Took the kids for a bush walk to the Figure-8 pool at Burning Palms this morning to show them where SHMBO and I got engaged many years ago.

Had to wait for 10 minutes to get even get close to it because of all the people queuing up to take a multiple selfies in every pose imaginable.

Get on board, you don't know what you are missing, can send it to all your friends, lookatme,lookatme.

My theory is people like to talk about themselves. It's therapy. Nobody is listening. It's like going to the shrink and just talking away in the chair while they sleep.
Oh yeah, and the self talk now includes photographs. Of yourself.

I can remember my soon to be wife telling me of for doing selfies with our ye olde filum camera 30 years ago, tough camera that surviving my head.

Not really an advocate of the selfie, but how many times did you used to hear "How come your never in the photo?"

'Like, OMG you look so pretty' or 'wow you look great' or 'ohhhh loook at your kids aren't they just aanngelllls'

has a lot to do with it.

Seriously, look at any teenager or a woman's FB some time. Vapid shallow needy society

Never has so many needed to read that so badly.

and how many of you own the worst type of selfie device - the go-pro?

So masculinity in the end cannot be characterized by the wealth, it has to be characterized by qualities like integrity, honesty, humility and a willingness to contain one's need for materialistic power.

Gotta agree with this. The selfie obsession is way overblown and annoying....

....however the use of a "selfie stick" and gopro session with a remote on a recent holiday allowed full family shots and videos at the touch of a button where before one of us was always missing or no one in the picture/vid at all...

Maybe I looked like a d*ck using it, but the personal worth and watchability of my family shots and vids went through the roof.....

whats wrong with selfies

they can be sad and funny at the same time

Kitty Flanagan said it best: "When she went to school if you took a photo of yourself it wasn't called a SELFIE, it was called an I F#CKEN LOVE MYSELFIE"
