FaceBook is my only regular contact with my kids, and with friends in other cities. If you can't tell the difference then you should stay away from it.

Unfortunately you're right for the most part. Most people don't seem to be able to tell the difference, so they do have hundreds of "friends" whom they don't know and don't really care to. All my friends are people I care about.
My fault. I lacked precision on the "friends" part. I wanted to refer to the infamous "friends" button that makes strangers your so-called "friends".
