Heh. Just like this place, 75% of it is annoying idiotic bullshit. But the other 25% is important enough to me that I still keep coming back.

displacedinMN 03-03-2013 09:46 AM

Johnny-I am with you!!!!

I do not have one and am trying hard not to cave in.

I do not need to know when someone had a good workout, or know how much they hate processed foods, or how much they love Jesus.

Also, I teach. I don't want 150 friend requests from 8th graders-even though I can deny it.

Had a student tell me he friended me on Facebook. Of course my answer was "How? I don't have a facebook account." Kids were astonished-How could anyone NOT have Facebook. Made the kid log in and unfriend whomever it was. Good teaching moment.

With that said-My weather station at school has a Facebook and Twitter account. It discusses weather and nothing else. It talks once in a while too.

Stay tough-Johnny. You are not alone.

I am one of the few people on Earth that doesn't have a facebook page.

In58men 03-03-2013 09:49 AM

I have a Facebook page and I enjoy the **** out of it.


I like to know what's going in the world. It's not just about people's lives, many post links to videos, news, etc etc.

DaveNull 03-03-2013 09:50 AM

As it turns out, you can have a facebook page but you don't have to visit or use it.

That's what CP is for.

GloryDayz 03-03-2013 09:52 AM

LOL, I tend to agree. If it's not people telling you about the little dumb bullshit their baby-batter offspring did 12 seconds ago, it's some other self-proclaimed God person saying how ****ing blessed they are - when you know they're lying through their teeth. And now that I have so many job-related friends, you just can't be honest with the world about how the Chiefs community aren't the only ones subjected to bad "ownershit."

So play the game, keep the account and set a reminder to go in every so often and say something nice about the world and how you're thankful for kittens and puppies.

rockymtnchief 03-03-2013 10:04 AM

You don't have to have friends on Facebook for it to be useful. Use an alias and "like" the pages that interest you. There's some good shit out there.

Some of the pages I "liked": US Carry Conceal Association, Girls With Guns, Daniel Defense, four businesses owned by CPers, Beartooth Highway, Joe Delaney, Derrick Thomas, numerous bands and artists, American Forces Network, many resteraunts, many rodeos and music festivals, Yellowstone Dog Sled Adventures, MSU Bobcats, multiple humor pages, and on and on and on.

Your page gets their latest updates, specials, menus, activities, etc...

This ! FB exposes those who would still like to be in high school and never grow up and as Andy Warhol once said, "everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame" and now with FB and YouTube their 15 minutes of fame lasts an "ETERNITY" !!:rolleyes:

But I do see the value and addiction to it when it comes to finding people important to you and doing business as well. It truly is a "double edged sword":)

KurtCobain 03-03-2013 10:35 AM

I don't understand the knock on Facebook. I'm in the mid twenties to early twenties crowd, and we pretty much use it like instagram. Picture sharing and very little text status updates or even comments. personally, my main use for it is too bitch amd whine every time I get banned from chiefs planet.

I don't know you at all but I can pretty much assume you deserve better than that. You must be the most tolerant person ever.

This thread was a lot more exciting than I had expected ROFL

Tombstone RJ 03-03-2013 10:37 AM

fb is ok to stay in touch with people, the thing about it is you just have to say "no" to befriending people. I get lots of requests but I really try to limit who I say yes to. If I haven't seen a person for 20 years, I'm sorry, I'm not going to say yes just because I kind of knew you in high school.

My quota is around 100-120 friends. The idiots who have 300+ friends get what they deserve IMHO.

Later I told Phil in private that I understood it but she didn't and asked him to understand that since we had been friends before. He said he understood and there were no hard feelings.

Now he's here to try to make me look like an ass for it.

I had no clue his girl made him do it. That must have been private. I remember watching you make the comment on his thread, and him getting SUPER pissed about it. It went off from there. Some back and forth and then you guys weren't "friends" anymore. I laughed at it honestly.

Nah my friend, you are just a reminder to many and especially Dr.Johnny not to take himself so seriously, and when you saw this thread and who started it you couldn't resist. I get it and :clap: for it. Some people just see their life as one big "wedgie" being pulled on them everyday and actually live for that moment each an every day.

Is this really what we've come to? Goddamn CP is full of stupid enough. Don't make me do facebook too.

I think his reality is a different place than other people. I understand that well because mine is too but I think I adjust when necessary. I don't think he does. This is nothing new. He's done this since he found this site, always gets personally offended over minutia. I still like him and I'd still drink a beer with the guy. But I'd bring tissues for him just in case.

I think they're like beer and wine, both are based on alcohol, but the delivery is very different. And there are far too many assholes on Facebook just lying about how happy they are about their miserable lives.

suds79 03-03-2013 11:21 AM

FB is kinda dumb and annoying but everybody has it.

So instead of activating, deactivating, ativating, etc over and over. When you get tired of it, you just don't pay much attention to it.

I have an account. Glad I do. I post about once a month and rarely check it. It works for me.

And people who are annoying are quickly Unfriended or put on ignore.

Simple.

DaFace 03-03-2013 11:22 AM

Facebook CAN be incredibly obnoxious, but if you put a little effort into it, I find it hard to believe anyone can really have a major issue with it. The problem many people run into is that they try to make it a dick measuring contest and adding/accepting every person they've ever met. When you do that, you end up with a giant wall of information about people you don't care about.

If you're either 1) very selective of who you are friends with or 2) go through the effort to move people who you don't care much about into your acquaintances list, your feed will be filled with a really easy way to keep up with what's going on in the lives of people you care about. Using groups for people you REALLY want to know everything they're up to (and clicking on that group specifically once in a while) can help as well.

This is true, though I don't really care that much. The point when I officially realized I was getting old was when I realized that I've been out of school (K-12) longer than I was in it at this point.

I just tend to make sarcastic status updates that mock what others constantly post.

like this, "No one really cares what you had for breakfast, how the traffic was on your commute, or the consistency of your shit this morning." I have had a few people delete me after such statuses, which was an easy way of handling some of the obnoxious people who I didn't want to be friends with anyway.

ROFL

Well played.

I like it for following the cool stuff people do or pictures they post, especially since I don't live anywhere near where I am from it helps me keep in touch to see what my old friends are doing and access to setting something back up with them when I go home.

What gets old is the people who post 2-3 status updates a day about absolutely nothing or are always complaining. I probably post 1-2 status updates every few weeks and pictures maybe once a month.
