How does FB kill social interaction?

I have met 20+ riders and been on rides with them in the last year or so, of which I met them through FB...a few of which are now really good mates :lol:

I reckon its just a case of people being lazy as fuck and not trying to get out there and do shit, like rides etc..face book is not to blame..

Well ok, it is to blame for killing KSRC though...the only real KSRC ride I can see myself going on will be CDT...which will be organised on FB as soon as fuckin Philthy opens an account! :lol:

Peace... :kuda:

Didnt say it was just said it may be. But I think youve answered your own question tho.... and your right in that its the lazy slack arses sitting in their urban caves (not to be confused with a shed or garage) letting the world pass by without even seeing it unless someone has made a comment about the weather.
Peace... through superior firepower :kuda:

facebook started off as a means to promote my rock band mainly , which i must say it does well , but it is also a usefull way to keep in touch with people i otherwise wouldn t see so i do like it . this doesent mean that it will kill ksrc for me though, even though i dont get on here as much as i should. :kuda:
