I'm not picking on your ego. Just chatting. :)

The only must I've found is, "if we are born, we must die"...


Taxes? ;)

Everything else is choice....


Even after your a married man?

Choose wisely...


Happyness or right?

Especially then? :laugh: ;)

I used to feel a lot like one of Pavlov's dogs/mice when I had Facebook. I don't use social media now (I only have g+ so I can use hangouts/leave feedback on Google store) and only when I gave up Facebook did I realise how much it sucked me in. It worries me how much kids are 'jacked in' to the net, we call it normal but it can look a lot like addiction.

It won't let me have a blank signature ...

You can be addicted to anything.

TOTJO is social media.

I answer my phone when it rings because all of five people have the number, and if im getting a call its important.

Conditioning, and addiction, are not the same things.

Training is conditioning.

People here try to condition themselves to handle there environment.

Meditation, for example,is a method to condition yourself to deal with stimuli in a specific way.

Toilet training is a form of conditioning.

The difference is, people tend to think whats important to them does not fit in a specific category.

Still, its not different, the only difference, is what you think is important and what isnt, and that, is something you have conditioned yourself to think.

Facebook isnt a problem

If its a problem for you...Well, thats conditioning,

You can condition yourself one way, or another.

Everyone thinks there special, perhaps on the outside looking in, but the world is but a small marble in the cosmos and were all on the same wheel.

I didn't say conditioning was addiction... but if children are not able to give up their phone, internet etc for a short period of time that's a lot like addiction. The number of radio and tv news reports and research into addiction in teenagers suggests it's a problem.

Couldn't agree more Edan. It struck me the other day, on the tram home from work. Everyone was sat there staring at their phones. When I say staring, I mean for the 20 minutes of the journey they were solidly staring at screens and tapping; and when I say everyone, I mean almost literally each and every person. It was utterly bizarre, but I suppose that's the way things are now. I thought it was odd, and sort of sad in equal measure. Everyone has to be constantly connected to everything now, it's weird, and does no good for the already short attention spans people seem to have, I think.
