    I quit FB entirely. Too much politics and religion, and I've no use for either.

    I hate when people post 10,000 pictures of their one kid opening every present they got for christmas. It's freaking obsessive. I don't mind one or two cute kid pics, but God, give me a freaking break.

    This. I'm sick of your ****ing kids. It's become a scrapbook for mothers. I don't need Facebook. The people I care about I am already in touch with. I don't need to be in touch with every single person I ever went to school with, worked with, etc.

    I made a thread about this once, people with kids on Facebook...the reactions were priceless :laugh:
    Alas, the thread was locked within a few pages...

    the best is when a parent posted their unfortunate ugly kid and they get "omg...so beautiful" pity posts...no one has the balls to say "wow, that's one ugly kid" lol. Fugg...i don't have the balls to do that.

    :laugh:

    Have you tried www.unbaby.me ?

    It filters out crappy kid pics and replaces them with pics of cool stuff like dogs and food!

    haha..i'll have to check it out!!

    Me thinks you will enjoy it :smile:

    or "omg, my boyfriend/husband is the best in the whole world!!!"....cool! Until he gets sick of you and cheats on you and you guys break up and you have to awkwardly delete all your together pics from facebook and have to change your relationship back to "single"

    Someone is bitter. :tongue:

    lol, no, just how it always seems to go. I enjoy being single and not tied down to one person.

    It has shown me what hypocrites ppl can be. One friend is always posting about how evil capitalism and consumerism is and then there she is asking on the Laboutin page where she can find a certain pair of shoes (which run $1000 +). Then another friend preaching about animal rights and all and IRL she has the biggest leather purse I've seen.

    Or the girls who put up a picture of themselves and a dozen guys make comments about how beautiful she is. That's why she put it up there in the first place, to get that reaction.

    Strangely, I dislike Facebook (and deleted my account long ago), but enjoy Twitter. I think it all has to do with not wanting to line Mark Zuckerberg's pockets further given that he originally stole the thing from another college student and openly mocks Facebook users. Then there's friend requests from people whom I never liked in high school... and that one person whose status was a massive rant about how she got the wrong muffin at Tim Horton's... blech! Pass!

    I used to go on ther way too much LOL
    then i started really getting over it.
    I think FB has made us have no boundries of what we think is ok to share to ppl.
    i would never be constanly whinging to a friend about petty little complaints if i saw her once a week for a catch up but now you see everything negative ppl whinge about that arn't important at all and it's every friggen day.
    maybe it does depend on your personality, i think if you are someone who tries to not whinge about petty things as you try and stay positive, of course reading ppls negative whinging is going to get annoying and bring you down after a while lol
    of course you can totally just block or delete them :p my thing is the privacy, it was never made to be a private site but now 'mary lou' can see when you post on 'billy ray's' page when they dont even know them and i dont like that lol

    I don't think it's cute on 15 year olds either

    I also don't understand how this could ever have been perceived as cute by anyone, ever, and how it became such a trend in the first place.

    duckface makes people look stupid. In fact it's worse than that, because if it was just people pulling silly faces to look stupid, it'd be funny. but duckface = this person thinks they look cool, trendy, whatever, but actually they look stupid and like they're trying too hard to be cool.

    I swore I would never have Facebook. Then moved to Australia and find it really good for keeping in touch with family and friends back home. To many cousins to phone every week lol. I am sure I will be bored of it soon.

    I've moved around a lot. I like facebook because I can keep in touch with people and see what's going on in their lives (I have interesting friends and I like my friends). It also helps me to exchange information among the dance community where I live. But, I don't spend too much time on there, and I don't check it everyday. My family and friends are in Boston, so it was also nice to be able to see that they were all ok. Sure, people sometimes post stuff that doesn't interest me, but I just ignore that.

    I feel the same way about amazon.com! They always have things for sale that I really want and they want me to spend MY money to own those products! They are always asking me to rate sellers too! So annoying. When will this website stop making me feel all of these emotions that I don't want to feel?!?!

    There's a funny joke my son told me about Facebook...


    A guy will post, "HEY I JUST GOT INTO HARVARD!"
    He gets 1 like...from..."Thanks Grandma..."

    A girl says, "Just woke up!"
    gets 34 likes & 29 comments...



    Facebook is so weird... LOL

    My favorite is when people check in at work!?!?!? Seriously? You're at work again? Do we care? Thank you, but no! FB is sometimes so lame. I'm tired of the damn recipes and like you said a million people reporting the news!

    lol, it seems silly to get annoyed over it...but I can't help it, i just do. I just want to message that person and say "NO ONE *kitten* CARES!!!!!"...i post here and there but its stupid ****...not trying to be profound, not trying to push my views on others. If it wasn't to keep on info from other companies and stuff...i'd deactivate. I should just hide ALL my friends and keep the companies visable lol.

    I never had a facebook account. I am highly intelligent, perceptive, and slightly psychic, and I knew that would turn into the garbage disposal for the mind it has become. I smile smugly whenever any family member has FB drama, or complaints. Kind of like I'm doing now.
