    If previous history is any idea of how that kind of thing works, we can just look at African dispersal to less "lifeless" areas to see how much of a battle you get.

    You obviously haven't heard of the shakes...

    This isn't withdrawal though, this is tolerance. In your beer frame of mind, this is like going from 1 beer making you buzzed, to a 6 pack, or more.

    Besides, It's all a personal thing. If you don't like coffee, that doesn't make it vile. It means you believe it to be vile, just the same as I believe Budweiser/Coors/Pabst/National Bohemian/O'Douls to be vile. Now real beer is good....

    Reminds me of a friend who for some reason tries to say they have ADD so that's why they constantly vaporized marijuana and do meth.

    Funny to have someone try to legitimize it while talking to you, and act like your so far behind the times and not with the new generation... geez

    Mostly because everyone thinks that they are the pinnacle of intelligence and if you aren't existing without any problems then you are stupid.

    If you can call the prospect of millions of dead people a beautiful thing, then you are one seriously fucked up person.

    When a group of people teeter on the edge of that abyss by their own hands for so long, you simply want to back away and cover your eyes... letting the inevitable occur.

    It's simply Darwin's law. If that's fucked up, then I agree that I'm a fucked up person.

    If you don't do that then you may eventually find yourself moving back just because your friends are still in Facebook and you feel you need it.

    That's on the assumption that you are somehow attached to using a specific website to keep in contact with people.
    What ever happened to text, email, myspace, phone, or even the more insidious IM land.. Yahoo/AIM/MSN/ICQ/Jabber/etc...

    Facebook's a blip in the radar, and can/will disappear someday.

    The myopia of a monolithic website where the entire world has an "avatar" profile is never going to happen.
    Hell, great example is the people that actually matter aren't usually on Facebook.

    It's not like everything on the net dropped off when Facebook started to exist. There's your option.
    Oh, what's that? Facebook is "cooler" than that? There's your problem... redefine your coolness factor.

    Telling people to shut their trap does no good for your argument, it shows people you're an ass.

    No, you have your priorities distorted.

    This is about censorship and common sense, not about religion on the "defending" side.
    The only religious part of this is a faith with their panties in a bundle.
    It's equivalent to me making a website that ran a contest on who can make Jesus do the most disturbing sexual things in a picture. Sure, it'd be childish, though you know I'd get LOTS of participation simply for the sheer desire to show disdain by people. I'm sure I'd get scathing emails/snail mails from multiple Christian faith leaders with virtual "cease and desist" letters. However, offending someone (or a group of someones) merely ruins your social relationship with that/those individual(s).

  18. Re:pathetic on Pakistan Lifts Ban After Facebook Deletes Offending Page · · Score: 2, Insightful

    a non-religious "capitalist" (why did you combine capitalist and non-religious together?) doesn't follow the beliefs of a Muslim.
    Failing to follow their belifs is by no means doing anything to any balance.

    Capitalism is an economic structure, Islamic faith is a religion.
    The two have no correlation. It just so happened that a faith did not like it, so they bitched, that's what it boils down to.
    Any other way you attempt to structure it only dilutes it and attempts to paint another picture.
