You just need to find better friends. lol. (JK).
On Facebook, you can choose whom you want to associate with. Who’s holding a gun to your head and forcing you to choose such unsavory people for Facebook friends? I choose people who are uplifting, happy, conservative, usually religious, and intelligent. They bring a lot of warmth into my life and many of them already were real-life friends or have become real-life friends. Try it, you might like it.
I’m a frequent user of facebook, and a guy so pretty much definitely not in either of your categories. Sounds to me like you need a higher class of facebook friends, facebook is like a sewer, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.
What are you doing on FB that you are friends with all these people you don’t like?
You have weird facebook “friends” because I sure don’t see that. In fact I see more of that kind of nonsense here on Free Republic than I do with those I connect with on Face Book.
This post of yours being an example of something I don’t see on FB.........
How about you just don’t go on Facebook? I’ve never signed up, and I never will.
Problem solved.
Facebook is cool (and I thought I’d never say it.) I wish I had invented it. But I did meet a man 17 years ago who had an idea like it, as well as an idea for a pad computer. Not some barstool wise guy, but an Indian with two Ph.Ds. I don’t know if he ever followed these ideers, I know that today he’s still where he was then, a teacher at a community college, which is to say, nowhere.
The coolness of it is that it’s an information delivery system where you yourself choose what kinds of information you wish to receive and from what sources. Diss it if you have to, or use it to your advantage.
Well, I wouldn’t go that far. I have no interest in using it, but if others want to or feel the need to, power to them.
The concept just feels too much like a virtual crate to stand on with your arms in the air yelling “Me! Me! Me!”
Now, I know it is nothing like that, because nearly everyone else I know uses it (except my wife!) but it just has no appeal to me.
But hey, that’s me.
read the EULA
I use it to contact family and old friends. They are all ok. I also. Doing to a closed conservative group.
Back in the 1980s when I was at Digital Equipment Corporation we had a world wide network and interacted with each other through a program called VAXnotes. We knew then that when the web came, the ability for people to make complete asses of themselves online to a huge amount of people was inevitable.
Our theory was proven out. Those were good days when us self entitled elites could discuss things like religion and politics without the fecal matter that gets widely splattered against the wall now days.
I have 126 friends on FB. While that's not a lot of FB friends, not one fits your description.
I stick with freerepublic so that nobody knows I’m a dog.
Someone should build an ap for that...when you click on Facebook...a cop flashes on the screen with his hand up and says...”Just keep moving along, there’s nothing to see here”
