MSU Red Cedar Message Board

I truly find it fascinating how emotionally charged discussions surrounding FB have become.

As a few have pointed out, FB is a great tool for staying in touch.. However, it seems to me that the people who post most frequently do not, in fact, use it to simply 'stay in touch.' They use it as a vehicle to create a facade of the life they wish they had, an alter ego of sorts; there are those who might suggest this tactic is employed by some on message boards as well..

I couldn't stomach FB any longer, I started to feel sorry for people.. "Just finished off the steaks on my barbie! Thinking about a Blue Moon - should I go with an orange or a lemon?"

"Heavans, sounds like Johnny's grilling steaks this evening, Margaret! My goodness, that boy has really made something of himself. Why, just last month he posted that he hiked for 3 straight miles with no oxygen, sounds as though he's quite fit as well!"
