yes or no. facebook encourages people to careless with privacy and less social in real life?

[ernst]

Being a loyal member of Facebook is the worst way to waste valuable time, when there are more wonderful things in real life they could be doing with real people. These folks usually are internet addicts who have no life, or are shut-ins.

As for privacy, they give out so much personal information even a complete novice can get the goods on them if they wanted.

So, the answer is "yes" on both counts—which is truely sad in that their world rests behind a computer. Even Yahoo! Answers is a little more than I can bare. I've so much to live for, and make sure I'm living it!
