Fakebook

In our reading Roiphe calls Facebook, "Fakebook" and I could not agree more. After countless times thinking about deleting my Facebook I couldn't do it. I mainly blame that on being a journalism major and we have to have all forms of social media. When I log in I specifically just look at my notifications and my messages because when I scroll down and see what everyone posts I am more or less disgusted. A lot of these people I keep around to ponder at their life choices and some I have to keep around because of the same reason Stan on South Park has to. I don't particularly want to be friends with family but with Facebook you don't have much of a choice because people have feelings. What bothers me is that a majority of the people on Facebook are fake. They share stories they haven't actually went through and post up their deep feelings about a subject they don't know any hard proof or knowledge on. It is a place for opinions but at the point it is more along the lines of debatebook and who can be the fakest with their proof they looked up on Google as soon as they put themselves in a debating position.
