Pakistan said on Thursday it had asked Facebook and Twitter to help it identify Pakistanis suspected of blasphemy so that it can prosecute them or pursue their extradition. Under Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws, anyone found to have insulted Islam or the Prophet Muhammad can be sentenced to death.
Well, what you got to say to that? Do you yet see how social media is going to destroy all our freedom in the future? It already is for me and I don't go near it. It is turning you all into complete ego dummies. Even my Mum is turning into a right stupid, ill "Fake News" informed, not basing opinions on research and study, opinionated jack ass as a result of what Facebook is doing to her brain.
Political World Written by: Bob Dylan
We live in a political world Love don’t have any place We’re living in times where men commit crimes And crime don’t have a face We live in a political world Icicles hanging down Wedding bells ring and angels sing Clouds cover up the ground We live in a political world Wisdom is thrown into jail It rots in a cell, is misguided as hell Leaving no one to pick up a trail We live in a political world Where mercy walks the plank Life is in mirrors, death disappears Up the steps into the nearest bank We live in a political world Where courage is a thing of the past Houses are haunted, children are unwanted The next day could be your last We live in a political world The one we can see and can feel But there’s no one to check, it’s all a stacked deck We all know for sure that it’s real We live in a political world In the cities of lonesome fear Little by little you turn in the middle But you’re never sure why you’re here We live in a political world Under the microscope You can travel anywhere and hang yourself there You always got more than enough rope We live in a political world Turning and a-thrashing about As soon as you’re awake, you’re trained to take What looks like the easy way out We live in a political world Where peace is not welcome at all It’s turned away from the door to wander some more Or put up against the wall We live in a political world Everything is hers or his Climb into the frame and shout God’s name But you’re never sure what it is

Ignorance will prevail everywhere as long as people continue to lay the blame on anything and everything but themselves. Period.
Social media is a tool, and blaming it for our failure to rise above those wielding it is tantamount to acceptance of control rather than refuting it, as is ostensibly your purpose here. Social media didn't do this. People did this. They use social media to divide and subvert, and the very fact that you referred to your own mother as a jackass for simply having a different opinion than you is glaring testimony to that. Congratulations. You're doing precisely as they wish you to do.

I am not ostensibly doing anything to Facebook. I have a strong opinion about it. I can see instantly you have taken offense because you are a social media user and obviously don't like me saying anything less than perfect about a woman. I am defending my right to say what I want about MY mother. You don't know anything about our relationship so KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT, Dear.
Facebook is an obvious tool is it not? If Pakistan Authorities are making such requests upon it then THEY KNOW its significance and SO DO I.
I must ask myself, DO YOU?
I have to be direct here. I apologise for having to show my strength. I assure you I am a gentleman, but we must argue the toss in front of an audience for the right to speak our minds.

Well, if you want people to refrain from commenting on you casting aspersions upon your own mother, perhaps you should not post them on a thread in a forum where other people can read them, yeah? This is what we do here. We discuss what is posted. Don't like it? Don't say it. Pretty simple.
In your haste to attempt chastisement for something you brought upon yourself, you seem to have misread my words. I said absolutely nothing about you doing anything on facebook, ostensibly or otherwise. I do indeed know the significance, you see. And they've gotten into your head too. Your behavior on this thread is a clear indication of that. You didn't need to be doing anything on facebook in order to regard your own mother as a jackass, now did you? No. You did not. So they've got you too, without even trying. That's what I said.
