Basically there are too many people thinking they are 'Popular' in the Facebook world

People like to feel popular. It makes them feel secure about themselves. I like to think i'm popular. It makes me feel good about my self.

Base socia/cultural psychological needs are nothing to turn your nose up at. They're the foundation of our world.

but in reality, they are the scumbags in life... Well, Thats in my part of the UK really

You spelt "I don't like them" wrong.

people seek verification. i see no evil.

Are you going to keep this shit up? It's almost like all Apple products have mind control devices.

It's in the user agreement.

I'm stating fact.

It's not my fault that the facts portray Apple in a positive light and seem to dispel the common myths surrounding their customer base.

How come?

I'm assuming because they're content consumption devices as opposed to content creation. Regardless, I don't see why that makes their owners "idiots" or "tools".

If buying things for enjoyment only makes you an idiot, we're all fucking morons.

At 11 days ago, WaterShake wrote: Apple have released the 3rd generation model of the wildly successful iPad. This is slightly old news but i've only just gotten around to watching the keynote.

And the incredible success continues.

Apple have sold 3 million third-generation iPads in three days. More than the total amount of tablet sales by Blackberry and Motorola combined.

On a separate note, Apple stock is now 50% higher (599.12 per share) than it was during Steve Jobs's reign. Whatever happened to investor's notions that the company was doomed without him?

You guys seem to be forgetting about the work that teachers do out-with the classroom. E.g grading papers, internal admin, curriculum maintenance etc.

The majority of BBS users haven't worked a full-time job (nevermind worked as a teacher). Learn how workplaces operate.

And then she had one more thing to teach me. Then she said, "Now it all goes back in the box-all those houses and hotels, all the railroads and utility companies, all that property and all that wonderful money-now it all goes back in the box".

The original extract continues:

"You got all heated up about it for a while. But it was around a long time before you sat down at the board and it will be here after you're gone: players come, players go. Houses and cars... Titles and clothes... Even your body.âEU Because the fact is that everything I clutch and consume and hoard is going to go back in the box and I'm going to lose it all. So you have to ask yourself when you finally get the ultimate promotion when you have made the ultimate purchase when you buy the ultimate home when you have stored up financial security and climbed the ladder of success to the highest rung you can possibly climb it... and the thrill wears off - and it will wear off - Then what? How far do you have to walk down that road before you see where it leads? Surely you understand it will never be enough. So you have to ask yourself the question".

really poor form

Be as materialistic as you want bro. Your money is your money.

It's the beauty of commercialism.

My grandmother taught me how to play the game monopoly.

She was a lovely woman, but she was the most ruthless Monopoly player I have ever known in my life. She understood that the name of the game is to acquire.

When we would play when I was a little kid and I got my money from the bank, I would always want to save it, hang on to it, because it was just so much fun to have money. She spent on everything she landed on. She would accumulate everything she could. And eventually, she became the master of the board.

And every time I landed, I would have to pay her money. Every time she would take my last dollar. I would quit in utter defeat and she'd always say the same thing to me. "One day, you'll learn to play the game."

One summer, I played Monopoly with a neighbor kid-a friend of mine-almost every day, all day long. We'd play Monopoly for hours. And that summer, I learn. By the end of that summer, I was more ruthless than my grandmother. I was ready to bend the rules, if I had to, to win that game. And I sat down with her to play that fall.

I exposed my grandmother's vulnerability. She was an old lady by now. She was a widow. She had raised my mom. She loved my mom. She loved me. I took everything she had. I destroyed her financially and psychologically. I watched her give her last dollar and quit in utter defeat. It was the greatest moment of my life.

And then she had one more thing to teach me. Then she said, "Now it all goes back in the box-all those houses and hotels, all the railroads and utility companies, all that property and all that wonderful money-now it all goes back in the box".

Serioisly?

Facebook has already reached critical mass, it doesn't need to utilize promotional public relations, never mind controversial press.

Read the second paragraph:

"Sophie Taylor, 16, was accidentally shot by boyfriend Calum Murray, 18, at a cottage near Tomintoul, Moray, last April. The trainee gamekeeper then turned the gun on himself."

Incident took place last year, conviction happened today.

Yes, but though the majority has the most voice they should be limited in their treatment of the minorities. That's how it's set up in the U.S.

I'm talking about if the majority had absolute control without bounds.

I'll say it again. You do understand how democracy works right?

Facebook 'troll' Sean Duffy sentenced for offensive Sophie Taylor image

To summarise, Sean Duffy (26 years old) posted an offensive photoshop picture on Facebook (mocking a couple killed in an accidental shooting). He has since been sentenced to serve 300 hours of community service, placed under supervision for 2 years and banned from social networking sites.

What do you guys think of this?
