Title: Why I Think Facebook Is So Lame
Post by: Anonymous on November 16, 2013, 10:16:54 AM
Don't use it anymore, but I keep receiving friends' and colleagues status updates through email. Usual boring mundane shit that nobody gives a flying fuck about.



What is really dumb in my opinion and what I absolutely HATE is when people put song lyrics as their status! It makes me wanna SHOUT! Kick my heels back and SHOUT! Throw my arms up and SHOUT! Throw my head back and SHOUT!

Me too Keeps, I can't stand it. I quit FB cold turkey, won't use it again. It is not common yet in China, so I didn't have hundreds of old friends trying to add me and thank gawd for that.

Hey Keeps, is it possible to delete your FB account?

Keeper, best way to get it off your phone if it won't let you manually uninstall the app is to go into settings and do a factory reset. I just had to do that with my Galaxy S after it started doing weird stuff. Apps weren't working, text messages doubling, not sending, failing etc. Even my ringtones were changed on they're own. Turned out I had opted to not install an update or two. Afterwards I realized it had to do with Google and they're store that was no longer part of all the apps on my phone and they changed names.

Theres no way to remove the account but you can deactivate it, Just have to go in there and change some stuff and submit the password.

I am one of those people who spends too much time on fb. I should set aside a budget of time each week. If I go under I can bank it up. I go over, then I don't know, go for a walk maybe.

I don't know about iphones, mine's a Galaxy S and it worked on mine. I guess you'd have to call or check online what you could do. But if you do a factory reset, it will delete ALL of your downloaded apps but will keep your contacts. At least that's what it did for mine.

I never started a personal Facebook page, never saw the need, but I did have one for business but it's not active now and there are no plans to make it active. Like all social networking sites I find that it is only a novelty and I just don't have the attention span or time to devote to keeping up with it. Once I lose interest it just becomes a bother.

It's my experience that LinkedIn is very business/professional oriented. It's not geared toward the bored teen or chronically unemployed couch potato the way that Facebook has become. Hopefully it will remain that way.

I like Facebook because I can stay in touch with friends and family all over Canada and the world..



Our church sponsors a missionary in Tanzania and another in India that give us regular updates..



I know much of what account holders write is trite which is why I try to restrict using it to when I actually have something to say or respond to.

Acquaintances is all I would call them. People I know from work, but I don't really want to know outside of work. When they would send friend requests I felt obligated to say yes.

I got your point. peer pressure and ill talk always come with the "coworkers". FB gives them an access to approach u or to dig out any interesting of your life. that's make me insecure

u are lucky because they haven't turn their faces into evil. they will treat u the way u can never expect unless they are in the same belief as yours. I believe there are still a few humanlike angels existing on earth, but u never know where they are.

of course! that's why I've trained how to study anyone by mind-judging their manners, the ways they express, and slight gestures they do without noticing. however, the toughest part of the judgement is to keep impersonal against emotional

because what u dislike are posted by "your friends", u can get rid of the craps as long as u set your friends into your blacklist.

Ill try to blacklist them, Ill have to look into how. I only check it occasionally because someone ask me to do so, but still it would be nice if more like a forum .



I actually thought about making a friends, and family forum, that way they can have their own section, and post what they like.

I could just ignore their section if I wish.

I have like 5 friends on there, and never really check much what they do.

It's just they talked me into starting an account.

What annoys me is one likes games, and I get a lot of game stuff I'm not even interested in, and another post pictures all day of send this to 7 people you will be blessed  :roll:

It just fills the whole page with garbage, and I rather look at something more intelligent, or at least interesting.

I have turned off a lot of stuff in the settings, but it's still not enough, and I would hate to just ban a friend.

Hello Mr. Blue Frost, how nice to see you here..

 :)

That one predates Facebook.

Hey ;-)

Yeah that stuff has been around a long long time, I got them back in the 80s even.

They still make new ones, and they are just as annoying.

I don't think I ever used snail mail, I do remember a type of ICQ chat when my friend got his computer. It was alright, but slow, and annoying.

The old script I was talking about was just some old DOS pages with info on them, and some Utility company stuff that we found.

there was a Record place also you could order from.



On facebook It would be nice if you could just make stuff where you didn't have to see it, the side pains, and irrelevant images.

My mother complains all the time about aunts, and cousins posting silly stuff some spamming the board.

I look at it this way anymore, if the people around you is bringing you down you need to give them the boot.

I have one great friend, a few others here, I don't need anymore if they are not good friends.

It´s an army brotherhood thing. I don´t care where they are at... I just remember them as good men.



And I have real friends from abroad. Like my former fiancee in Bali. The break up went well so she is very loving still. I have to keep in contact with her. I remember how wonderful female she was but I just couldn´t take the continuous tropical weather all the time.



I´m a polar bear. I like the cold.

I understand, and it's good you keep in touch like that. I had one ex i kept up with for about 10 years, but shes the one who really kept talking.

Hoping I guess I would take her back.

I could deal with some tropics :-)

Most of my old friends was annoying, or bad news so in no way do I want them looking me up.

I had a few I enjoyed being around in school, but I never kept up with them.

The only ones I would like to know what happen to was some girls I knew, i would hope they are well, and happy.

I think you are blessed, it's great to have good supportive people around you. Mine did all kinds of bad things, I'm surprised I didn't end up in trouble.

A few did drugs, and stole stuff, the one in prison robbed a bank even.

You can go to prison for falling behind in child support payments in the United States?

Does anyone know if this happens in Canada?

He was a habitual non payer with past criminal offenses so that counted in I believe.

He's spent most his adult life in prison deservedly.  

He's one that had one parent, and most his friends was lowlifes.

I feel bad sometimes I didn't try to guide him more, but I had my own issues for a time. Nothing illegal, or to bad for me, mostly extended family issues. .

I am surprised non payment of child support even habitual is an offense punishable by incarceration..



Can anyone tell me if that is what the Canadian criminal code allows for?

It should be as long as they are working to repay somehow in jail.

Here when they are in jail the government pays I believe which means we pay through taxes.

The person in jail is followed around by the tax man till it's paid back when they get out.

I don't feel that is a good idea Mr. Blue Frost..



The children are never going to see money they need for necessities if the person that is supposed to pay that money is in jail.

The same happens when not in jail they just wont pay. Many shack up with another woman her paying while she gets pregnant.

The men usually work under the table also not even paying taxes so the kid gets nothing.

Now my big complaint is the racket of over burdening the man, or woman paying child support, they bleed many dry when they are trying.

Every time they go to court about it they have to pay a lawyer to help them stay out of trouble, or lower the payment so they can pay something.

Jail for missing child support payments does not benefit the children.
