Then I bought a metal detector and our relationship got better

Thanks for the reply Crispin, This is just one of many reasons we do not have facebook in our home. My wife tried it because her friends all were into it. Lasted about 6 months and then some trashy clients of where she works found her and were very inappropriate and that was the end of that. I really see no reason on earth to be on Facebook or any web site of that nature. The way I see it is it is a very dangerous world and why invite trouble. In other words what true good can come of it?

I don't think you can blame the form of communication for what is said. I've had people send me inappropriate things on Facebook, I laugh at it and show my wife. I think that blaming facebook for divorce is like blaming the phone company for the telemarketers who call. The content of the message is not the fault of the messenger.

True it is not the messenger 's fault, however it is the vehicle in which opportunity to cheat rides in ....

It's the nature of the beast. If you drink too muck whiskey you might get drunk. Exposing yourself to a device that has a negative potential is itself a problem.
I once brought a snake in my house to check it out for awhile. The snake went bazerk. I learned to be careful what you let in your house.
It's the weak point of the argument that "guns don't kill people." Devices of many kinds create opportunity for problems. I would have been better off to not bring the snake in.

Facebook. Unfortunately if you were born in the 90's you've been severly infected. Just remember folks to keep logging into to the #1 website in the world for viruses, child molestors and rapists.
Oh but you must be 13 to join, that's a responsible enough age, MY ASS.

Link! I do believe we agree on one more thing!! Facebook is horrible, I like the way you put it "infected " that is exactly what facebook has done to our culture. And you are correct about 13 being way to young. If I had a young daughter I can assure you facebook would be completely off limits until she moved out of my house. And for anyone thinking I am controlling, nope just sensible.

Testosterone too! You don't want to live in a thought/emotion world,how can you avoid accidents when your body is in the moment,and,your mind is somewhere else,we could walk into all kinds of catastrophes eyes wide open and not even see it.

I've told women that for a man, testosterone is probably the strongest drug they will ever take. A young man will do things on T that they would not do when the effects of T diminish with age. A little compassion here.
Strange though, as many problems T caused when young, why all the effort to get it back?

Physical and psychological dependence .................... you gotta know where your thoughts come from.

Just last week here in Maine (supposed to be one of the safest states....LOL!) a 15 year old girl met some creep on Facebook and ran off with him. Just another example of Facebook filth...

Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.
