- and should they really be doing it if he doesn't want any part of it? -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 08:53 4
  - I imagine that's why they're discussing it... -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 08:57 3
    - sounds like it's not really a discussion, in fact. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 09:00 1

  - You are kidding right? I would be furious if my spouse posted that on Facebook - amoxy Sep 2, 08:57 13
    - yes I know but I've seen divorces and breakups on facebook, adultry, affairs, nothing suprises me anymore -- nm - Stacy Sep 2, 08:59 1
      - which is sort of exactly why you should post things like this. it leads to divorces. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 09:04
    - peer pressure is what makes facebook popular, amoxy. --nm - Son of Cloverfield Sep 2, 08:59 10

        well, it will allow you to do that barn expansion you've been pressured to do -- nm - decline Sep 2, 09:08
        
        I don't think Stacy is saying what she is doing is right, just the why she is doing it part. -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 09:07 1
        
        exactly -- nm - Stacy Sep 2, 09:10
        
        fyi - people aren't playing farmville because of peer pressure, unless they are twelve. they play it because they want to. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 09:05 1
        
        the whole basis for the game revolves around peer pressure...help me with this crop, join my farmville, you may think you are in control but - Stacy Sep 2, 09:10
