I think that Facebook (like most other tools) enhances traits that were already there.

Dibs, I’ve got to say too that flipping the bird to a cop is really pushing your luck. You must have sensed that he was more or less mild mannered because some of them wouldn’t have reacted the same way….
BTW, the drug dealers of Clinton/Washington fame are back. They went away for a few weeks. Today they were back, flipping wads of cash. Damn.
bxg:it’s a matter of the bus driver making sure he and his bus comply with the law
And i was talking about the bus driver ensuring a better ride for all, law or not. We rely too much on whether it’s legal or not, and that’s not another discussion. It’s an attitudinal problem.

“I was like ewwwww you have a moustache.”
That’s racist against ladies with moustaches, and as such, un-American.

“Their being engrossed in online social networking is exactly what’s changing the world right now.”
True- look at how fB and twitter helped them revolt in Egypt.And why China is terrified of social networking.
