Facebook Opinions - STFU?

jasmineh7777

I think I check my facebook about once every six months. I guess I just don't get social networking sites. And I don't understand Twitter.

Twitter is a waste of the goddamn internet.

Jasmine, twitter is beyond my understanding 100%. Nugget, that's hilarious: "you stupid heifer." Haha!

I tend to hide away anyone who uses facebook as a political or religious soapbox.  Really, just anyone who takes it serious gets on my nerves.  I like movie quotes, pictures of your weekend, stupid facts about your day and ironic song lyrics, thanks.  Your insight on God or Obama?  Nah, I'm good.

Is 'blessed' just a churchy thing? I know when I think it (never posted it before), I don't exactly mean it as in God has blessed me, but more as, damn, I'm really lucky to have all this in my life. Does it always have a religious connotation?My friend had this as his status the other day and I really liked it: He later clarified that he didn't want any extremists, not just anti-Obama stuff. To any future former Facebook friends that send me invitations to join a group like "Petition to remove the communist regime of Barack Obama" or anything else political, just click the "remove from friends" link for me instead...it saves me time. THANKS!

Louisville, he sounds like he's got the type of friends that I do. But again, it's not just from conservatives. It really isn't. I remember when Bush was president, he couldn't fart without some of my friends posting hateful, and insulting things as their status updates - calling him a "typical southern idiot" and other varieties of bull. I wasn't a Bush fan, but I know for a fact that comments like that offend a great deal of people personally. It's hard not to want to slap people around.

Yes, Louis, I do think it has to do with religion. I don't say "Wow, I'm blessed by the chair over there to have Noodle". When you say you're blessed, you really can't not have it be a religion connotation.

Fair enough. That one doesn't bother me at all, because my friends that do use it aren't the slutty party girls. What bothers me is the constant scripture update.

CS, YOU are the person Twitter was intended for. That makes sense. The person it was NOT? My 8 year old cousin with a blackberry. <--- So much wrong with this, I don't know where to start.

shannonalise

I will beat her up and take it from her. And then I will give it to you. Oh... children with ... BLACKBERRIES. That's a post for another day.

NuggetBrain

I still have a Motorola Razr from when they first came out. F*ck. I want a damn crackberry.

shannonalise

Nugget, that is amazing. I say that because I had a Razr back in the day and it broke. FI had one that broke too and there are stories all over the internet about how quickly they break/stop working. You must take REALLY good care of that thing! You deserve a crackberry for your hard work.

As far as the freedom of speech thing goes - there's a difference between can and should. You CAN update your status every ten minutes. But should you find a more productive use of your time? In my opinion, yes.Then again, I'm posting shiit-tons of replies on the knot, so whatever.And as we've discussed on here many times, it's easier to spout of online where you don't have to respond, or look people in the eye. I'd hope most of your friends wouldn't call someone a fuucking liberal pinko-commie freedom hater to their face. But hey, maybe.

"there's a difference between can and should. You CAN update your status every ten minutes. But should you find a more productive use of your time? In my opinion, yes." Yeah, this is exactly what I'm thinking. Yes, you can put anything you want out there, but it's probably smart and diplomatic to think twice.

Facebook is to stupid people what Vegas is to douchebagsI might put that in my signature.

NuggetBrain

I have abused this phone so bad...huh. Maybe my phone is just blessed.

dianenjnj

alliecarrie41

i wish i could go back and just delete all those fake-friends (and heck some 'real ones') but i'm just too lazy!

I have one of my friends on hide...because he posts multiple times a day, comments on everyone's statuses, it was so annoying so I hid it.  Once in a while I look at his status or page to see what madness he has up, but most of the time I forget he's there.
