Relationship Found Between Facebook and Syphilis

Guns don't cause murder, but they sure help. Facebook doesn't cause sexual encounters; it increases the number of sexual encounters someone has if they were already in live with that behavior pattern.

It makes whores more efficient. OH LORD WHAT HAVE I BECOME!

Facebook is just an enabling technology for people to collectively do all kinds of things. There are many social networking sites, of various socially conservative (not) tangents out there as well as dating sites. I wonder if there's been studies to see if any of these sites have an increased rate of STD's amongst their site members?

For once, I find a news report that uses proper terminology; as state above "Today’s reports exaggerate the comments made by the professor, and ignore the difference between correlation and causation".

I'd like to thank the people who made an effort to distinguish both. For the others: Correlation does not imply causation.

...In other news, researchers also find a correlation between Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Facebook/Twitter/Myspace

You can find casual sex on facebook? Maybe I need to finally get an account. What is this casual sex group called?

I just posted it on mine, too, stating "and I thought Craigslist was the culprit." Really, if you look around, EVERYTHING is sold on Craigslist...including sex, including people looking for casual encounters.
