Just wondering why you lot use facebook?

i swear on mine its just a large group of people complaining about things in general and posting random updates about there life which noone should care about?

for example:

Tom: headache from hell!!!

Andi: is conspiring hehehe

Leah: is watching the football =P

See my point, why do i even bother going on? yet for some reason i can't help it...might just deactivate my account :shock:

I never log in except to see how sick all my fish in TopFish have gotten due to neglect.

I was pestered to sign up by friends back home as it would let us 'stay in touch'. One of them never talks to me on there anyway, and another just talks to me on MSN instead.

i only have an account for all the rideout pics that get posted on there and not on here tbh. Oh and of course the obligatory facebook stalking of random hot women with photos of themselves in bikinis etc.

I'm a bit crap...ok a lot crap at keeping in touch with folk, I have a much healthier social life now because of facebook, sad as that may sound, people seem to dislike phones and letters but are happy to talk to me when I sign in?? Odd but heyho.

Oh some of the facebook statuses I have to troll through.They make me cringe and I just wanna punch the screen.

x - "How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners and instant cameras teach patience to its young...?"
man, cringe, vomit, you're lame and not a philosopher why you trying it for,? no one cares. sadly lamo's like this get ever bigger douche bags replying.

y - 'Wished the cab driver would stop trying to chat her up!!!! LONG!!!'
shaat up! make the most of it, no-one else does, and the fact you've gotta mention it on facebook defo means noone else does.

A course mate of mine has a group with his mates where they've compiled over 6000 photos of various scantily clad women from the world of Facebook.

It's quite an epic group really, funny too. :smt079

I like the "copy and paste to raise awareness" statuses.

Recently from one friend: "Please copy and paste this on your status if you know someone who needs a punch in the face. People who need a punch in the face affect the lives of many. There is still no known cure for someone who needs a punch in the face (except a punch in the face) but we can raise awareness."

You've got the wrong friends! I like facebook and I use it to stay in touch with most of my friends that don't live in the same place as me. Their status updates are usually insightful or funny ;)

Bad though A*sebook is, it's Tw*tter that really takes the biscuit for self-indulgent ego masturbation. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR STUPID PATHETIC LITTLE LIFE ENOUGH TO WANT TO READ WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OR DOING EVERY 15 SECONDS.

Don't have a facebook. Quite funny as I normally get calls asking where I am and if I was coming to the party/pub? I don't have a clue about them and they just say I posted it on facebook didn't you see it?

No because I have a phone, and when people normally want me to attend a social gathering they ring or text me.

Why do people think that anybody needs/wants/gives two ****s about their minute by minute update on their lives? Although saying that everyone I know has a facebook so maybe I am missing something......can't say I care though :)

So to moan on FB is a problem for you.

But its ok to put a message on a bike site and do exactly the same thing?

Irony...... :confused:

Errr. I have a photo of me, in my bikini, on Facebook (albeit in the snow with my crampons on) and you have never made a comment! You calling me a minger? :confused:

I love Facebook, mind you I have a lot of strange friends all over the country and other parts of the world and I use Facebook to keep up to date with them. One of my friends is just about to ship out to the Falklands for a few months of guarding penguins, Facebook is probably the only way I will be able to keep in regular easy contact with her. :D

My two cats also have Facebook ages, however that is not as weird as the folks who have added them both as friends, despite never knowing who I am. Those people scare me! :shock:

I can honestly say, ive never even looked on it, not even the home page.
My life can cope without it, saying that if it wasnt for forums i wouldnt have met a few off here and id be lonely ;)
The org is the only forum i use, aint got time for any others.

I have got back in touch with a lot of people I hadn't seen in years and I probably would never have spoken to again if it wasn't for Facebook.

I honestly don't think I could survive without it now.
