Is Facebook the cause of many fights, drama, divorce, and cheating?

Facebook in and of itself is not the issue, it is each person's responsibility to act accordingly. The issue is that when people are online they do not realize that they may be held accountable for the things they say or write there, the pictures they post, etc... For example, there was a recent case where a mother in Missouri went online with a fake I.D. claiming to be a girl from her daughter's school. This mother deliberately added a friend of her daughter's and talked dirt to her, calling her names and pressuring her. The daughter's friend killed herself as a direct result of those conversations. The mother did not think she would be held responsible for anything she did online, but she was.

One correction to your statement though would be that Facebook does not "force" anything from anyone. It is each person's perception of what their personal freedoms and accountabilities are when they are online that is the core issue.

Facebook doesn't cause anything. People get caught up in there own drama within and create an outlet via Facebook. Social networking is just an outlet for our thoughts. It is a voice that wants to be heard, no matter what the voice is via: quotes, art, photos, events, anger, happiness, etc...

When the "ego" is left wandering around on Facebook then it becomes insane. Keeping ever so mindful while carousing Facebook is the only way I can partake in the madness.

Peace always..

Facebook provides the ideal conditions for someone finding out a little bit and spinning it into a giant mess based on faulty assumptions and their own fears.

In other words, 'forcing' conversations that don't need to happen because they're based on invented fantasies that don't really exist.

I think your picture of it as a force for good is as far fetched as saying it's the cause.

like you, i don't think facebook is the actual cause but it certainly seems to have a large hand to play, so, i'd say it's like an agent provocateur or an agitator. if you allow it to be so, it can just be like an open doorway to all your exes and your partner's exes and unless you are the world's most solid and trusting couple, it's bound to raise some issues or be the cause of some anxiety. the thing, i guess, with all this new technology is to be very much in control of it, to use it to your advantage and not to grant it any more importance or power than it deserves.

first of all all im sorry on your loss. i understand the way you experience. 3 years in the past, my solid buddy died in a vehicle twist of destiny and there isn't an afternoon that doesnt pass by using with out taking into consideration him, and only a week after that got here about my different buddy died. Its such an terrible adventure to have and that i never elect that to take position to every person else. It makes you experience that there all leaving you. yet you'll get via it. The issues i did became imagine about all the solid situations we had together, searching at pictures and listening to the track they loved. The issues that extra a grin to my face. searching via them all continually made me experience that that they had an excellent existence with a lot of solid friends. Sorry to take heed to about your mum and dad. Ive never had a dad or relations topics like that so i dont understand what your dealing with, in simple terms remember to dont take sides. There nonetheless your mum and dad. Please dont motel to drugs or something. That'll in simple terms pile the topics even extra. at the same time as i became youthful i did a touch drugs and heavily did me in. Yeah it makes you experience chuffed yet once you awaken you want you never did it. you would possibly want to no longer imagine there is every person there for you, yet there is. There are those who can help. Childline or the different facilities. They wont tell every person, its in simple terms helpful to be in a position to inform human beings belongings you dont understand. they can provide you with suggestion and itll be a helpful weight of your shoulders. perchance come across a knew hobbie to get your tooth into or pass out slightly extra and meet new friends and who's conscious of youll experience free back in the previous you recognize it :) you'll experience free quickly. in simple terms keep your head up and dont do something stupid. there is continually someone there for you. solid success.

Yes to fights and drama, Facebook is really just a place for people to go to for snooping through every ones business.

My honest answer is that I can see no reason for me to join facebook.

But, more important, I must wonder about the nature of a person who feels the need to be "forced" to be honest?

I don't think so, I think it lets people hide behind their computer screens so they don't really have to face each other.
