Facebook - a penny for your thoughts.......

[Milltown Row2]

Jesus, FB has gone out of control lately with the amount of arguing over various different things lately (mainly the case were the guys were found not guilty )

I've culled a few recently, mainly ones that you shouldnt have accepted but felt, their sort of family and if I didnt then they would talk about me (talk about me anyways)

I love the unemployed ones who havent had a job in 30 years but were able to tell you the court system and how it works, and have a discussion about the middle east but you know what they were like in school and struggle to spell their name, never mind history and current affairs..

I go on to wind people up, but the wife is now cracking up and asking me not to get into a discussion with them! can't resist though

why is it ok to offend though - post an offensive picture or commentary to your entire friends list (via your wall) but not ok to be offended by that post?
I don't understand it.

Don't reply to it. It's not worth it. Discussions can't be had over facebook. If a pattern emerges, then just stop following that person's posts.

People post things on here that offend people, might not offend you but it offends others... and I've seen what could be offensive pics on here also

I've deactivated my account. Every few months I'll dip back in for a nosey for 10 mins or if someone tips me off that there are photos etc. but in general it's the same oul rubbish so I'm not missing anything.

I was wondering how many people's lives would have changed if we had Twitter and Facebook in the 1960's or 1970's. For example:

- with his dodgy friends, would Frank Sinatra's career have flourished?
- similarly, would Barbara Windsor have last as long as she did?
- would relaxation of laws on homosexuality have happened?
- would the Sun have been able to print Page 3?
etcetera etcerera

it has turned in to a real cheerleading exercise.....
girls especially with their makeup selfies and skinny apps to alter their appearance and their cheerleaders telling them how great they look - its all fake

the thing i find worry is the posting of opinions on contentious issues - if nobody speaks up AZ then are we all going along with it? I don't know where to draw the line sometimes.

Just delete your account and avoid all the fuss. Your mind will be better off.

Along the lines of FB grabbing information and passing it on to others, what do people make of this? Is this an intrusion, or a way for police agencies to get others to do their work for them, or is it the future? Should this sort of information, ie DNA, be permanently private and safe especially as its not being used for the purposes originally intended for it?

Maybe this was part of his grand plan as a serial killer. If not he is just stupid.

I'd say it is the future. If you have nothing to hide, then it is not a problem.
