Can I exchange 2 creams, 2 sugars and my Life for a Steriotype please?

They say don't read into it, how can you not!? What does this say about us as Americans? I know I'm going on a limb here but it's disheartening and draining. Sometimes I just get so not flattered to have a facebook account when the main wall just looks like a reflection of ones boredom. I'm not big into the Quizzes, they're fun but I just don't think I would subject myself excessively for something SO short lived and easily told to anyone. I've seen some quiz results pictures (made by facebook users) which display what seems like, overused or stigmatizing icons for what something is or isn't. They're pretty bogus when it comes to consideration of others. I know they should not be taken seriously but it is part of branding ones identity and it tends to remove the person as a human and exchanges a life for a stereotype. The only good light I can shine on taking quizzes online is that it is great when you're bored...?!.. I'm trying to make this rant as non-bias as possible. Help me!
I remember when I was younger and doing that was crucial in defining who I was but later it didn't cut it for me. The world is meant for experiences and if you are capable of thinking yourself down a path of boredom, you're brain will do all the work and the people around you will get an idea for what you're up to, doin' quizzes! There's more depth in researched topics out in the world than quizzes or surveys that make clutter and produce addicts who are then turned into domesticated lemmings on a journey to the romantic moon and back! Yes, all in good fun!

P.S. This rant is only on facebook quizzes and surveys not stuff like blogs or polls those are different species thought one could in fact totally argue that but... save that for laterrrr......
