Thou shalt not Facebook, says Reverend

I think it's inappropriate to keep in close contact with prior partners, even if your current partner/spouse/etc. is aware of it. It's just unhealthy.

I have my ex-boyfriend on facebook but I have no romantic feelings for him whatsoever. We don't talk, though.

I've seen lots of emotional, and even what leads to physical adultery over on-line hookups. Beginning back before even MySpace started.

So is this basically "blame Facebook, not the people involved?" Yes, delete your Facebook account. If you talk to anyone from you past over the phone, disconnect your phone. Can't they just, say, not talk to them, especially if there's any temptation there?

Ah yes, the good old prescriptive vs. descriptive use of grammar debate rears its head....

That aside, it seems that blaming the use of technology on messed up relationships is out of place.

If someone steals a credit card and uses it to buy thousands of dollars worth of stuff, the thief is the problem, not the credit card. If someone speeds while driving, the driver's at fault, not the car. Ditto with Facebook. Or any other thing that could only POTENTIALLY be used for evil rather than for good. We're responsible for our decisions, and for the fallout that happens because of them. Absolutely nobody and nothing else.

Rules! RULES! Give us more man-made rules!!!

Teachings of men!

One of these days God will probably strike me down for my sense of humor: if all else fails subject them to absolute submission of "the law." Interpretation null because little children know not what they do; via 'because I said so.'

It's really not funny because people do get caught up by suffering.

Gah, if faced with a temptation like that DO NOT feed it. Run away, IGNORE it if you must.
