another stupid facebook status. (here's one guerilla hehe)

Me too and I'm a 57 year old woman not from a red neck town. You don't need to make excuses for being a nosey bastard. I love it!

 

teenagers? i have people my age on there who say the same shit.

for almost the exact same reason people bother with hipforums.

well i'm sure he was more skilled at farming.

 

I'm certain he was.
Because I'm eqully sure that if you took away the tractor, industrial pesticides, gentically modified seed, etc. Today's farmer probably couldn't grow enough food to feed his own household.

Now I'm certain there are exceptions to my comments. But lets face facts, the average person today pretty much dependant on all the "conviences." If the shit ever hit the fan and we all had to learn to do without, most people would be wiping thier asses on poison ivy instead of moss and crying about the good old days when they had Charmin.

 

tell me about it. I always find out that my sister has broken up with her boyfriend (for the 8th..13th...205775th time..) on facebook weeks before she even mentions it to me. what the hell is that shit? break ups are bad enough without involving all 300 people on your friends list in the break up. its so silly.

but i'm nosy too, so i can't bring myself to delete my facebook.

 

Let me ask you this. When you drive down the highway and there is an accident at the side of the road. What do you do? Are you rubber necker that slows down to get a good look and blocks traffic for last mile? Or do you politely mind your own business and not waste everyone else's time.

Sorry I'm just being nosy and not trying to be insulting. (honestly)

 

no i dont rubberneck. I don't get off on others' pain and misery. Looking at pictures on facebook of people i havent seen in a few years is a little bit different than trying to see if anyone got banged up or killed in a car accident.

 

just because 2 people live in completely different environments doesn't mean that one is necessarily more skilled than the other, just skilled in different areas.

i guarantee today's farmer would do better at feeding his family with 1800s technology than 1800's farmer would do at farming today. of course, that doesn't mean that today's farmer is more skilled either.

 

The game apps i dont get, why bother with some pissy flash game when you can go stick Black Ops in your xbox


The status bar thingy and story posts in Facebook does seem to highlight how chic specific that positive reinforcement thing is

"Oh Darling, what a beautiful family you have", you click on the link and it looks like a cast photo from the Biggest Loser

"Oh sweetie, she's such a gorgeous baby" - even though she looks like Jeff Goldblum in a diaper

Whereas the guys are like, its a perfect day, heading out fishing, and even though I just want to go fishing by myself to get the fuck away from everyone I still need to point out to everyone that either I have a boat and you dont, or if you do have a boat, mine is still bigger than yours

 

i keep my facebook in case i need to get in contact with one of my "friends". you know, like for knowledge, networking, business connections etc. i stopped being nosey as soon as all of my former classmates started posting statuses about the consistency of their baby's poop/how much they love their savior jesus christ/ etc. most of my friends are on "hide posts" status lol.

 

considering this is no way we can test your position or mine.
I guess we just need to disagree.

 

You're having an awfully big off-topic hissy fit over something as silly as a website.
If you don't like it, don't use it. But don't come in here thinking you're all special and enlightened over it.

 

im still praying to RA that they add a dislike button.. I could have fun with that


edit: just imagine..

`I`d just like to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ for surrounding me with people that love me, and for helping me get through the toughest times. HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!` -real post

(Andrew dislikes this)

 

That is a fantastic idea.

 

I don't like it.
I don't use it.
I'm not throwing a hissy fit.
And I am enlightened.

Unfortunately Facebook is pretty much fucking with my life even though I'm not on it.

In my second of 3 interviews for a job. The interviewer came right out and said to me;
"I tried to find you on Facebook. What's your account so we can be certain if you would fit in here."

Of course I responded that I didn't have a Facebook account to which he responded.
"Well that does considerably complicate the process."

So now because of every dummy and his brother that is on Facebook notifying the entire world of each time they fart. I'm expected to post my private life and intimate details in order to get the job I wanted.

This is George Orwell's book 1984. And just like the book, my enemy is not the government. It's the dummys that keep it in power.

I keep friendships for the exact same mercenary reasons as you herbalist.

I'm not being sarcastic. We should be friends.

 

dude, i have family i've never heard of. i have a cousin mike and an uncle randy. and all kinds of other cousins who are really good looking. for a while there i was the best of the bunch. apparently we got better through the years.
