The tickets from Houston to Jacksonville were what Alice Rodriguez considered the ultimate birthday surprise from her boyfriend when in her excitement she shared a photo of the boarding passes on the Traveling Texans Facebook page.
The Poojer Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 i hope they string up the troll by his shriveled nutsack, that is complete BS
mrags Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 i hope they string up the troll by his shriveled nutsack, that is complete BS I find it hilarious. Maybe people will stop posting personal and important information on Facebook so that everyone in the world can see. Social media is terrible
boyst Posted December 11, 2014 Author Posted December 11, 2014 i hope they string up the troll by his shriveled nutsack, that is complete BS Oh, I feel the same way. The troll should get a nice warm plate of karma served twice.but... I find it hilarious. Maybe people will stop posting personal and important information on Facebook so that everyone in the world can see. Social media is terrible ...this is true. The amount of personal information posted on social media is terribly frightening. I've seen people post pictures of their licenses when they get a bad photo, or just get them. I've seen people post legal documents and tax forms proclaiming things like "WTF, I am getting a fine?" or "Why are they taking all of this money out of my paycheck?" The paycheck one was great. They left their Soc# and other info available... but crossed off the $ amounts. The best are guys posting pictures of their gf's and then people doxing them... ahh, that's good times.

mrags Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 No social media is great. It's people's use of it that's terrible. i disagree.
Chef Jim Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 i disagree. Because you most likely don't know how to use it.

They (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter are great ways to get the word out if you own a business or have a client base of any sort. It is one of the best ways to market yourself now.

Not some idiot kid chiming in on anything they feel like. Generally, it causes more bad than good. Don't get me wrong, I have a FB account. I use it to view photos of my famy and stay in touch with them. But I hate the stupid posts and have no need to know what people are doing any given minute. kind of, but you get an e for effort "....I pick things up and out them down!" DAMN IT!!!
The Poojer Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 which really reinforces the point, it's the people, not the vehicle that are the problem, much like guns and pit bulls are, in and of themselves, perfectly safe, give them to stupid people, you have the potential for trouble Generally, it causes more bad than good.

The point is, I think the majority of people are idiots.

I just discovered a great feature of FB. You group certain like minded posters you follow. For instance I created one that is Food and Beverage and only included food and beverage posts by chefs, restaurants, food magazines, breweries, wineries etc. So if you click on that those are the only posts you get. No cats, dogs, slobbering baby posts. It's !@#$ing fantastic! I created one for all the music posts I follow.
DC Tom Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 No social media is great. It's people's use of it that's terrible. Social media is terrible, because people use social media, and people are fundamentally terrible.
