For the privacy of the individuals, I edited their names and pictures, although they did write this for all to see.
If you notice, someone actually "liked" the status concerning diarrhea. What is there to like about that?!
And look at the status below the diaper one. If you're from the South or a football fan, you know that this person is referring to a victory by none other than the University of Alabama. I love football season. But during this time, people more than ever have become vicious with their statuses- talking vulgar and down right mean about each others' teams.
Now, I know it's just a game...and it's just a status. But it becomes poison to us if we are constantly reading inappropriate talk.
Some people would say just to hide people you don't want to read. If I did that, there wouldn't be a news feed. Since my Facebook break up, I have more time to read things that are actually positive and worthwhile.
Admit it; if you're a Facebook user, you probably get on your trusty iPhone more than you'd like to admit and browse Facebook out of boredom. I caught myself browsing picture after picture of people I went to high school with, whom I never had a friendship with anyways.
Facebook has allowed us to see into anyone's life. We can portray ourselves any way we like through the things we say and the pictures we post. I prefer to have real relationships in real life - not some fake virtual world where we are all friends...but in reality, if I saw them in public, I probably wouldn't even say hi.
