Do you feel like spending time on BGOL and other boards gives you a socail advantage

[Top_Bunk]

Or even texting...As far as talking to other people & being more interesting or using proper grammar?

I was thinking the other day about how an arguement with my friend would have been different if we was arguing over the forum, email, text....you have a lot more time to respond over a device. And you can think longer and harder.

But being on BGOL and texting and shit i dont have to think much longer. I pretty much have an idea of what i want to say and i see in other people they just talk out they ass.

Ya know i'm sure if ya had 5 minutes to write a speech instead of saying it off the top you'd be better. IDK

Man, Eddie needs to get Martin and Arsenio back in the game since it's official he'll be working most of the next two decades paying off that dinner him and Melanie had...

It gives me great confidence knowing that I'm not the only person who can use google, wikipedia, download appz for free, basically bring all the world's knowledge to my fingertips and still can't spell "social" correctly in a public forum...it can be refreshing to a high school drop out...*winks*...

All jokes aside, I would say that being able to stay abreast of most the day's current happenings by virtue of a single page scroll is valuable. Being able to prepare myself with the knowledge of the bare and unadulterated opinions that others might have and might not be willing to admit to in public space is enriching.

However, I've come to find out that in most situations, being able to argue the mechanics of a subatomic particle and relate that to the overall worldview I have with regard to how knowledge is acquired, eh...usually does more damage to the overall image in certain, if not just most social circles.

My greatest, most "powerful"-I really should have made you define that- social asset is being able to just say "hi" to everybody.

I know right...

I picked up this really "friendly" tactic from the great and wonderful citizens of Mississippi, just wave and say "hello" to everybody. You'll be surprised how much more, well, you'll meet a lot of people that way.

To make an awfully long answer even more prone to be overlooked and disregard:

The great "people" persons that I've met were most certainly not the most knowledgeable on any level. They were great at small talk, because they were big listeners. Sure they opened up, but they knew how to get others to open up more. That is something digital media, or "social media", can deter and cause to atrophy in your own offline interactions...
