If You're Not On Facebook, It's Time To Get Over Yourself - General

I only made a facebook for the logitech giveaway for red orchestra. :saddowns:

I deleted my facebook a few months ago. I'm against it, people get too serious about it. My friend got mad because i didn't write happy birthday on his wall. What is that shit? also farmville and cafe world got way too competitive lol

Classic case of where a cunt tries to push facebook onto you by admitting it sucks, but heavily implying that you should still use it. Fuck you Facebook. I'm waiting until they implant a bar code on my forehead. Until then, my info is mine to keep.

[QUOTE]So, don't be that grouch in 2011 who misses out on connecting with the rest of the world because you'd rather sound like a 21st century rebel; some sort of obnoxious pseudo-Thoreau, whose Walden is just an empty computer and a lonely life.[/QUOTE] Thanks, so because I either talk to my friends IRL or call them using a cellphone or Skype I am suddenly a "obnoxious pseudo-Thoreau" for wanting a closer relationship with my friends. Fuck you too dumbass, and yes, I use facebook when my closest friends put up videos of something interesting, not much else.

I like having a lot of friends on Facebook. I'm good friends with roughly 100 of the people on my Facebook, acquainted with nearly all of the rest of them, and I'm making even more friendships through Facebook. I use the IM feature extensively, usually talking to at least two people at a time. I like the "hurr durr dumb status updates" because I think they're amusing and fun to comment on. And I post plenty of them myself, as I don't see anything wrong with it. Facebook's a great website if you open up to it and stop being so cranky and cynical about it. All the Farmville-type apps are annoying as hell though. But you can block requests from them.

The only friends i have are from school. Mostly the ones who hate me.

Facebook is okay, it's not really [i]that[/i] good, but it was the best when it became public, and gained popularity. If someone came out with something 10x better than facebook, not many people would use it because there's already a half billion people on facebook.

The thing I don't like is that your potential employer can look up and automatically judge you without looking even talking you first.

I met my current girlfriend over facebook.

Well fuck them, I will NEVER succumb to facebook. Also, what's wrong with antisocial behavior, I do it every day (at least, if you count trolling as that).

I made a Facebook a couple years ago to try to make more friends. Needless to say that failed pretty bad and all I got was girls IRL trolling me by pretending to like me.

Am I really the only one that doesn't care that much about privacy? Oh no! Facebook is showing me ads relevant to my interests, Fuck those greedy corporate bastards! Oh man my email spam box I never look at anyways is filling up! Shit that random guy from Kentucky knows that I would Prefer Kurt Cobain over Miley Cirrus !I better change my name and move to Mexico! I get that you don't want some guy knowing where you live but that's why you don't put things like that online. You aren't forced to put your phone number or where you work. You put that up there.

If you use it responsibly it's fine. I have my privacy locked down and it's a good medium to catch up with friends and quickly share information (if a situation warrants texting to be impractical) It's also a good way to get a reality check about what freaky people creep on ya. I get weird friend requests and messages all the time. Then again, it's the internet. I don't think it's necessary, but like the OP says, it's really just a good idea... even if you don't frequently use it or check it

I totally need to get over myself because I abstained from yet another trivial, social time-bite in my life. Totally. I keep in touch with my good friends by either seeing them face-to-face, calling or sending an email. Not to mention the fact that your Facebook is the absolute first off-the-record place any potential new friend, boss or military superior will look when you're trying to get anywhere. And this isn't bullshit, either. My recruitment office, Air Force, just had a guy a few months back who aced his tests and was doing fine physically. He was set for an in-demand job that not many were qualified for, Parajumper. He lost his job the instant his recruiter's superior checked his Facebook and saw "Lots of gang-affiliation." For me, Facebook is just the grown-up version of MySpace. And even if you paint a piece of shit golden and give it a diploma, it's still a piece of shit. :v:

It's not that I'm one of these people who REFUSE to use it, it's just that I know I wouldn't get on much if I had one

I used to sit at home alone for all hours of the day, after I started using Facebook more frequently, I got out of the house multiple times throughout the week, and i'm always invited to parties and such.

[QUOTE=Death n1;29277625]Fuck this article telling me what to do. I'm a rebel, fuck you! I don't want to use a social website so I must be anti-social because the majority of it is filled with retarded idiots that can't spell for shit.[/QUOTE] I only rated this dumb because of the rebel shit you added, or else I would have agreed. "Hey, I'm a rebel because I don't use a social networking website."

[QUOTE=Pasalaqcua;29276875] Everyone knows one of those self righteous Facebook abstainers.[/QUOTE] Well I now know one of those self-righteous types, that's for sure.

I used to use Myspace, it was garbage from my experience. I can't imagine FB being any different. If anyone needs to get over themselves, it's the writer of this article.

Yeah, you are right, give your personal infromation to everyone on the internet! Identity fraud has never been so easy.

I like Facebook.

I find it funny. I get to see which of my friends have completely uninformed opinions, like "Barack Obama is a Socialist", or "9/11 was a setup".

I used to not have a facebook account. but then i made a facebook account. Now, i have a facebook account. funny how that works.

Facebook is the ideal place for trolling.

Once in a while the posters on Facepunch annoy me more than the people on Facebook.

Facebook is trollbook.

i fucking hate people that post status updates on facebook. so annoying. i don't mind it if you post a funny link, or something interesting, but i dont care that you're at work, or that you're eating a sandwich, and i doubt anyone else does. facebook is a great tool for communication though

It's pretty telling about people. Like; Girl is suddenly texting me and asking to hang out and such. I browse her Facebook and see she has a boyfriend. Find out that she thinks I'm cute and wants to get with me, whilst still in a relationship with someone out of state. Yeah, fuck that. Not to mention she's immature and kind of dumb. Oh well.
