Facebook is just another means of "dumbing-down" the population, plain and simple.
People tend to refer to Facebook like it's a "place" to go to to meet people, when it is more like a black hole that removes you from society.
Those that spend most of their time online doing things other than work are literally losing their intelligence. Knowlegde and social skills are being replaced with "inst-facts" and online friends, which removes you from what makes you intelligent......the ACT of learning!

I REFUSE to join Facebook or any online gathering site because it removes me from actually going out to meet people, removes moral barriers (people say whatever they want thinking that no one else will know what they said.) and in my view, turns people into self-described cyber kings!

No, Facebook may not be destroying this site, but it's creating a generation of cyber-morons that won't have a clue about fishing or boating, which will start the ball rolling.

Thankfully there are plenty of intelligent people that still favor this site (as well as others) with their input and contributions.

Think about how many times you hear , or have heard younger people say "How did you do that?" while doing something you learned about fishing as a kid?

OK, the soapbox is free now!
