I'd argue those people that are too lazy/inconsiderate/uncaring to not invite people who are not on FB are not friends at all. It takes a few seconds to text/email someone, sometimes even less if you text/email a wh

They are human beings killing people on command in an unjust situation. They should feel bad. They should be mentally hurt. They shouldn't just go about their lives like they completed a level in a videogame. This is what it means to b

Ads themselves are not defensible. Trying to manipulate others for gain is a disgusting practice. It can lead to depression in individuals and encourages extreme materialism in culture. There's no such thing as an acceptable ad.
