No wonder this place is dead.
People don't even want to converse about what's going on with one another.

I've noticed that due to facebook and twitter people as a whole tend to have lost conversation skills, and everyone just simply "talks" in the form of twitter updates. Single line statuses, that type of thing. A rush of information in as few words as possible. No flair the conversation, no inflection. No intention to even make it seem like a normal chat - just pushing out information in less than 4 sentences at a time.

Then again I'm having a bad day and maybe I'm just being far too cynical towards the whole process and how the internet is slowly ruining people and their ability to actually talk. (Hell, remember when people were allowed to have an opinion without getting ripped? Now you can't say anything negative or you're an asshole. Can't give a bad review of a movie, because people like it. Can't give a good review of a movie, because people hate it. Our culture has grown to be so hate-filled. At least with British culture it's tongue-in-cheek, and the hateful comments are made out of friendship. Twitter has turned North American culture into everyone just being an asshole all the time every chance they get simply to impress people they don't give a shit about.)

Edit: Re-reading that, I want to point out I wasn't trying to single either of you guys out, or rip on you. It was just in general I meant that.
