Is it time for you to delete your Facebook account permanently? This guy thinks so, and his arguments may just convince you. You should take a moment to hear what he has to say and then decide for yourself.

Facebook All social media is evil.

A "Twitter War?" How stoopid is that?

Giant waste of time.

Do you think I really care that you just took a dump and are now going to Outback for supper? Do you?

All social media is evil.

Free Republic is social media.

Not calling you out or anything... just sayin'.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

What Facebook account? Never had one. Nor MySpace or any other of those things.

I don't care what anybody says, I'm not getting rid of that 8 track player in my truck. With my luck, whatever replaced it will be obsolete the next day anyway.

LOL, do you still have a VCR too? Actually, I deleted my face book long ago. I tried twitter too, but deleted it within 2 days.

I have a smart phone and love it.

When I am in a waiting room ( lots of that lately for me) I can ignore CNN on the TV, and come here to FR, or see what headlines are on Drudge, or surf the news——Breitbart, News-busters, etc. I can email, go to google and whatever. Keeps me occupied, and happy. My bookmarks have language lessons, poetry, and so on.

AND —— when my computer at home goes down for what ever reason— power outage or techie problem, I have my smart phone to lean on.

Oh ya— I can make phone calls and send text messages, too.

I am not a techie person and rarely go to Facebook, but I do love my Smart Phone. ( and I’m not into games.)

Not trying to get you to have one, dear FRiends. Just pointing out some of their advantages.

I understand the allure, I just don’t need the distraction :-0

[CARTOUCHE]

I divested a few weeks ago after someone charged $199 worth of merchandise. Paypal reversed the charge but it had occurred at Facebook. Don’t ask me, I rarely used Facebook.

[bgill]

The need for attention and sharing of photos among family members which pretty much equates to the frst reason.

I don't crave attention and wish more people would leave me alone. If I want to see the relatives, I'll wait until the next funeral. Sorry, every baby picture looks just like the previous 50 million. I don't care what flavor Starbucks Betty Lou got this morning or that Billy Bob got a new battery for his golf cart. And no one needs to know if I'm contemplating cleaning out the toe jam or not. Ok, if you must know, I'm leaving the toe jam to build up and start a collection.

I’m not wearing pants....for real.

I hate the little tiny screen. My eyes aren’t great anymore and I like my laptop. If I’m not where I can get online, I just deal with not being able to get online. I mean, I lived a good 30 years without internet, before it became The Thing. I can manage.

Delete my FAKE Facebook account? No way Jose! It’s what I use for autologging into hundreds of news and commentary sites where I routinely skewer liberals and their cockamamie ideas.

“I don’t know why it’s so all-fired important for people to know what I’m eating but apparently it is so until I figure out how to do that let me just inform everyone I’m snacking on chips and guacamole and drinking a Shasta cola. My Westie is sitting in her little doggie bed at the foot of my bed and I’m watching Fox News while posting stuff on FreeRepublic.com. My wife is working out in the garden and asking me what I want for dinner.”

Actually that sounds very idyllic in its ordinariness. Thanks for sharing, lol.

Electrical tape works best to cover the blinking 12:00 on your vcr.

I'm snacking on chips and guacamole and drinking a Shasta cola. My Westie is sitting in her little doggie bed at the foot of my bed and I'm watching Fox News while posting stuff on FreeRepublic.com. My wife is working out in the garden and asking me what I want for dinner. More later.

Well, I just posted my vacation photos to my wall!

What's an "8 track player"?

(78 RPM Record Player - Why change a good thing? Just be careful when your truck hits a bump in the road.)

I get almost multiple daily missives from Cain, Palin, and Cruz on FB. For some reason Zucky lets them operate.

That's to locate all the conservatives, so that Homeland Security will know where to confiscate the food and guns from when the hammer falls.

[RegulatorCountry]

There were cars built with record players in the fifties, possibly early sixties. How they were prevented from skipping I couldn’t say, but they’re highly collectible now, models that had that were typically loaded with everything else, and high option cars are typically the most coveted.

[Nifster]

I don’t do you tube....too much garbage out there. Either give me a synopsis or forget it. Pretty funny you would cite social media to decry social media

[Albion Wilde]

Those are good smartphone advantages you pointed out. Me, I’m a map freak. I used to have a sizeable library of detail map books in my car for every major city on the east coast — a big boxful taking up room in all the car pockets and the trunk. Now, I just have the little smartphone and two or three wide-radius paper maps.
