grafikhaus74 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 OK. Explain to me why I need a FaceBook account. Well firstly, you can claim to have hundreds of 'friends' (few if any of whom you'll meet). Secondly, you can pretend to your 'friends' that your life is so exciting (which it would be if you spend all day on the computer) that you need to explain every detail of it. 'Just bought a paper. LOL!' Thirdly, you can post piccies, which is as exciting as looking at somebody else's piccies (i.e. not at all) Fourthly you can use the Jeremy Kyle contestant's tool of choice - WasteOfSpaceBook. 'You told me it woz his baybee on Facebook!' Lead a normal life and steer clear (until the next must-have tool for morons comes out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'd hardly call you normal if a) you don't have an account and b) you think that's what they're for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlades Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I ignore it and it doesn't cause me any problems. What's all the complaints about?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafikhaus74 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'd hardly call you normal if a) you don't have an account and b) you think that's what they're for. OK, so you'd say I could 'hardly be called normal'. You, on the other hand, with your 37,736 posts in less than eight years (over 13 a day) are obviously 'normal'.

Murphy Jnr Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'll go along with Grafikhaus, i had a look to see what it was about and, well that was it, within two weeks the account was closed again. Maybe i missed the whole point of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, on the other hand, with your 37,736 posts in less than eight years (over 13 a day) are obviously 'normal'. You're going to claim that using a forum is strange? That's a funny argument to make on a forum If you dismiss facebook without even understanding what it's for then yes, I'd say you're hardly normal. If you'd tried it and didn't want to use it, that I could understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Let me analyse this a bit more closely for you though. Well firstly, you can claim to have hundreds of 'friends' (few if any of whom you'll meet). No. You can keep it to just real friends, that's what everyone I know does. The meeting of course comes before facebook, you don't 'friend' someone and then meet them in real life. Secondly, you can pretend to your 'friends' that your life is so exciting (which it would be if you spend all day on the computer) that you need to explain every detail of it. I suppose you could, but why would you? It's no more likely than you emailing all your friends to pretend that something exciting just happened... 'Just bought a paper. LOL!' Thirdly, you can post piccies, which is as exciting as looking at somebody else's piccies (i.e. not at all) I like to see the pictures of holidays and nights out that I'm in, in the past I might never have seen them. Fourthly you can use the Jeremy Kyle contestant's tool of choice - WasteOfSpaceBook. 'You told me it woz his baybee on Facebook!' Lead a normal life and steer clear (until the next must-have tool for morons comes out). Ermmm, maybe you need to watch day time tv to understand this, I don't on both counts.

You seem very defensive. This suggests that deep down you know that spending every minute of your leisure time hunched over your laptop looking at photos of other people's families is no substitute for going out to the pub and having a laugh with real life friends.
