Better to rant on mylot than on facebook

Both Facebook and MyLot have their good and bad points, I use both and get great results. Facebook makes me money on sales and I make a little from posting on Mylot.

In my country, say the wrong things on facebook and the political correctness nazis will get you sacked from your job.

It's pretty much common sense. If we are not careful with the words we choose that we post on facebook, we are at risk. If we want to express something there, we have to be ready to take the consequences. of course, the best thing to do then would be not to post on facebook at all if what we are attempting to post could harm us in some way.

yeah. i remember reading something about an employee complaining about her job and her boss on facebook, she forgot that she was friends with her boss. so her boss fired her the very next day.. what an idiotic thing to do.

As I´m old, I still prefer the phone. And now it´s so easy to chat at the computer or send an email. It is a lot more private. I had to delete a lot of people from my Facebook. They were spamming me grossly.

facebook can be dangerous to us if we are not careful. but i have to admit using facebook has its benefits, let's not let facebook take control over us.

haha, there are many spammers online. So we should watch out for them too. It helps if we don't take notice of those posts they post, it can't harm us physically at least. I like communicating by phone too, but it is costly for those who contact people internationally, since chatting and emailing is free, then they are perfect for that purpose.

I know what you mean. And I know some people who are very rude in online games too. There was a time when I was playing in Luna Online and went to a place filled with PKers (Player Killers), --people there can PK as long as the settings of those victims allows PKing. The default setting has been set to allowed. So players who are newbies of the game gets killed.-- I noticed that one by one players, whose levels are less than 15 to 10, disappeared from the map(they have to go back to a safe place in order to buy items or rest to regain their life points). I have set my level to level 4 if others will see my stats but I already have a level 30 character. So, I was minding my own business killing some monsters, dancing around and doing whatnot when the PK field activated and a player is attacking me. The funny thing was, the player was about to use a technique when I used mine that pushed him away and I got to hit him with multiple arrows using my own technique under the discipline of using bow and arrows. I was far from being defeated and he, about to leave me be. Before going he asked me what's my level...maybe in disbelief or something. I told him, "Try that to me again, newbie, ten years from now". You do get those kinds of people along the internet but just disregard them and have fun. My sister encountered people like that in her online game just yesterday. She was shouted at "STOP LEECHING, AKAI". Akai is her character's name. Still a newbie but isn't leeching. My sister didn't respond but she did feel bad. But she did say, that person's character is way colorful and it's so ugly to look at. When playing around, just have fun even at your own and to hell with those arrogant people. Have a nice day and Happy MyLotting!

Right on, rose. I think mylot is quite civilized. It's not just a bunch of random people who are out to try ruin other people's lives just to feel better. People here, most of them, knows what they are saying and are good thinkers. A jerk wouldn't last in this place, because it would bore him because not many would take his bait. I happen to notice that in gaming sites, there are so many arrogant people. I have not surfed any particular gaming site where the members can chat or anything, but i hear a lot of conflict stories about them from my boyfriend.

I haven't been around in other websites, but I'm pretty much content being here in facebook. Making money here is just part of the fun i am having in this good website. We all love mylot, otherwise we wouldn't be here. If we don't love mylot, we won't last here ahah. Yeah, well, I have not been facebooking much so i don't encounter that many jerks online. And on mylot, it's rare to find jerks.

That's what I want to say.Mylot is far far better than Facebook.I agree with you as you say there are no jerks here.We are really on a site that's the one and he only one of its kind.

I don't think that is a good idea, but. Okay LOL, it's your decision.

I agree with you maezze here I have privacy but on facebook I don't.

rather than ranting, it is best to talk about it privately with a group of friends who are able to understand you and keep those feelings of yours within the group, not spread it. also, if there's a family problem, there should be a serious discussion about it where the family members will share their feelings and opinions. easier said than done, though.

One very good benefit for being a mylot member, i believe.

You have a point. We can't expect everyone to agree with us. But I don't think that is a reason to back out if we think we have to express something that other people might understand and reflect on. It helps other people think too. Well... ranting is... maybe different people have their own way of ranting. My ranting is harmless I believe so I'm not worried about being rated negative. Besides, being liked is not my priority. It really all comes down to what kind of person we are and what we do in order to help ourselves better without offending anyone.

lmao!! bad and heathly apples! that is such a cute way of putting it! i like that :)

Haha, that could cause trouble but sometimes we have this sadistic tendencies like wanting to fight publicly on facebook. Hopefully it won't be that serious. My boyfriend gets to argue with a lot of people on facebook since he is an admin for some group. He's rather pissed at annoying members so he makes sure he gets rid of those so called 'bad apples' so as not to poison his bunch of healthy apples(means good members of the group he is administering) hehe

You are right my friend. Here in my mylot, we feel that people here understands us more. I trust sharing or ranting here because I get positive reactions or responses from mylotters. Facebook is a different things because we know the people there. In mylot, personal information is limited.

There are many people here who share our feelings or at least try to understand us. On facebook... it's like, if you are not trying to be one of us then you are definitely out. Facebook works differently, but it certainly isn't a site where people can rant or post something like they would write on their diaries. hehe

because mylot people actually bother to read even the longest post just to understand the person who set up the discussion. in facebook, i think most of the people there are is in a hurry for some reason, procrastinating mostly or just bored so they play games, post things and annoy a lot of people.

Thanks. I believe we get more insights here rather than in facebook where most people are superficial.

the good thing about mylot's system is that we can opt to ignore it. It's not like facebook, where updates are shown right in front of our faces even though we don't want to read about it. LOL. Rant as much as you want, no one will hate you for it here. just hope that there is no troll around this website.

I'm sorry to hear that about your daughter. I hope she'll find far better ways to comfort and express herself.

I learned a lot of things from people here on mylot. I'm grateful to them. It's probably very hubris to say that I feel like i'm getting wiser as I spend more time here. hehe

Facebook provides the members too much freedom for their own good, i think. I almost made a fool of myself there before, but good thing i was able to stop myself.

It really depends on how the individual expresses himself here. Each person has his own way of coping and not all of them might find mylot a suitable website to let it all out.

yes, sometimes, it's better to talk to strangers than our friends who would judge us because of our behavior.
