My friend cuboz has decided to commit more serious thoughts to LJ. I applaud him for having the courage to share some of these deep thoughts with us. Which bring up the thought about "us" at LJ and who we are and what we want LJ to be

What gets me about face book is all the lying (well that might be too strong of a word). People putting an facades. Even family members who by their Facebook posts are doing so well and are so happy and then I talk to them and they are in serious crisis!

I have been unpleasantly surprised a few times now.

The bragging! I can't stand it(its like an all year Christmas letter every day!), however I noticed that the people who do it have had painful losses, like a divorce so they hyper focus on the kids or the dog or grand kids and they post like umteen photos a day about the same thing..... Everyday! its like bizarro world on Facebook!

Or they yell about politics or whatever cause they are behind and God forbid if your thoughts on the matter differ from theirs, then you are a hater or an "anti" then drama. And all with family members or locals friends. Yuck.

No substance at all, no content there, just freak outs, emotions and those memes shaming you to like the post.

I have around three friends here that still post (I am grateful for), I miss the former LJ days, I would happily accept the bad to have the good back again.
