People who don't understand somethings, get scared, and slag them off. Simples!
I keep in contact with loads of old mates via facebook, even had a part time job offer, which I do in my spare time. Proved very profitable!
Facebook is a tool, like a credit card. They have to be used wisely 
i left school about 20 years ago and never kept in touch with folk and after an old friend died i thought id better pop on there and say hello to a few folk as you never know when your times up,since then ive got talking to some really good old friends and have met up a couple of times and it is at the end of the day how life has become.speech is a fadeing art and the texted word has taken over
Its a fantastic resource to connect with old mates, good one from College left, he went to New Zealand. Got chatting on FB, turns out he was back in London and working in I.T just down the road from me. Meet up that evening for some beers!
It also has its nutters, my old driving instructor added me last week :-?
