Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rove" data-source="post: 54669" data-attributes="member: 100">Facebook is killing the relationship people can have with one another. I hear the usual excuses, "It's a great tool to keep in contact with family and friends." Oddly I thought that's what email was for. Or, how about picking up a phone and chatting. Recently a mate of mine celebrated his 50th birthday. He didn't want any fuss since he is going through a divorce and the usual suspects - teenagers - think that the world including (Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram) evolves around them rather than showing some interest in their father. So I gathered up a few mates (just enough to fit in a 4WD) and turned up at his place. He had no choice, he was coming with us. Off we went for a long weekend - just the old boys. Nothing beats sitting around a camp fire, enjoying a cold beer and having a good laugh. Facebook cannot offer this experience.</blockquote>
