If you are paid a full-time salary to be on-hair 3 hours and in makeup 2 hours per day, how hard is it to tweet some worthless chatter?

Wild animal solution: same as active shooter!

If the police had their sh*t together, there would have been no pool of empty cars and panicked populace.

Goblin: Imma holjoo hostige!
Victim: Noooooooo
Bystander: 911 hostige!
911: gimme a min.
Goblin: Im holdin joo!
5.0: Hey let them go
Goblin: Smoke you!
5.0: BANG
Victim: thanks 5.0!
5.0: somebody brang ambalamps
Reporter: Problem here?
5.0: WAS a problem. Solved.
General populace: (goes on with life undisturbed)

(This has been a dramatization)

some people do post stupid retarded sh*t. and they continue to do so instead of improve themselves. "bored at work..." others post 300 similar pics of their babies/kids. you can trace all 7 albums right down to the hospital birth. in other instances, people post like 500 pictures of themselves. i see how it is stupid and is a pretty big waste of time. like Majik mentioned, it depends how it is used.

about the pictures...

Some families are spread out across the country. My grandmother uses facebook to keep up with baby pictures of her grandkids and cousins. that is her only purpose of having an account. The only status update she gave was when she got home from surgery, she let everyone know how she was doing.

Agreed. However, for people who have over 3,000 facebook friends (ahem, visionz) it would be the same as listening to the radio. A non-stop feed for hours.

Another example of misuse of Facebook to your personal detriment:

Rookie cop
Gets an 18 year-old into a beer garden
Drives police truck drunk
Takes pictures
Posts them on FB

sad.gif see if you would just wait a few hours to think before posting your photos . . . laugh.gif
