Unless your Friends all come from one socio-economic-ethnic group, your page is likely to offer a bizarre study of the prevailing preoccupations of human beings.
Today, the entries on my page cover:
- the progress of a family's vomiting bug
- pictures of a party buffet
- beach photos from a long-haul destination holiday
- pictures of Indian street children on their first-ever outing
- cute puppy pix
- the demise of a pet rabbit
- the ongoing saga of somebody's slimming regime
- a request for sponsorship for a homeless sleep-out
- acerbic postings on Israeli/Palestinian politics
- appreciation of a Christian/Muslim reconciliation initiative
- cute baby pix
- a complaint about Christmas marketing - enough already!
- adverts for 'must-have' goods for the 'discerning' purchaser
- girls in glitzy clothes and poses
- reports from a project for trafficked Cambodian women
- the latest piteous instalment of an ongoing battle with cancer
- forwarded inspirational/motivational cliches
- cute horse pix
- children on stage in extravagant costumes and exuberant smiles
and
- news of yet another execution of a US Death Row prisoner whose evidence of innocence has been dismissed or disregarded.
Just a taste of the some of the priorities that compete for our attention every day.
Which will win?
