Anti Facebook

Ok so whats my beef with facebook ??

First and foremost i think social networks are killing human interaction. I mean all of a sudden every ones taken the lazy man's route and talking via invisible 'walls' what happens to let me sit on the wall outside your house and talk or lets sit in the four walls of your room and catch up. . . i mean what is this really?

To me facebook is the ultimate zone of Fakeness.
People sit there accepting friend requests from people they dont even know or never even talk to. But WHY? just to build an image, a profile of people whom are supposedly included in your life? most of which you don't actually like or care for. So why do people feel the constant need to update people of no real meaning to us on our lives?
Why relay your business? What happened to private life?

And why pretend your friends with someone when you are clearly not. It's true isn't it?

And why do people feel like its necessary to have facebook ?

This so called reason to keep in touch via facebook in my opinion is a load of CRAP. Why?
Because hello anyone you where bothered to keep in contact with you can call text or go visit. What where people doing before facebook was around? and what where people doing before mobile phones where around? Its called lets talk Face to Face. And lets be honest without facebook how many people on your 'friends list' would you actually be bothered to talk to ? So why are people pretending?

Why?

Why do you need it?

Allot of us are wasting away in front of facebook, clicking the refresh button to see if someones made an update, but why do we approve of this? Its virtually STALKING. Why do we approve of someone checking our page every 5 mins to see what where doing and not approve of them following us around? Isn't it the same thing ?

Do you know what else i hate about facebook.. the way people pretend, they pretend to be people there not. There so focused on making the most interesting status or dramatic wall comment they lose themselves in who they want everyone to think they are. People are to busy creating this image of themselves on this Internet page, one the world is open to see, but why don't they take the time to build the image in there character? Why does everything have to be so public all of a sudden ?
I mean people even argue over facebook isn't this the type of thing that should happen behind closed doors or walls or whatever. People moan about others being in their business yet they publicly display it.

And the VANITY! People post albums upon albums of themselves posing in front of there camera. Why is that necessary to show everyone? Especially when half the people on your friends list you dont know!?

Facebook is the feeding ground for paedophiles and perverts. FACT

I think people should stop pretending over facebook and get back to the real way of communication, dont just display yourself through the statuses and groups you join.

Find your real friends. And keep out of business that isn't your business to mind.

Life is not a show!! SO GET REAL !

P.S. one in five U.S divorces Involve FACEBOOK!

A Secretless Era.

Does anyone remember that time when secrets existed. When cock-ups and accidents and faux-pas weren't listed. When you could change to 'single' without facebook's command.

It's been away for sometime, which I've noticed myself. I was struggling for something to write. Wanted something witty and clever that people would like.

Abandoned Accounts

Abandoned Opuss accounts always upset me. Users forget or become bored and within days this beautiful app can become redundant to even the biggest fan of Opuss.

I can't share your opinion. I live in the uk, I lived for years in Switzerland, and I'm originally from Hungary! I've got friends from all over the world and Facebook is a really good site to see at least pictures of them, sending messages. Of course, email would do it as well, but it's nice to have all the info and friends on one site. Yeah, we lived before skype, Facebook and friends and families had to wait for letters. The world is a lot easier now, so what?

@sark you have a valid point, but I think the way in which certain people use Facebook in particular the younger generation of 15-23 year olds are using it in a manner which does not benefit their social image

@summay well, I know people, who are crazy about it, updating their status every 10 minutes, putting pictures on in underwear... But c'mon, those people are stupid! I also don't hate alcohol cause many people are alcoholic... U shouldn't be fed up with Facebook, I think it's kinda helpful sometimes, u should be fed up with stupid people on there!:)

Again fair point but Facebook is an Incentive for that behaviour. It offers a superficial hyper reality for youth to base actions around what they assume will make them look good. I am fed up with these people but I don't think Facebook is completely Faultless on its part

@summay Sam @ her... She didn't get the last comment

This is quite the reason why I don't have Facebook..~

But Opuss is completely different?

@Stenataar Opus is designed to share discussion with people we do not necessarily know there is little form of given identity besides the display picture and bio. Facebook is a means of recreating an identity for oneself through the Internet.

@summay i couldnt agree more about whst you hav said! Like @CuriousCat this is why im not on it! My friends are obsessed with it! It makes me sad to be losing my friends because of a web page

@nollaigdream Same! I had it but deleted it, and now all my friends are saying that I should get it again because it's the best thing since.. I dunno, air. It's stupid!

@@CuriousCat @nollaigdream people just portray themselves differently on Facebook
