So what’s facebook? make new friends! chatting! looking for profiles and photos!..So what? does that mean we should have a new race in this particular site! Or would we look stupid if we do not participate and make groups!!?

In my opinion, Syria Government do not like to see its people wasting their time on things that does not make a good future for people, and beside we as syrians have our own facebook throughout our own social participations inside the country.

WE DO NOT COPY ANY ONE, WE DO THE RIGHT THINGS FROM OUR OWN EXPERIENCE.

(just my opinion)

Good Night :)

I think a part of the problem might be certain aspects (applications, for users) that facebook has, quite simply offends the senses of regular, sane and rational people. For the life of me, I cannot imagine a mullah allowing his flock to friendf*ck, marryme/sexme/killme, or play bros vs hos.

Were facebook to have a filthfiltered version, I’m certain a lot more moms, dads, and even mullahs will feel better about what they are allowing their loved ones to be exposed to.

I also apologize if I’m calling those pious leaders by the wrong term. If it helps I don’t really know the difference between reverends, pastors and ministers either. My point is, maybe facebook is just too dirty, and innuendo-laden for their standards.

can’t really believe what i’ve just read , it’s must b kind of joke cuz this ’s really outrageous ,IT’S SILLY TO block aweb such as facebook with even no 1 good reason , except that it’s fun & can gather us with all our friends and familly out there in a lovable way .
we must really be a shamed , cuz this ’s no longer an internet it’s a mockery .
