1. being on the internet and saying things allows people to be more honest even if they know you because they still dont have to say stuff to someones literal face.

2. if someone truly didnt feel what they post on there - i truly dont think theyd post it. itd be different if they even posted it once (sometimes! althought not all) but if they post racist/bigoted/prejudiced things repeatedly idk why that WOULDNT be an indicator that thats how they are. whether its ignorance or not.
In some cases I thought (at first, but it did not stop thus the purge) that it was that old HS mentality. Johnny says this so I'm going to also.

I don't know. FB can be handy, and it can be entertaining (the games) but I find it frustrating. I know my cousin uses it to manipulate her grandmother my favorite Aunt. She'll say "my medication is... I cannot afford that so it looks like I'll do without this month". A check is immediately in the mail. My Aunt is 74 years old and still works a full time job. My Aunt thinks that since my cousin never asks her for money (just complains about it daily of FB) it's not the same thing as asking her for money directly. I hear "poor Christy". My Aunt got her a job, $20 an hour job doing computer work at her own schedule (through another family member's business). Christy could not even bother doing that! She had no time! Um, Auntie, do you see all of those farmville announcements? She had time. I guess what it boils down to is that FB gives me too much information about people.
