I see so once again you morph your argument. Give up on the "its only entertainment" claim I see"...! BTW Facebook is looming large in the Recall election in Wisconsin. Rallies are being organized and GOTV initiatives.

So lets review once again your claims.

!. "No one would notice if Facebook went away Tomorrow." (such is laughable how easy that one is to disprove. Over 500 Million use it every single day and to claim they would not miss it is indeed LOL laughable.)

2. "Facebook is not useful." (900 million active accounts which includes individuals, civic groups, Cities and Townships, Churches, Retail Businesses and Manufacturing corporations Charities and Non Profits. Again Laughable. Hard to argue all those people aren't engage in Facebook daily if they don't find it useful.)

3. "Its only for entertainment." (hahaha Well being a large portion of the accounts are business accounts and being Towns Cities, Civic Organizations and Businesses and such all use Facebook to promote and inform and conduct Business anyone with an IQ higher than that of a box of rocks can see how dumb that statement is.)

And now your latest try at getting something right: "Facebook users know Facebook is worthless because of the stock price." Well I was just on Facebook Hello Music was running a contest giving away a free Les Paul Guitar and running specials on Some recording equipment. To enter the contest YOU Must be on Facebook. two thousand dollar guitar and they give one away each month (as well as Drums an Microphones etc.) bo Mention of the Price of Facebook stock. Nor was there on the Local Baptist Church informing their Facebook followers about Sundays Services and a Bake sale they are having. Nor Did the Local boy Scout troop Mention anything about Facebook Stock Price But they did have lots of info on their upcoming activities. And the New Music Group 2SteelGirls just launched their Facebook Page (they are from our Area and are about to break on the Video Channels) if they think Facebook is worthless because of the Stock Price why would they launch their FB page now.

So once again you've got it wrong. hahahaha

1. No one is 'morphing' anything, you are just trying to set up strawmen, since your defense of FB as a REAL value is shot to pieces by the Market. 2. Yes, those on FB would find something else to do

Because a lot of people would be effected, the world wouldn't.

The World has about 6 billion people in it.

3. Never said FB had no use, I said it had no REAL use.

The fact that many people are on FB doesn't prove that it has any real value.

It only shows that it is popular.

4. Never said it was only for entertainment, clearly you either have a hard time reading.

I said it's primary use was entertainment.

The other uses are relatively small in comparison to people simply talking about themselves.

5. You use examples that have nothing to do with the ESSENTIAL value of FB.

That SOME items can get sold on FB doesn't mean anything in comparison to the fact that FB is MOSTLY for individuals to talk about what is going on in their daily lives, things that most people could care about.

Clear enough yet?

Now, you can keep posting the nonsense you want about FB social uses, but that doesn't change the fact that FB is simply a popular social network that means very little in the real world.

And for every positive you list about FB, there is also a negative regarding privacy concerns and to children.

But you keep posting your nonsense, I will be here to refute it with the truth-sparky.

Colombian courts on Thursday sentenced two men to over 25 years in prison for the murder of university student Ana Maria Chavez Niño, reported Colombian media.

Juan Sebastian Obando and John Anderson Sierra were found guilty of homicide and theft, each receiving a sentence of 25 years, two months and three days in prison.

The murder took place in November 2009 in the Quinta Paredes neighborhood in Bogota, after the convicted men reportedly made contact with Chavez Niño through Facebook.

According to reports, the crime took place when the victim invited Obando and Sierra into her home, after they won her trust through the social networking website.

The convicted men will serve their sentence in the Modelo prison in Bogota.

This is Very Important

Facebook allows everyday people to share the minutiae of their daily lives with trusted friends and family, to easily distribute photos and videos - if you use it regularly you know how it has made a very real impact on families and social groups that used to communicate very infrequently. Accessible social networking technology changes communication between people in a way similar to if not as intensely as the introduction of the telephone and the printing press. It changes the fabric of peoples’ lives together. 350 million people signed up for Facebook under the belief their information could be shared just between trusted friends. Now the company says that’s old news, that people are changing. I don’t believe it.

I think Facebook is just saying that because that’s what it wants to be true.

Whether less privacy is good or bad is another matter, the change of the contract with users based on feigned concern for users’ desires is offensive and makes any further moves by Facebook suspect

Still laughing?

Don't change my arguments to make yourself appear better.

Whatever uses FB has other then merely etertainment, are countered by many negatives as well.

So, no one has 'morphed' anything, you just want to read what you want to read and hope no one can see your arguments are full of hot air.
