Does this mean that ATS has low self esteem?

Facebook can be good for somethings, but it is true that if you start to thrieve in such a community rather then a discussion forum like ats, you really are more into shallow things and appearance then into deep thinking and substance.

Facebook is just another way to communicate with people.
We communicate with people in one way here, and in another way on Facebook.

government gestapo thug # 1 : hey buddy, how can we further spy on our ignorant citizens? i'm talking gathering all information on them, who their friends are, their political views, their pictures, even the movies and music that preoccupy their tiny little brains?
government nazi control freak # 2: I know, let's set up a site where we can monitor everyones day to day activities and communications... we'll call it social networking!!!
government gestapo thug # 1 : but do you honestly think they are dumb enough to fall for it?
government nazi control freak # 2 : of course, they watch fox news and buy bottled water don't they?
government gestapo thug # 1 : good point, let's do it!!!
