[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it is offensive if I post a pic with my friends at dinner/concert/party/whatever? What if we haven’t seen each other in many months/years and rarely post such things?

[/quote]

I don’t think it’s offensive. I think some people are just wondering who is it for when you do that? [/quote]

It could be for us?

It could be for our friends who couldn’t join us (maybe they live far away)?

I mean, who are pictures generally for? Aren’t they a way to capture a moment? [/quote]

The reality of that moment exists only for the people who were there. When you share a pic publicly, the moment doesn’t belong to you anymore—it’s open to interpretation by anyone who can see it. Some might feel happy, some might feel jealous, some might mock it. Some might act like they’re happy about it, but silently mock it. You can’t feel bad about that though, because you put it out there.

And yes, you are deliberately participating in a platform whose addictive properties have been documented repeatedly. So even if you’re not addicted, you’re still part of a societal problem.[/quote]

Cool. Now do alcohol. Let me guess, ThAt's DiFfeReNT![/quote]

Would you stand outside an AA meeting handing out cocktails?[/quote]

Analogy fail. Your claim is that my drinking cocktails at home is harming alcoholics. Don't want to see my FB posts? Don't visit my FB page.[/quote]

Again, [b]if you’re participating in the platform, you’re part of the societal problem[/b]. No one cares if you drink cocktails at home or take pictures of your girls night out and just keep them for your own enjoyment.[/quote]

Wait a second, so how is this only on the people posting but not on the people who are having adverse reactions? You don't like seeing stuff on Facebook? GET OFF IT![/quote]
