Hate on facebook

KaienZ34

I know i'll get more hate than The FaceCrap, but that's ok i just think it's a popularity contest. Look how many friends I have, look how many people liked what I said/posted. People to day (mostly young peeps) think that everyone wants to know what they are doing all the damn time. This is not true, all my friends that are my age (30's) use it aswell so i don't think it's the age thing. I just think it's dumb, i've never used it as i know how to use the damn phone to talk with the people i know. I get the same lame answers from the people i know like, "I use it to reconnect with old friends" if you were really friends you would have never lost track to begin with. Or "I meet so many women (or men whatever the case may be) on there you just don't know." Well incase you haven't noticed the world is very over populated and people have been hooking up for thousands of years as proof of such. Some people get their feelings so hurt that they kill themselves, or beat the other person up and/or kill them. All this over what some azz clown has said in print, it's just words people. "Sticks and stones, may break my bones but WORDS will never hurt me." I know some will say, "well your on this site and it's a type of social network." This is true, but atleast we are on here mostly for info and/or to connect with others that have 370's. If my friends were into cars i'd just hang with them. Well i could rant for hours about this, but any longer of a post and most won't read.

lol... You sound like my dad. People back in the day probably said the same thing when the phone was invented and became popular. "Why talk on the phone and not face to face?"

regardless facebook/myspace and the like are a complete waste of ips and bandwidth. I'm guilty of having an account and have been debating deleting it for some time now. I never post anything there, I only end up reading about how some idiot picked two tomatos from the garden or some other retarded similar thing. Its like really? Where you thinking to yourself while picking the tomatos "oooh, I'm so posting this on fb when I get back inside! My friends are going to be sooooo jealous or happy for me!" wtf....

This isn't at all like installing a red GTR start button* and taking pics of it and posting it on the370Z.com so viewers can admire and compliment your new mod, is it?

Facebook is here to stay whether people hate on it or not. The best way to hate on it is to not devote any energy to it at all. I am always amused by how vehemently some people hate Facebook; So much so that they get all worked up complaining about it! The simple solution is to not create an account and ignore it.
Case In Point: At the salon where I used to work, the owner had a client who, every time she came in, went on and on about how much she hated Facebook and all the Farmvile posts, Surveys and other crap she got from her friends... not to mention the friend request from people she didn't want to be friends with. The owner of the salon, whose chair was next to mine, would join in on this face-hate party and it would go on for 45 minutes non-stop. At the end, one had to wonder why either of them bothered to maintain a Facebook account when all it did was bring them so much grief.

There is definitely a lot of stuff on Facebook I can live without, but it's not causing me enough grief to get worked up over it. It's like dropping the junk mail into the shredder when I sit down at my desk. No big deal.

Case In Point #2: The majority of my "friends" on Facebook are not actual friends by definition. They're not people I hang out with or talk to on a regular basis. However, they are people who I do want to have easy access to me. When I left one salon and moved to another, Facebook made it very easy for my clients to find me at my new location which prevented me from losing business and income. Using Facebook did not violate any non-compete clauses and did not require me to use any intellectual property from my previous employer. On top of that, "advertising myself" on Facebook is free and it basically does all the work for me.

For me, Facebook is a great networking tool as well as great way to catch up with people I know all over the country and world. For some, it's a great place to play games, take surveys or air your dirty laundry to the world. Use it for what you want or don't use it all all. Either way, the choice is yours.
Be my friend... or not.


*Alternately insert rear fog light, black valence, fuel guage overlay, or any other mod that is uniquely just like everyone else's.

This is right on the money. I joined Facebook, reluctantly, because I could check out what my two sons were up to -- luckily they "friended" me. Next thing you know I have more than 200 "friends" and I swear that I actually interact with, and by "interact" I mean verbally communicate, maybe 12 or so of them.

Most of my new "friends" are people I went to high school with and have not seen since graduation in 1978. These are mostly people who were not even my friends back then, but we are friends now, I supppose. Facebook has become this morbid pleasue for me -- like having a People magazine sitting around. I really don't care what's happening with people on Facebook, or with the bubble headed celebrities who grace the pages of People. I can't help myself sometimes. I have to look, even though it neither improves my knowledge, skills or life in general.

Just a few thoughts.
