I love commandment #4 on the Ten Commandments for Social Media article you linked. This commandment should also apply to online gaming--you would not believe (or maybe you would) how rude and crude and downright nasty chat gets in World of Warcraft. I am positive the offenders think they are being clever or witty, when actually they are neither.

Nice overpopulation site. It's not land - it's water, food, and energy. I remember during my pre-marital Catholic counseling in VA - during the "don't use birth control" class - the teachers talked about how much OPEN SPACE there is in Arizona.

I thought "have you BEEN to Arizona? Most of it's a freaking desert!"

Hi Kx3, I thought that was a useful article too, although for me the best tip was tip #1 (thou shalt not be a narcissist). :)

Marcia, glad you enjoyed it. I'll always support and promote any site or article that helps my readers think critically.
