But then I'm also not that active on it
People do need to realise it isn't like a "real" world conversation though - things posted on to the internet are on there permanently for everyone to see, regardless of how much it might offend people.
Edit: I do wonder if at some point in the next few years there will be a backlash against social media, as more people realise the impact of leaving permanent thoughts posted across the internet, in public, that can haunt them in the future or offend/ annoy friends and family.

Particularly with regards to what employers find useful from fb.
I talked to another friend about this this morning, and she is very Christian. Very. I was surprised to find out that she agrees with me, rather than the black/white, cut and dried opinion of the first friend. Her response when I mentioned this surprise: "I got old. I realized that the world isn't what we want it to be, it is what it is."

You complain about football comments, and then you post things like that?

Because he's your only offensive player who seems at all effective?

Hasn't he got a reputation for being able to start a fight in an empty room though?

Facebook is about the casual insulting of opposed political, religious and social viewpoints.
