Can't Rant On Facebook

I need to rant, but doing so on Facebook will begin too much drama, and probably piss off friends. So, I'll do it here instead.

People, it's a new year, not new years, unless you're speaking of multiple years. It's new year's eve or new year's day, but not just Happy New Years. It's possessive.

Why, oh why, are people letting their children on facebook? I'm so tired of seeing my 4th grade daughter's friends pop up as friend suggestions. I'm not friends with children, nor will I be. I did go check a few of these tween girls' pages, just to see how secure their pages are. I could look at their walls, their posts, their pictures, their info....EVERYTHING!!

While I'm on the subject of children with access to too much technology, let me address the issue of children with cell phones. Now, my parents would not let me use the phone without their permission until I was in middle school. And even then I wasn't allowed to call boys. But, it seems that all sorts of elementary children have cell phones now. Why?? I know children who have received cell phones as early as 2nd grade. This is RIDICULOUS! I teach high school students. I have seen the disgusting things on their phones. I may be a bitchy mom, but my kids will be lucky to get cell phones before they graduate.

I admit that I have a slight facebook addiction. I'm on there almost every day. But I go on to see stalk old friends and ex-boyfriends and to check out pictures of my friends' kids and so forth. If I want to say something personal to someone, I email them. So, PLEASE, for the love of baby Jesus, quit posting your lovey dovey I love you baby, I'll miss you baby while you go to the grocery store crap all over facebook. Get a room...or at least make use of your fb inbox.

One more fb rant...I promise...at least for today. I live in Georgia, in south Georgia, in the Bible Belt. I know that almost all of my friends are Christians and regular church goers. But, you will not get a one way ticket to heaven if you post Bible versus as your fb status, and you're right I am one of the 3% that will not repost your religiosity on my fb wall. I am secure with the faith that I have. I don't need to broadcast it on fb to make people think I'm someone I'm not.

Last thing, am I the only person who does not allow my children to watch to SpongeBob?

You are twisted. I don't agree with a majority of what you say. But I enjoy reading what you had to say.
