RAW

Facebook is a great tool.  I'll admit it.  You can catch up with old friends and family.  It's relatively cheap to communicate with.  Serves as a good centralized place in emergencies to say I'm ok.  Plan parties and gatherings.  Play games.  Post memes and other images.  Share your thoughts. 

Share your thoughts.  That's a rough one.  The other aspect of the Internet is that it gives a sense of false anonymity or bravado.  Some act online as they would in person. Some act more timid.  Some act more outwardly.  

More often than not, I have to put out a disclaimer.  Whether it's in my head or I'm just trying to see what others think, I'm going to speak my mind.  If you don't mind my mind, my mind will speak on.  And if you do, well, there's a scrollbar or a button and you do have a choice.

So yeah, like, if you are potentially sensitive to some topics, don't walk away mad... Just walk away.

Just like when Eddie Murphy came out with RAW.  You could watch it.  Or not.
