Wilma,
The postings on Facebook, by women, about what appears to be places they like to have sex are not what you think.

There was a breast cancer awareness campaign that asked women to answer a question about where they put their handbag when the enter the house. The replies look like

“I like it on the bed”. “I like it on the dresser” etc.

[Daphne – That’s called a nudge-nudge-wink-wink innuendo, ToWilma. You’d have to be nuts to answer that sort of question. ‘I like it on the bed’? Come on. And windsurfers do it standing up.]

Are these people mad? They look quite ordinary at the school gates, and now I can’t see them in the same light any more. They can have sex in the kitchen as much as they like – who cares? – but the last thing they should do is speak about it in a public discussion. Maybe they think they’re starring in their own version of SATC.

Then there are men in their mid-forties who are Facebook Friends with their children’s schoolfriends. Can’t they see how weird this is? Do the children’s mothers think it’s OK if some other people’s daddies are ‘friends’ with their kids?

Maybe it’s too much to expect them to see what’s weird and unsafe and what isn’t, given the way some of them behave when on Facebook. They even post embarrassing and compromising pictures of their own children, without a thought as to how the children might feel about it, or how they might be teased at school.

There are also teachers who are Facebook Friends with their pupils? What in heaven’s name are they thinking? How can those children treat their teachers with respect if they are exposed to their often inane comments, photos or trivial personal information?

The more I see, the more I despair, honestly.

What’s this about Berlusconi and another under-aged girl? Is he seeking the fountain of lost youth? No wonder his wife chucked him out and is taking him to the cleaners over alimony payments.
