Facebook chat is the new way to argue

Arguing is only easy when it's with your mother. For your peers, arguing is a little bit trickier. Unlike your mother, your peers can decide not to like you anymore, so when it comes to a tiff, altercation, confrontation, etc. one must go about the right way of handling it: facebook chat.
Face to face discussion offer you the chance to screw up. You could make an angry expression, sigh in frustration--this opens the door to a huge argument. Facebook chat allows you to hide those expressions. What was once, "ugh, ok Carol" becomes ";) k carol". Perfect. Bad argument avoided.
In the case where you want to express your thoughts without being trampled on there's a simple solution: type faster. Facebook chat wins again.
Finally, say you want to make a point but usually your too nervous. With facebook chat, there's no one looking back at you, just their words. Sure, you may never see them again, but hey, you won!
Facebook chat is more than just a way to stalk; it's the way we communicate.
