Twitter is sad.

Why? I don't believe that people won't go out to meet eachother anymore. Of course there might be a drop-down, because it's easier to tlk to other people online, but how many 18 year olds do you really know that don't go out at all and sit behind their PC at all times? The couple that do, are most likely the same ones that where einzelgngers in the 50s.

I know that most people don't give a rats ass about my life. I don't care. I can actually talk to Ian Cummings. Ask him stuff. It gets people closer together in a way.

Also, everyone likes to feel important. Nearly no one is, really. These social networking sites are a great way to express yourself in ways you would not do normally, because you get a sense of importance and openness. Expression is very valued in modern society, for as far as I know.

I know that it has its downs, but I still don't get why people are in two camps on this subject. Haters and lovers. I don't really love it, but I do have an account on which I 'tweet' from time to time.

That's the exact reason why I despise this phenomenon. The electronic networking media give people a false sense of intimacy -- and worse, a false sense of security -- which lets them act out online in ways they don't dare do in real life. That's why you get people going to club and sitting around texting. That's why you get girls who will send you racy texts or Facebook messages, but then can't make up their minds what they want in real life. That's why you invite people to parties a week out and they say, text me an hour prior.

Hell no. People who can't make up their mind I drop from my life very quickly.

But is that sense of security always a bad thing? I think that it can get people who are socially impaired in some way make some connections and have a group of people to talk to. Stuff you'd normally crop up and do bad things with.

Don't get me wrong, your examples are over the edge. If you take it that far, it causes a social impairishmend (I'm a foreigner, I'm allowed to make words up), rather than helping you get over it. It's all about finding a balance.

If you want to play in the NFL, playing all the Madden in the world won't get you there. If you want to be a weightlifter, you need to push iron, not sling foam balls. If you want to learn how to have real relationships, you need to talk to real people, not send vacuous messages through the ether.

It's about balance as you said.

Madden can give you some tactical insight at first. Slinging foam balls really won't help with anything. I get your point, but lets not forget that we are doing the exact same thing. Maybe more in-depth, but we're constantly talking to people we barely know and have most likely never seen in real life.

I think that stuff like this can help someone who's very shy. See how people respond to you. Shows you that you don't have to hold back all the time and that your points might, indeed, be valid. Of course, it won't get you the results of going to a party and socializing there, but it's a first step for sure. Drifting off here, though.

@RyanGrant25 I just want to thank you for not letting Brandon Jackson become the Packers #1 RB. Keep doin work!

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
