I use FaceBook frequently for the last 3 years. Please don't post don't use it. My family and funds are suers and it is easy to stay in touch.
I post a lot of politics including my comments and cartoons.
For the last week after I share 4-5 statements ( a lot against the Clintons) or cartoons I have received the obnoxious security check boxes where you have to type in a series of letters some of which I am unable to read.
Five days ago the note said You have posted nudity. I never post nudity and two times last year a guy did and I unfriended him and deleted the posts. My grandkids visit my page. That was over 12 months ago.
Tonight the message is someone complained about politics. My reaction is FU. I sent a note to FB tasking them if people can shut me off because of my conservative views and if they blindly support those complaints. Waiting for an answer.
A lot of people say Zuckerberg is an acid head, meaning he drops a lot of LSD. And that he’s into the Manson Family. He mixes LSD use with certain steroids that resulted in him growing man boobs. So insiders say he is almost as messed up as Hillary who is on meds.
He flips in and out of reality. He calls FB his “TV into every home in America”. Meaning, he randomly is looking at people via facebook and the devices mic and camera and whe he’s on acid apparently he believes he is “The Supreme Controller” but the LSD also causes him to have the paranoid delusion that some very creepy space aliens called “grays” are in his house looking at him in bed or hiding in the closet - it is at those times he is apparently, seriously, dangerous.
Witnesses claim he starts saying something like, “... kill them ... kill them all ... they are bugs ... spray them with bug-a-cide” ...
Then he starts doing totally bizarro things through his channels on FB. Apparently the Galaxy 7 thing catching on fire wasn’t a Samsung battery issue at all. It was him. Zucherberg. Somehow FB had developed a software that would set the battery on fire, and Zuckerberg was freaking out on bad “brown acid” and was seen holding some hand held lever that looked like a gamer control but was screaming, “Let them burn! Let them all BURRRRR-N!”.
Someone who apparently knows him real well said he confided over a plate of pickled herring saying, “I just want Hillary to drink my milk from my man boobs... I .... love her. She’s on meds, too...”
For Memorial Day I posted a couple of comments like this (On FB):
The fall of Aachen left the Rhine River just 20 miles away but before the Allied Forces cold move on a small managed forest of firs trees had to be cleared of Germans.This forest, just 11 miles by 5 miles was a managed forest of fir trees planted in even, straight rows. For years the Germans had been clearing debris and planting mines that were protected with concrete bunkers and machine guns. In October VII Corps began to work on this objective. In November when V Corps took over VII Corps had advanced 3,000 yards through mines “every eight paces” at a cost of a man every 2 feet. 4,500 casualties.
V Corps had sustained heavy losses, some lead battalions ground down to less than 300 men. Then an unexpected diversion wrested attention from The Hurtgen Forest. The Battle of the Bulge. 33,000 Americans were casualties in those woods.
“...it would have saved everybody a lot of time if they had just shot the men as they got off the trucks...” Correspondent Earnest Hemingway.
I got 1 like from a buddy so I know it was seen, I posted it to Public and friends. Yet when I check to see why the response is so low, I can’t find any of the 4 or 5 of these I posted. How is it that I have to see every damn thing 4 or 5 of my 200 FB friends have for meals over and over again but the content I post just disappears? I tell myself it must be something I did wrong because I have been off FB for years until the last week or so. I don’t know....
Facebook is like FreeRepublic - they can set their own rules.
But unlike FreeRepublic, Facebook is a for profit organization. User’s of Facebook are the product. Facebook makes it money the same way newspapers do, by selling access and information about their “subscribers”.
Don’t click on anything on facebook
Don’t like anything on facebook
Don’t accept anyone as a “friend” you do not know.
And if you don’t like someone’s posting simply unfollow them.
If you understand these facts then you should not have any problem with Facebook.
I have thousands of family photos I have collected over the year. Facebook is a easy way to share these photos.
As someone else said, don’t get political on facebook come to FreeRepublic for that.
Useless as a political platform unless one is a Lefty - don’t use it except for pleasure and keeping in contact with “friends”. And then be careful of what you allow out.
Don’t post politics on FB. It’s annoying
Yep. I don’t do politics on fb either. It’s a great tool for keeping in touch with acquaintances and old friends in other places. Not a good pulpit though.
Never been to FB and never will go there. My opinion’s not that important but my privacy is.
Don’t own an iPhone either. And no one knows where my car is when I travel unless it’s been bugged.
This is being sent from a 2007 era desktop. Sure, it has an IP address but so do eighty gazillion other PCs.
Doing Facebook is like drawing a target on yourself, IMO.
Thanks. I figured out my “mystery”. I only go on FB about every 5 years or so to “catch up” with friends from 50 years ago. To interact with them I have to post to their posts. Since I use it so rarely, no one reads what I post so it gets pushed to the bottom fast.
FB is a heavily monitored leftist propaganda and information mining trap.
They make the rules. With this in mind, you will always lose.
Just stay away. Try the phone to keep in touch. Email works great for sharing pics.
I have relatives and friends who are FB addicts. As much as I warn them not to memorialize all their activities into eternity, they refuse to change. When you use FB you are creating a personal yet public dossier on yourself for the world to access. Do not believe for a second that the so called FB privacy controls will protect you.
You do realize that during the most recent downtime FR had the FR facebook page kept us up to date on what was going on. Jim sent a number of updates.
Call me old fashioned, but I don’t Twitter, Text, smoke dope, or do Face Book.
As soon as an ad pops up, it means that site has a source of revenue that doesn't put the supposed goal of the site as its first priority. FWIW when we were at Refugee Camp (ie stuck on FB during FR being down) some, but not all, of the shared values of FR were maintained. I thought FB did a decent job of letter FR be FR at that alternative. I'm wondering if we didn't garner some new freepers from that time.
You won’t get an answer from fB. They are trying to censure non-liberal political and social content all over the internet. It’s not just you and it’s not just fB.
I know a lot of conservatives depend upon long used internet social networks but they are going away. You can not argue with a programmed bot moderator. It’s upsetting to them to be locked out of social circles.
It’s not a good thing for freedom.
FB is and always has been for children.
Twitter gives you a glimpse into just how many jack asses there are in the world.
FB lets you know how many of them are your friends and family.
I agree. I use it to stay in touch with relatives back east. I don’t do politics on FB and unfollow anyone who does. I don’t have any liberal friends on it but I get enough politics here. Don’t want to see them there.
I signed up mostly so I could read the thoughts of one perceptive libertarian who departed from sites like this one probably because of p*ssing contests he go into.
After several years where I mostly commented on his posts Facebook informed me that my account (or whatever they call it) was being suspended until and unless I provided them with a copy of a government issued photo ID.
I've never been back.

Unfortunately teapartycommunity doesnt have as much users and traffic that facebook gets. Like it or hate it, facebook is the king of the hill.
My primary concern is my family. Most of them don’t do politics to my frustration. May son is conservative but he has music and everything else on there and set up half the family four years ago.
We’re took deep in and the family benefits from it. Sometime there are more considerations in life than politics. not every battle is worth fighting especially against your family’s wishes.
