Facebook is a curse or a blessing ?
[Ash]:
it totally depends on you.
i am not a fb addict nor i rush update everything single thing happening with me. but yes my updates and posts are there to remind my friends that m not dead ::)
for me its really a blessing. i lost 3,4 of my dearest friends. they shifted to dxb and there was no contact with them. as the time passed, i forgot them as well. but after 5 years, thanks to fb that i got'em back!!
not actually this, many of the news updates (thanks to the ppl for creating this pages) are very beneficial to us, specially for ppl like me living in pak!
99% of my friends circle use fb daily. but only 50% of them are in contact with me on phone. so just sending them a msg over fb is so very easy. no extra charges for that, task is also done and its easy to handle too. ::)
as far as religious and other matters are concerned then its bound to take place in every social networking site! why blaming fb only? go on twitter, you'll find more than that. its just that people often forgets their limit :)
as fas as useless friendships and relations are concerned then again it depends on you. edit your privacy setting. donot accept everyone in your friends circle or do not post up everything! :)
its also a sort of venue for teasing, having fun and pulling legs of your friends (of coarse in limits!) for eg, if your team won and your friend's team lost the match. your if you gotta excellent grades to share with your friends over seas etc etc! :)

Can't that be the task of MSN or yahoo? It's not like it's only FB that connects us with those who are far.

Isn't SF considered one? We have RULES. Why can't FB have that?
Yes, it all depends on us but don't you believe that the people around us have an influence ? Do you think I can watch bad channels on the TV expecting it won't affect me ?
An enemy from any other part of the world might use FB as a source for convincing youngsters to go against their leaders or perhaps their own country. Do you like what's happening in the Arab world? Or should I say the entire Muslim world? How many countries are left without a war or a protest? Don't you believe that FB is one of the main reason the above change is happening in our world today?
And I don't believe any other social network contained an offending drawings of my Prophet pbuh as much as FB did. Pages and groups are created on DAILY-BASIS offending people, religion and cultures.

The internet, as a whole, is based on free speech. In fact, it is the only medium where you cannot be force-fed with info. eg. In radio, TV, tabloids and newspapers, they publish only what 'they' want to publish. What they publish is almost always influenced and biased by their owners.
Whereas, in the internet, what you want to see is entirely your OWN CHOICE. You just can't be force fed with anything. Complete regulation of the internet is both impossible and not necessary.
Thus, I would say that not only facebook, but the whole internet is a huge blessing. It is entirely your choice what you want to see. You can spend your time reading informative stuffs, watching movie or even by watching pornography.
Regarding the arab protests, recently I've seen a trend: "lack of intelligence". Yes! More and more people are becoming gullible and irresponsible. They'll do whatever you tell them if you manage to put a good image to yourself! You want your government to change your policies, do it by reaching out to your government. This can be done by petitions, letters or peaceful protests etc. If there is a substantial opposition to something, every govt. knows that they'll have to act. But why create anarchy? By creating anarchy, you are promoting lawlessness and giving the criminals and thiefs a safe hand to do whatever they want while you protest. Is this SO difficult to understand? I mean, how can people lack the brains to understand this simple thing? By trying to bring one man down, you destroy your economy and allow lawlessness.
Therefore, I don't blame facebook. There are as many good pages and good news portals in facebook as there are some portals promoting lawlessness. It is your choice of what you want to do and where you want to go, just like the rest of the internet. I blame the "lack of intelligence" on part of the people living in their respective country. They cannot think for themselves. In fact, they can't even think logically on a basic level.

Welcome! Yeah, it is the intelligence which matters. Facebook is just another platform, to be used in a good or bad way.
