FACEBOOK TIME WASTERS

I do realize that the entire world is on
FACEBOOK. I have an account also.
I only have a Facebook account to
get invites or news from my son and
daughter-in-law who both play gigs
with their bands. If you were to ask me
to be a 'friend' it could take me a month
to get back to you.
Well I am convinced that the new 'fun'
Facebook games are Farmville, Cafe World
and my least favorite -Sorority Life.
The Sorority game gives you points for
beating up a rival sorority member. Then
you get points to buy your sports cars
and go shopping for other frivolous items.
When is it OK for women to be violent?
When is ok for men to be violent?
Why is this game something we expose
ourselves and our children or grandchildren
to? I am seeing more young people with
aggressive behaviour. Is it just more acceptable?
Well -it never was in my world and never will be.
We need to find better use of our time than online
violence against anyone!
