Thanks, The Facebook Team
If you don’t like it personally, so be it. But there is certainly nothing wrong with it. People having problems with it usually bring it on themselves. It’s a fun thing to do, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Stupid comparison. Drugs are illegal. Drugs are harmful to the human body. What I like to do is no more wrong than whatever hobby or pasttime that you like to do that I may not care for.
I never said Facebook was 'wrong' I said it had no useful function, it is purely social.
I don't have to experience something to know it is a waste of time.
Fine, I never said otherwise, it was you who jumped on me for saying I saw no useful function in it.
That is not why people are on it.
It may be a waste of time for you but it’s not for the hundreds of thousands of people who use it and enjoy it every day. Speak for yourself.
Facebook is fine.
Most of my friends are boring and I don’t have too many but I do occasionally hear news about friends and relatives that I would not otherwise know.
I don’t post anything I would be ashamed to put in the paper... altho I did just post that everytime I see Natalie Portman in a movie, I want to slap her.... but I digress.
Facebook is like everything else. You can use it or you can abuse it.
A lot of people brag about not owning a television. This just tells me that they don’t have the discipline to use television in a good way.
It is no more useful then video games.
And that is why I had no use for it.
Got anymore stupid remarks to make?
I was wondering when you would resort to name calling. No one said it was useful, just enjoyable. Obviously you have a problem with others enjoying themselves. Too bad you can’t.
I asked if you were going to say anything else stupid.
Maybe you need to spend less time on Facebook and more time reading.
Maybe you need to spend less time answering what you call “stupid” responses on FreeRepublic and more time doing something that you consider more worthwhile. Your arguments are now resorting to throwing insults around.
It shows your lack of knowledge of FB. Therefore you can’t really comment with any credibility. None of your comments have made any sense. The fact that you compared it to drug usage proves that. FB is no more of a liability to its users than those who spend time at the movies or watching TV. It’s just another form of entertainment. Sorry you feel you are superior to something that you know nothing about.
Don’t give FB real info. My town listed is a few thousand miles from where I live, same with other thing. And I change things occasionally.
I view FB as a big joke anyway.
My daughter has our dogs name for her name! Everyone knows who she is.
Clearly, you have a problem grasping principals.
Your claim to 'experience' being the guide to understanding the value of something was a false one, hence you could have inserted any word for 'drugs' that one would not need to experience to understand their uselessness.
FB is useless, it is simply social networking and is for bored, self absorbed people who want to think they are important because people are paying attention to them. So, I do know about it, and your defensive attitude on it shows I have struck a nerve.
And if you want to keep arguing about this, feel free I will be happy to continue to do so.

Correction-that should have read 'I have NOT thrown any insults'.
Also, I apologize for the double post, slow computer.
Your loss Saxie! Facebook is, like it or not, the most intellectually stimulating invention since Gutenberg.
If you’re already on FB, it’s too late. They’ll delete your profile, but not the gathered information.
Testy, aren’t we? I laughed when I read your post. It appears you are the bored, self-absorbed person who is grateful that someone is out there paying attention to you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be spending so much idle time replying to another who you feel is a loser in life.
While FreeRepublic was down, you know what I was doing? I was on Facebook on the Freerepublic page talking to others on Freerepublic.(BTW, I told them what you said and they got a chuckle out of it just as I did.) Jim Rob, the founder of FR, the same FR in which you partake, was on FB letting us know the status of the technical glitches and when we could expect FR to come back up.
Military families who keep in touch with their loved ones overseas I suppose are bored and self-absorbed.
Let’s see, JimRob, Freerepublic, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, those in the military who use FB to keep in touch with family and friends back home, all have FB pages. All losers according to you. If I had to hang around “losers”, I can’t think of a better bunch to hang out with. So you see, you DON’T know what you’re talking about. Don’t join FB. We don’t want you. Since you think you’re so superior to everyone else, you can wallow in your misery and loneliness, but I have a great group of friends and I’m happy. Sorry if that bothers you, which it aparently does. I will not feed your ego any longer.
I did not initiate this discussion, you did.
If Facebook ended tomorrow, the world would take very little note, except for individuals such as yourself, who would have to find other means to keep themselves amused.
As I said, if you want to keep arguing about this, I will be right here to do so.
I see, so you are asserting Video games are useless? They have no redeeming value whatsoever?
