________.Facebook is Evil._________
1) It promotes unhealthy boastfulness – nobody cares if you get a new car or have just upgraded your cable to a superior package. Advertently, nobody cares also if your child/significant other/family member is really sick – you should not be on Facebook at this time, you should be by there side if you really care.
2) It isn’t monitorable – There are paedophiles’ in this world who do find it easier to approach children via Facebook – and they will try and do it. They don’t have to use their own pictures or say who they are and there is not one person going to question the credibility of their profile until it is too late.
3) It has spawned a very nasty trend called cyber-bullying. This is now recognised as a genuine problem amongst schools where children AND TEACHERS are being victimized and bullied via Facebook. There does not seem to be a solution to this problem as removal of the abusive messages from your own wall still leaves them on your friends and families.
4) The bullying and threatening behaviour do not always stay on Facebook – it is not an unfair comment at all to point out that most violent behaviour (domestic and schoolyard) has been planned for OR has been the direct result of something written on Facebook.
5) People can blatantly abuse their freedom of speech to praise terrorist attacks or murders on Facebook. Although a few cases have been brought into question in the past few years, all new cases remain unresolved due to sheer-number.
6) Because of the above, it can be a great cause of emotional distress. If your child has been killed in Iraq, you do not want Islamic Extremist using their right to free speech to express how pleased they are about it.
7) Thieves now read your Facebook pages to determine if you are at home or out before they rob your house.
8) The Government monitors its pages to check to see if people claiming benefits are telling the truth about their current employment/disability status. This had led to a lot of totally innocent people losing the benefits they are entitled to (thus braded a benefit cheat) because they said one thing to arouse the suspicion of the welfare office.
9) Places of work also use Facebook for reasons to fire unsuspecting employees. This had led to some totally innocent people being removed from work because of a post that could possibly relate to employer being posted on facebook.
It encourages you to lie. Whilst not all lies are bad; some lies just have to be told out of necessity and some things you should just keep to yourself.
There are also things you should not know (or want to know) about your family/friends. Some things that can question your entire belief system about them, and all because they post them on Facebook.
If, like me, you have read Dante’s Inferno, you will know of the following saying:
Facebook encourages you to do this. Whether it be pretending that everything is going to be alright, to a pandering post on somebody else’s wall telling them it will be – even when you know it won’t be alright.
Even when you know that you are not alright.
Facebook encourages you to lie... to yourself more than anybody else.

10) THE BIGGEST REASON I THINK FACEBOOK IS EVIL IS:
It encourages you to lie. Whilst not all lies are bad; some lies just have to be told out of necessity and some things you should just keep to yourself.
There are also things you should not know (or want to know) about your family/friends. Some things that can question your entire belief system about them, and all because they post them on Facebook.
If, like me, you have read Dante’s Inferno, you will know of the following saying:
“The tenth circle of Hell is reserved for those who lie to themselves”
Facebook encourages you to do this. Whether it be pretending that everything is going to be alright, to a pandering post on somebody else’s wall telling them it will be – even when you know it won’t be alright.
Even when you know that you are not alright.
Facebook encourages you to lie... to yourself more than anybody else.
