hey guys guess what hitler ate sugar better stop eating anything with sugar in it or you're a strongly anti-semitic dictator
Fallacies all up in this bitch.
[QUOTE=Rellow;37133592]hey guys guess what hitler ate sugar better stop eating anything with sugar in it or you're a strongly anti-semitic dictator[/QUOTE] OH SNAP, HE ALSO ATE BREAD Really, we should stop that know. I think anyone who's able to use his head for something else than nodding towards idiotic theories should know that no facebook =/= potential murderer. Also, I'm too busy being autistic, therefore I can't give a shit about the life of someone else.
[QUOTE=Marbalo;37133747]Lacking facebook doesn't make you a potential murderer. It does however, make you socially inept/shy. Unless you live in a small town and can easily keep in touch with your friends and family, not having a Facebook in 2012 is very weird. Nothing to cause an alarm, it's just a strong indicative of a reserved personality.[/QUOTE] And it can't mean something like a person prefers contact with others through other channels such as telephone, text, email, or in person interaction? I don't see how interacting with people through Facebook is less social than actually interacting with people. This whole thread just kind of sounds like a case of, 'if you don't do it the way my friends and I do, there must be something wrong with you."
I hope everyone in this thread has at least tried Facebook for an appreciable amount of time. I swear I was skeptic as hell, and I tried it, and I love it.
Okay, good, at the very least you tried it. I feel like some people will be benefited by its use. I certainly am. [editline]8th August 2012[/editline] I like the negative ratings on my post. Don't try new things. New things are bad.

Nobody's even saying that. It's just a correlation. Any time there is a thread or news story that suggests a correlative relationship, everyone shits all over it by insisting that the story is claiming a causative relationship. I'm all in favor of "correlation does not imply causation" but this is simply not the way to go about it.
All I ever need to interact with friends and family is phone, steam and skype. Haven't used facebook and don't intend to.
lol why is facebook such a big deal for people? this is what happens when you commit your entire life to an internet site
Again I'd advise you to try it. Even if you add a few friends and these friends are from the shit tier of Facebook that actually posts Adalia Rose and "This cancer patient is so beautiful!", and hate it, and got rid of it immediately, at least you tried it.

[editline]8th August 2012[/editline] guy before Thisispain[/QUOTE] I did try it, it offers nothing over what I already use. But then again I don't have hundreds of relatives. I have about 20 people on skype and and about 10 on steam who I know. Do I need facebook to talk to them? Not at all.
You said you hadn't used it. Oh whatever. Fine. You've paid your toll to elecbullet and I am sated for the most part, I'll not try to convince [I]you[/I] any further.

I do not work for Facebook, although you might have gotten that from my very valiant defenses of it. But I have experienced very good outcomes from using Facebook, having been initially very skeptical myself, and after initially making an account and not touching it for months, being uninterested. It's led me to more social interactions and given me an easy way to communicate with my friends. I said earlier that my crush (of three years in a few days) was using it to contact me, which is true. That feels kinda good. There are negative bits. Adalia Rose does make her unwarranted appearances. Mostly it is one and only one friend that I have recently added who is in that class of Facebookers who feels it is necessary to paste these things on my wall, but I am not bothered enough to unfriend her. She's only one, out of 72 added friends, who is legitimately annoying. Other people in this thread seem to indicate disgust for at least the majority of Facebookers, something I have not experienced. [editline]8th August 2012[/editline] I just want other people to have the good experiences I've had is all.

I don't have a facebook. I'm not antisocial. Fuck this shit.

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;37134616]Why can't you be social on the Internet?[/QUOTE] You seem to be claiming that it's the ONLY way to be social.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;37134616]Why can't you be social on the Internet?[/QUOTE] The general stereotype of people who spend more than 3 hours on the internet is that they're anti-social basement dwellers.
Hardly. When in hell did I imply anything that would even remotely imply that? Furthermore, that implication, were it to exist, is so preposterous that upon reading a post and somehow extracting that from the post, one should seriously reconsider the extent of their reading skills.

It would actually be nice if more people just got off of facebook. Facebook isn't real life and most of the time, people just copy pasta meme shit on there. Does anyone have something of value to post on facebook? Sounds like some sort of conspiracy to get more people hooked on the system, the system that is facebook. This is the paranoid in me typing, but the mainstream just wants us to be facebook sheep.
i'm sorry to disappoint you dude but the mainstream doesn't care about you at all and has no interest in getting you to do anything
Just defend your own antisocial tendencies harder guys
[QUOTE=Clementine;37134913]Just defend your own antisocial tendencies harder guys[/QUOTE] you are quite the social butterfly, relentlessly insulting people you barely know. keep up the good work dude
What? So now I'm most likely an insane mass murderer for not having a Facebook account? What the fuck is this bullshit!? HOW DARE THEY?! That's fucking discrimination! It makes me furious, I'm going to take my dad's rifle and slaughter all of them!! That'll teach them!!
[QUOTE=Dori;37134925]you are quite the social butterfly, relentlessly insulting people you barely know. keep up the good work dude[/QUOTE] That's hilarious coming from you
