Hey... my fields need fertilizing....and my pig might starve.....
Facebook, tool of Satan.
Most visited....okay. I do enjoy facebook, but once I sign in and start to write an email, it tells me I’m not signed in. So I start all over again. One minute later I am required to sign in once again.
This goes on at least two or three more times...frustrating!
Is this all being counted?
“Facebook, tool of Satan.”
Why would you say that and what proof do you have?
people more interested in who than in what
My sister just joined today. Her son talked her into it. I wanted to warn her but my commie brother in law would just have another issue to turn her against me and my nephew is already programed left.
idle hands do the devils work
Just my opinion. Watch what happens.
Your dead-on upchuck. Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are all distractions and we are watching this new generation give their lives to this “nothingness”. Evil men are brewing a storm in this world while many eyes are distracted.
God warned us with 911. The next warning will be far more devastating.
The arguments about Facebook are the same as when the Internet started reaching more homes. Facebook simply provides people an easier opportunity to connect with others.
Some will use it for good, some for evil. I don’t spend time with married women in real life for obvious reasons, so I don’t spend time on Facebook talking to them in private.
Facebook is not the problem - it’s what is in one’s heart that’s the problem. If people are lacking in character, I blame them alone.
I also have liberal “friends” - they get the boot if they post nonsense, but I post a lot of articles there for people to read. I’ve had one friend who identified herself as “very liberal” swear off the Democrat Party forever.
I won’t take full credit, but her eyes were opened, and she wasn’t going to get that from the MSM.
You’re right. Me, my sisters, college female friends, and cousins, all in our 30’s and 40’s, are just full of terrible intentions when we send each other family pictures and well wishes every month. WATCH OUT FOR US! You’ve been warned.

Am I the only one on the planet that doesn’t use Facebook and Twitter? Both of them seem stupid to me.
Precisely! Someone else who gets it. I sometimes wonder if cell phones should be added to the list? Prolly "texting" for sure.
Bump.
Count me in.
I don’t do texting either. Have it blocked on my phone.
Why would so many people do a search for the word "Facebook?" Just go to the website.
Facebook: The internet equivalent of Oprah.
What do you mean by that? It’s a communication tool. Nothing more or less.
