They've been facebooking us for YEARS !
Is Hillary going to run?
Have you seen the latest Kardashian ?
My opinion is ....
No, MY opinion is ...
OK ... it's early, but the Chelsea thing sparked this
I don’t do facebook.
Twitter for me because I can get the news I want without all the extraneous crap.
No cursive?
J/K.
(That was a cross thread joke.)
It doesn’t interest me at all.
What be “Facebook”?
I got off facebook several years ago and don’t miss it at all.
I have been on FB since about 2008. It is a great way to keep up with family and friends from first grade through college. A relative had a serious motorcycle wreck on August 28 in AR and was airlifted to Little Rock. We all keep up with his progress through FB.
Vanity: A Facebook-type post with the pretense of being someone who hates Facebook-type attention-seeking.
Anyone that wants to contact me has my phone number.
I've always been in the phone book and if they are too lazy to look up I don't want to talk to them.
I checked out Facebook for about a week. Then I figured out how to erase any trace of me from there and am NEVER going back.
Back when “Facebook” first started up, I clicked on there to send Sarah Palin a note of support. At that time, I got on there and got “snagged”; couldn’t find any easy way to unsubscribe. - Finally, after a few years, they put in an escape hatch (that I was able to find) and I ESCAPED! Haven’t missed it. - (I was afraid to turn down any “friend” request because there are so many people’s names I’ve forgotten & I was afraid of hurting someone’s feelings if I said no. - So, I got some duds for “friends”, duds with apparent motives).
Facebook is only popular because people without real friends and want “real” friends can accumulate them here.
Then they can brag about them and bash them at the same time. That is what they do to their real friends (minus the “”).
Isn’t that what friends are supposed to do.
Me, my real (minus the “”) friends I can count on one hand and I do not bash them. They stand by me and I stand by them.
Its like checking your email and seeing a news article then getting sucked into reading it. Meanwhile you notice the “20 celebrites who haven’t aged gracefully” and get sucked in further while all the other faux ads that look like interesting news articles suck you in. Before you inow it you’ve spent
15 mins being distracted for checking one freakin email! We are so easy to manipulate. Squirrel! Look...See...
Facebook- Lets you reconnect today, with people you hated in grade school. Yes, that’s fun.
First it was photography. Then it was film. Then it was recorded music. All of these have combined to make it possible for our senses to experience - albeit in limited fashion - time travel on a repeated basis. Only a couple of generations of people have been able to see themselves age; to have snapshots before and after the aging process has done its thing.
Lately the capacity for all of these mediums has become nearly ubiquitous. I am sure there are many who count it a bane, and many who count it a blessing. It does bear careful consideration as to what effect overall this instant access to sound and visual material has on society in general. Has it enhanced life and conversation, or has it cheapened it?
I am thankful that not everyone is doing the same thing; that some prefer FB and others refrain. It was not all that long ago that email was a privilege for only a few. Now one is almost expected to have instant access to all kinds of media. This has brought about a great deal of anxiety and meanness which extends to other habits which coarsen our interaction, whether driving or conversation. I don’t see this so much as a conspiracy as a natural extension of human nature, which is predominantly interested in itself first, and then others.
Ultimately one must decide *what really counts.* In the end we will find that much or our life is spent in chasing chaff and missing out on greater beauties and virtues. That said, there is certainly a place, IMO, for good photography, film, and recorded music. The problem is that a good many people fail to distinguish between excellence and mediocrity and this end up crapping all over creation with their words and conduct.
I never post anything about myself but I do follow others, specifically USMC, veterans, and prolife groups, and I occasionally post an article from here. I am a visual person and love the pics.
Why would any red-blooded conservative support an organization and CEO committed to stealing your privacy, illegal immigration, open borders, gun control, copyrighting your life and photos, and establishing a liberal dossier on every member? Joining Facebook is akin to providing material support for the enemy.
