jbaldy22 -“@DY and @ health the argument you are making is no different than the argument many have made against the internet in the first place – if you choose not to have the internet kol hakavod. But facebook is just like the internet in that regard – it isnt for everyone but if used with the proper gedarim it can be used for great things. My point was singling out facebook and making hyperbolic arguements dont help anyone – ie facebook is like a disco or facebook is a primary cause of divorce. In general those type of arguments tend to make the people who make them look unintelligent and dont have a very high likelihood of convincing anyone.”
First of all -I’m not interested in convicing anyone.
Second of all, IMHO FB is worse than the net. Yes you can be in a disco doing Kosher things like a Shidduch date, but the place affects you. You can be on FB doing Kosher things, but the place can affect you easier than the Net. On the Net you have to go to bad places -they almost are never coming to you. On FB the way I understand it is anybody can come to you. It’s much more of a harder Nisayon.
