No. They are by trait the same thing, with slight differences, which obviously can create you prefering one to the other. But the say one sucks and one is awesome is a bit ridiculous.

I disagree. They are of similar concept only, there are vast differences between them and when used regularly you come to experience this. Saying one is awesome and another one sucks is perfectly feasible, because you're providing your opinion on each. I think you'll find that's what started the discussion so you simply cannot suggest it's wrong. Personal opinion, etc. 🙂

Again, I didn't say that you can't be of that opinion...I just regard is as ridiculous, because, even though they do offer some different services. They are still quite similar. I don't understand why someone would think Facebook sucks while lets say Bebo is awesome...especially those two are very similar in my opinion. Also, where's the courtesy for my opinion? I think they are basically the same, show a little respect for that opinion, too doped

I wasn't asking you to respect my opinion, we can agree to disagree I'm sure. I was suggesting you try to appreciate that making personal statements about each website is valid, because it's opinion.

So, someone says Facebook is awesome and MySpace sucks? Fair enough. They are different enough for it to make sense. This certain someone may prefer the applications that Facebook provides to elements of MySpace, therefore in their mind Facebook is the better site.

Why don't you understand that one site may be preferable to another? They each provide different services, some provide things that others miss completely. There's the explanation.

E-exactly. I just gave reasons why I think my opinion is correct.

I disagree. I don't think they are really different enough to make you believe one sucks if you'd have done enough research. I think and at least Scarlet Speed aknowledged that for his opinion, that if someone says Myspace sucks and Facebook is awesome, it is likely that they just excessively use Facebook and have many friends there and are involved which obviously makes them like that site more, but, which, in no way, makes Myspace horrible because of it. So, in my opinion, people that think that one of those services suck, but enjoy one of the other, are probably just ignorant of the service they dislike or never got into. It seems more like football fan thinking than actual reasoning. Knowutamsayin?

I was trying to get across that they may be awesome/suck completely in someone's opinion, although not necessarily in reality. So my point is and has been right from the offset that it's perfectly acceptable to say it's awesome or it sucks because it's opinion. It doesn't mean either site is actually better or worse, only that they suit someone's preference.

Therefore it's unfair of you to say that it's ridiculous to make such statements.

hmm

Yes, I understand. You're exactly right. But where did I suggest that one site was actually better? I don't think I said either was made wrong, or didn't work as well. They both function correctly. I only said that saying someone's preference is ridiculous is not fair. I prefer Facebook, I dislike Myspace. Facebook is better in my opinion. That's not ridiculous, that's my preference.

Yeah. 😐

Sorry 😮

If that's the case fair enough. But if it is just a statement out of ignorance it is not "perfectly acceptable", in my opinion. And needs to be explained or argued.

Why? Why is the opinion that one of them sucks okay, but my opinion that making such a statement is ridiculous is unfair?

You didn't, but I wasn't arguing about your statement. You were arguing about mine...and again, I said it is perfectly reasonable not to like one or the other...but would you attribute that to Myspace sucking? Does Myspace, as a site, really suck, in your opinion?

'tis okay.

So, to conclude, if you say "suck" as in "I don't like it". Fair enough. But if you say "suck" as in "that site is really much worse factually than the other", then that is ridiculous to me.

I agree with you, fully.

You just said yourself that you don't think such statements are ridiculous if explained properly. In this case, they weren't explained, so your opinion is valid and I apologise 😛

Myspace as a site doesn't necessarily suck although there are definite glitches that irritate me. Such as 'A Myspace error has occurred...' or whatever the wording is. Every other page or something? Drove me mad when I used the site regularly. As for the comparison with Facebook, Myspace could certainly benefit from applications or something along the same lines. Although, having mentioned that, one thing about Facebook that gets on my nerves is being forced to invite friends when you don't want to. So in that respect, Facebook sucks 😂

'tis okay.

So, to conclude, if you say "suck" as in "I don't like it". Fair enough. But if you say "suck" as in "that site is really much worse factually than the other", then that is ridiculous to me.

I agree ✅

Facebook sucks.

Facebook blows.
