No, third-in-command. He actually got all the blame and had to undergo an investigation!

that's why I hate facebook. that's why I see people so changed in my town that I can't still approach them the right way and, feeling this distance, it gets worse, less courage and less security to approach them after. also being took for a fool, just because you want to stay with them, without using their same shy code, their same cold means. better alone, drugged, evil and troll than whore to a social network, better here.
:edit:
"better" nothing. it's just a matter of strenght of will. should go out more and incite the others to do the same.

duties of friendship.
"duties" sounds like "hard work". there should be no duty in friendship, imho. the fact it is seen as a duty can make it less spontaneous, less sincere. friendship should be a pleasure, it should be a necessity. but here's why people don't want 'real friendship'. with real friendship a person comes in direct contact with someone else's opinion, that opinion may be constructive or extremely destructive for the one who listens to it and social networks don't make that 'process of counsciousness' available and ready to be followed. living in your own world, forced to Asperger syndrome, that's where we're going to.

You can enjoy your job as a doctor, it's still your duty to save lives. You can enjoy being a real friend with someone, it's still a "duty" to help him out in tough situations, even if you're happy to do it. So yes, that's what they talk about when they say "duties of friendship", those things that ARE a duty but which you don't really want to do when you're not a real friend. Friendship can be hard work, the difference is when you're glad to help. In fact, it's in tough situations that you can know who your real friends are, those who still do this hard work, those who act up on this duty.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

I agree with it... it's just a matter of words for me. "Duty". Always saw friendship as something that doesn't come from being morally obligated to do something... feeling in debt, maybe. this kind of things.

also I looked on the net, there's another interesting plague called "co-ruminating". and it affects women. women get depressed by talking much on the internet, so do men which can't enjoy to stay with them because they're depressed and here it is GLOBAL DEPRESSION. shame on you, women. we should enjoy each other. :no:

"Social networking is actually a way of keeping people at a distance - a way of having 'friends' but not having any of the commitments and duties of friendship

Not that half the people that use it would know what duties of friendship are.

So tell me, what do you think the duties of friendship are?  And are there differing levels of friendship?  And why did friendship as we know it evolve from the need to have a tribe of people to survive to having a buddy to have a beer with and why shouldnt it continue to evolve as technology changes what our needs are?

duty to your friend is like what you see in Hongkong movie,
you're in deepshit because some triad guys looking for you,
then you remember that in the past you've done a favor to your friend,
so you call that guy on your mobile phone while running into a street market throwing vegetables to your pursuers, and dodging their meat cleaver,
then on the other end of the market, your best friend comes with a minibus , full with his friends armed with a baseball sticks, meat cleaver, and other big knives,
that's what friends are for...

You in the internet does not equal you out of the internet. And that is why online social networking FAILS.

People are voyeristic and need to mind their own fucking business.

Yes they are but not completely, imho. They easily fall in what is usually called "false self-esteem". I mean (and I proved on my own skin) that what appears on the screen in the form of digital characters doesn't stand for the truth or the sincere way in which a person can talk. More than this, human relationships are not only made of talking. Real friendship / alliance / whatever is based on sharing basically animal attitudes such as eating, sleeping and sex (whatever, no discrimination toward sexualities). Yep they must be 'completed' with cultural factors, but as far as I know, affection borns that way (culture is the right weapon against boredom).
The difference between to talk OL and IRL may differ so much that it can get scary, so scary that a person would prefer to live one or the other side, alternately or not. You can say "that's ok, I can handle it", I say that there's a lack, a lack needing to be satisfied. Real approach to human beings, things, reality, concepts, art and everything else not based on a human-machine relationship needs to be satisfied, in a social or anti-social way it will come out anyway.
In poor words you become cold, yep you have that omnipotence feeling (I experienced it, that was fun honestly) but there will be always that unpleasant lack. ..
So that's what pisses me off mostly about Facebook, a social-oriented network that makes you a-social. Dude, terrorists have more sincere appeal with real life.

not only was that difficult to read, but the whole could have been easily summarized with something like: "online social networking leads to people becoming callous/desensitized to the fact that you are still communicating with real people." but then again since i had so much trouble reading that, it's also possible i entirely missed the point...

this could have been easily summarized in "your english sucks, dude".  :sugoi:

You didn't miss the point anyway. I just didn't want to use synthesis because synthesis are often good to memorize and often agreeable as wise words, but often difficult to practice. I just tought to say it all the way I thought it had to be said.

This is true and unfortunate.


I like facebook for the ability to keep in touch. Alot of  my close friends moved away and I don't use  messenger much so there would've been no contact. I don't use facebook that often either but I love the keeping in touch aspect!
