Does anybody here use Facebook?
Just wondering if people out there really use this stuff...
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

I have never even been to the facebook site I think.
No. I did have a myspace page, as I mentioned in that other thread, but just before I came here, I was deleting it, or deactivating it, whatever it is called, because if I didn't, I'd end up losing my temper at a couple of friends of mine who are actually so low as to use me as a pawn in the fallout from their affair, which was a sleazy one to begin with.
As far as I have seen, these sites are a place where adults can regress back into childhood. This place is stupid too, but I guess it's my kind of stupid, and those social networking sites are definitely not.
I have never felt the need to acquire hundreds of "friends", the ones i currently have are bad enough.
Consequently, i turn my nose up at the Facebooks and their idiot users.

Cool 'nuff.
The consensus is... Facebook sux.

Well unless Republicans sez it don't in a survey.

True, because we all know that the first thing you do is whatever a republican says.
For the rest of us, it still sux.

I have a facebook page and do not feel the need to acquire hundreds of "friends" either.
But with 3 college age kids and friends all over the country, its a good way to keep in touch without having to remember who you have talked to recently and who you haven't.
Its like anything else, it depends on what you want and what you expect from it.
I had a myspace (unsure if I still do) that I used for the same purpose. I think facebook is better.

I shall excuse your use of the Facebooks, Sol, if you assure me you do not change your Facebooks 'mood' on a daily basis.
Those people should be killed. Think carefully.
I think I did put "Happy New Year" up on my status. Before that it was "Happy Halloween".
There is a 'mood' setting? I guess I don't pay attention to the trappings as well as some.
yes
Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "
Really? So you are a facebook guy? Do you use it mostly for family, or do you use it to spread your ridiculous political opinions, or do you use it to torment your friends?
