Did you pass 4th grade English class?

You probably have thick Coke bottle glasses, and live in your childhood room at age 50, with your mom and dad.

Try again.

"Facebook lost 15 million US users in the past two years".

That is incorrect thinking. I bet you make a lot of mistakes in life.

First of all, just because the masses participate in something doesn't mean you have to. In fact sometimes it's best not to. Second, you never know who and for what purpose someone is looking at your personal information for. I personally know people who were stalked by people they didn't even know! It is very dangerous to post personal details online. I will agree though that today it is hard to prevent personal details from being posted by others, like information sellers.

My sister showed me social media a long time ago. Why is almost everyone posed smiling on vacation? Why are there no photos of the guy getting kicked out of his house by his wife who caught him cheating? That would be entertaining.

But the really turn off was when I saw one posting that simply said "I just went to the toilet." That was enough for me. I will never join any social media.

This Thread and the Author ARE FUCKING SUPID AND JUST A FICKING IDIOT!!

I really wonder about some of the people who post stuff on letsrun

Facebook is the worst thing that ever happened to the world. Facebook is by retards for retards. Facebook helped convince idiots that Donald Trump is:

A. A good businessman

B. I good leader

C. Intelligent

D. A decent human being

E. A patriot

America got the president they deserve, thanks to Facebook. Americans suck.

Still 70 % of the population in the United States is on Facebook. Let that sink in. I am married, but l would never date girl that wasn't on Facebook. It takes all the fun out of it, posting pictures and tagging her in it. I mean, l am just keeping it real. This is the reality of life in 2020. I mean what fun is it to be in a relationship or engaged on Facebook, but not have a name by it????

I lose nothing by not being on FB. If I waned to have a meaningful bond with you I would have stayed in touch through text. FB basically enhances the bond between you and a thousand acquaintances you wouldn't even bothers with otherwise.

Exactly why I never went to any High School reunions. The people that I cared about, I see or talk to on a regular basis.

facebook is a 100% sign that you have a low quality of life.

and i'm on it.

due to needing to connect.

prior, we be off the grid, in the surf, with babes, and motorcycling in the mountains, wine and cheese parties.

if you do this, the last thing you would do is go on the internet and do fartbook.,

its all 666

It is important mostly so people can see how many friends you have. If you have a thousand friends then people will respect you and you will be worth knowing. I have 872 friends so am hoping to just add people as I meet them. It is hard work to maintain numbers as people leave facebook or defriend me. I just take pity and leave them. I used to try and contact them another way if I noticed they weren't on my list anymore. You need to be strong to stay popular and survive on facebook

maybe this applied 5-10 years ago but doesn't apply now. facebook matured out of it being a cool social platform for teenagers and is now just a social platform for 25+. ask any kid who just got their first phone and they will tell you the first thing they download is snap or instagram and probably not facebook

Am under 25 and can confirm. Don't know a single person in my school that has Facebook, but everyone at least has Instagram.

Not on Facebook, is like not having a cell phone.

My dad is 59 and doesn't have neither. I must say no cell phone is much much weirder and inconvenient. There have been plenty occasions when he would be furious about "terrible service" "forcing me to get a cellphone". He never complained about anything that would force him to register on Facebook.

His reluctance to use a cellphone is somewhat justified though as he doesn't have anyone to call and doesn't need mobile internet either, and the cell contract prices in the US are ridiculous. In Russia, I pay 260 RUB (equivalent of $3.42) per month for 1500 minutes of airtime and unlimited traffic. There are quite a few things that are cheaper here, but not 20 times cheaper.

OP, this thread is completely bonkers. You've one-upped david45.

Also, if there's any shred of seriousness to this, I think you're projecting.

Your a retard !!!!

I turned 60 in May. Guess my absence from Facebook is now acceptable.

My preference is for social networking on a closed circuit through email.

You know that Zuckerberg considers us to be serfs ans peasants, right ?

Well, maybe I just dont want Zuckerberg having a look into all of my personal data and shoving personalized advertisements in my face 24/7. Kinda strange that the only reason you would believe someone wouldn't want their data being used as nothing more than a tool for advertisers would be because they are sex offender.

Ridiculous argument to judge people. Maybe the 30% aren't wasting their time posting about themselves or having to worry about their personal data being shared with others to bombard them with unwanted marketing and propaganda. 70% of American adults are overweight. So does that mean there's something "wrong" with the 30% who are healthier?

Just be sceptical if someone tells you they aren't on Facebook.

I m skeptical if somebody asks me if I m on Facebook!!!! What do you want to know on my Facebook that you cannot ask me personally, face to face , eyes to eyes??
