Not with social media, just Facebook, and solely for its unethical practices. I hate the fact that an entity can take my info and install things on my computer without asking, despite the fact I have never once signed up with them. I hate the fact that it pushes you to play its retarded games and quizzes once you do sign up and allows your friends to bother you to play it also. And I REALLY hate it that their security is complete and utter shit, allowing viruses into your computer because they don't keep an eye on their ads/games/quizzes.
Twitter I think is just stupid because honestly the vast majority of the people posting tweets are saying the most boring things like what they had for dinner. It is a good tool for things that need up-to-date info, but unfortunately a good tool can easily be misused.

The pushing retarded games part isn't true, your own friends are responsible for that. I do agree though, their security is shitty and the lack of privacy disturbing.
That you find Twitter a waste of time I can understand, but the same thing can be said about most things on the internet. Unless you mean something else by misused?

More a waste of time than usual I mean. No matter who someone's friends are, none of them care about that colossal shit they just took.
Now in the case of, say, the London Riots? Practically instant updates on the situation, allowing people to see the event as it unfolded. That's a great thing, and a great use for Twitter.

Well obviously someone does care, or else nobody would use it. People are weird like that sometimes. Still, harmless enough.

If I had my way, I'd get a team of the brightest people in teh world to prove that there is, in fact, magic among us.
Or legalize public orgies, whichever comes to mind first.

Voting? Sure. Just ask everyone if they'd vote for me, and if they say no, kill them.

I'd do something completely ridiculous but awesome at the same time. Like start extensive genetic engineering projects to create actual Pokemon.

Start with rampardos. They're already making chickens into dinosaurs, so you have a headstart there.

If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring
If I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,
Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred
My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams
If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man coud end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world
Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world

I think generation 2 was the best and here's the reason, The Pokegear was awesome, the Pokenav was terrible, and the Poketch had too many useless apps and not enough useful ones. Also in Black and white NPCs can call your awesome 4 way phone, that was kind of the whole reason I liked it. Team Rocket's revival was far more interesting than Team Aqua or Magma flooding or spreading drought onto the world, and seriously, no one liked Team Cipher. Team Plasma however, interested me, more N but still, on that note Black and White is just as good. The reason why Team Rocket was more interesting was delivery, Team Magma, Aqua and Cipher just seemed to be running around while Team Rocket seemed to know what they were doing. Plus, going to two regions and fighting every gym leader was a great idea that they should have continued doing, I don't mean putting in, what is now 5 regions, into Black and White, but still give the ability to go to two or three.
The Pokemon designs are all about opinion so I won't even touch that.
It's not just, hurrdurr it was first, there are reasons they're better.

I liked how you were able to fight two sets of gym leaders in generation 2
