    i've learned that most people I know are narcissistic. If this were ten years ago I would only know from when I saw you or what we talked about.

    -"Open-minded" liberals aren't open minded at all. And can't debate without getting personal or emotional.

    -People over 50 should perhaps have limited use of the internet (chain mail, Farmville, POST THIS IN 5 SECONDS!)

    -If half of these people worked in PR, they'd be fired immediately for lacking ability to manage reputations.

    -Halloween and Spring Break are the best times to look at the photos that girls post.

    What is this facebook thing?

    Don't have one, don't want one, don't need one. /thread.

    And I don't need facebook to tell me people are idiots, I've known that for years.

    Gotta agree with this for the most part. I have Facebook and it's a nice convenience to keep in touch with people I know all over the world in one place. It saves a lot of time and I can stay closer easier. But I know far too many people that freak the **** out if their phone won't connect to Facebook and they can't update their status every 10 minutes. It seriously puts them in panic mode as if the world might pass them by. I hate to sound like the old crochety guy (but I am), but the world got along just fine before social media and you know what? Ironically people were more "social". I couldn't even place an ad on Craigslist without recieving a bunch of uninteligible texts from idiots of the technology age. I'd actually call the numbers to figure out what they were trying to say and they were like deer in headlights actually having to audibly form a sentence. I shut my texting feature off and it cut over 80% of the idiots out of my wasted time.

    Mothers think that just because they pumped out crotchfruit that they have special rights and that people want to hear them complain that people don't respect their special rights.

    That when someone likes your pictures enough they probably want to ****.

    That there are way too many fat girls who can't take a hint that you don't want to ****.

    I have learned that those chain statuses saying "97% of you won't repost this sanctimonious drivel" is incorrect. It's more like 99.5% and with good reason.

    The readability of one's typing is directly correlated to how mediocre a life they live; whether the measure of that mediocrity is by the grades they earn, the terrible job they have, their terrible financial situation, how many kids they had before the age of 20, or what kind of legal trouble they are in.

    The number of friends over age 40 you have directly correlates to how many Obama-is-a-secret-Muslim-terrorist-socialist-puppy-f***er-who-wasn't-born-here status updates and comments you read.

    Some girls I went to high school with have let themselves go, others are hotter than ever.

    4) People have too many babies...think too much of them...and post far too much about them.

    6) The vast majority of females over the age of 25 - never progressed mentally past 16.

    ^The above is why I have 50 or so people on my facebook...and routinely go through purges. Of those 50, I'm unsubscribed from about 35.
    I use a picture of a van with a mural on it I thought was funny for my display picture and turned off any search functions, fake name as well. I supervise some people and don't need them searching me or potential employers. I have LinkedIN or "business facebook" for that. If someone wants to be my FB friend they can either ask me or I'll search them up.
    As far as keeping the friend list low, purging "friends", and blocking apps as well as unsubscribing. I love that too. Must of purged fifteen people in the past year.
    Facebook is good if you use it for what you need. I use it to subscribe to some people from around the world that regularly post very hard to find music from some older genre's I am fascinated with as well as event planning with friends. Sharing a few laughs and keeping up to date with friends is great too.

    You can search for oriental last names like Li, Wu, Lu, and so forth, add every single good-looking oriental girl in your town, then start trying to sleep with them. I nailed countless hot FOB orientals that way.

    The other day I was hiding all the photos and videos of past conquests in my iPhoto as a courtesy to my wife who likes to pretend she isn't just another in a long line of girls I banged because of a fetish and I couldn't help but laugh as I noticed that all through X month I was banging girls with the last name Wu, then the next month, a half dozen girls named Lu, then the next month, a bunch of Liangs, and so on. I just went through my Chinese dictionary finding surname characters then searched for them.

    I'm off the Facebooks now though. I don't want my girlfriends to find out about my wife.

    I've learned that nothing gets self-righteous panties in a bunch like Facebook. People who don't use the site believe themselves awesome, never passing on an opportunity to tell anyone who will listen.

    People are idiots (uhh, duh?) and Facebook offers a medium that makes this fact more readily apparent.

    There are those who don't use FB and that's fine, I mean it's not for everyone. Don't want it, don't get it.

    Then there are those who talk about not having FB more then anyone who actually does have an account. Generally bringing up any newspaper article that mentions FB and asking anyone in earshot how FB works again.
    This will be followed by some "oh my god am I morally superior to you" eye rolling and some indignant comments followed by some smug pants jizzing looks.

    It's similar to Smokers, non-smokers, and anti-smokers in some small way.

    Nobody wants to hear the truth.

    Facebook taught me that a website can gain millions of members just by offering photo sharing and a message platform. I've also learned that selling out to someone else's agenda only takes a few key strokes.

    Oh god!

    A friend of mine was bit by the tattoo bug recently. She has been tattooed at least 4 times in the last 2 months. Her husband also got a "portrait" of their son tattooed on his arm. I wanted to point out how badly it was done. I just don't have the heart. Pic below (look at the fingers!):




    Additionally, people fishing for "prayers" for things like making it through the day or posting bible verses for their status piss me off. If the one chick wasn't so damned hot, I would delete her. Surprisingly, my few mormon friends remain the quietest on the preachy front.
