That site is useless. It says facebook is down just for me when it's obvious that people from all over the world are having trouble accessing it.

You lose, and you are doing it wrong, it said it looked down from there.

Why? I don't understand the hate. If you don't use it, then don't use it. Why hate a website, especially one so universally useful.

I hate FB because with out fail 3 or so times a week I encounter a person who asks me for my FB info. When I tell them I don't have a FB they feel it's their duty to explain to me what I'm missing out on but not having one and how I should run home and sign up. They're worse than the religious nutts who knock on my door trying to tell me why I should become a Mormon. These people about FB can't just take a "I don't use it" and walk away. They always try to sell me on the fucking site. And some will even bring it up the next time they see you, mind you to each and every one I explain why I'll never have a facebook. To me it's not universally useful, it's a hinderance. WHen you tell somebody you refuse to use it and they give you a blank stare...


ARGH I just want to punch them in the face, watch I'm going to the grocery store now and I betcha I'll run into one of those FB cult fuckers.

You know, you really might want to just give in and sign up. It's a great way to connect with your friends, old high school buddies, and coworkers. It's also a great platform for awesome games like Farmville, Mafia Wars, and countless other titles helpfully provided by Zynga, Inc. I find that it's an experience that truly enriches my internet experience, and you would too if you just gave it a chance.

I would suggest you find the games that zynga ripped off and made the copies off of.

Most tend to be better then the zynga clones.

I had an account a few years ago for about a week on there, I looked for people I went to high school with. The only one I found was a dude who beat me up and took my Air Jordans...

You sound good I think you went to the same FB brainwashing class they all did :D

You have no friends that have it, outside of who you went to HS with?

I have a few friends on it, but most of my friends still use Myspace. Either way, I see them in real life more than enough to even want to see more of them online. If I'm curious about what they're doing, I do what people did before the interwebs, I pick up a phone and call or stop by their pads.
