NO causes too many problems imo.
mk1 ftw. lol
facebook invented for the jerermy kyle generation.
I think the bottom line is it's a user-content based social network, so its worth depends on how people use it and what they put into it.
Yeah there are gazillions of ASWs posting "Just had a marmalade sammich LOL" on there, but if you don't want to see tat like that then its not hard to block it. Plus even if you DID see tat like that it would be one of your contacts on there posting it... lol If you don't like content someone is posting, block/delete it. What do you do if someone sends "humourous" emails (:roll:) to your inbox? Block/delete them? Or stop using email because its for ASWs? lol
You can't deny its a useful tool - all your contact details in one place which you can access from any internet capable device (which these days even includes the fridge), the ability to share content online (its easier to upload pics on FB than inviting everyone you know round and whipping out the prints from supasnaps lol), event organisation, etc.
No, because its ghey!
Im quite surprised at the results actually
And yes it can cause problems,every couple i know who have had it (or one of them has it) has had problems associated by that,me and my mrs included.
She recieved an inbox message before off a bloke she used to work with which read this....
"Hope u had a gud nite last nite,wish id gon out,id have bought u a drink,nut then id have probs told u how unbelievably hot u are"
(now bear in mind this fat gutter snake knows she's as good as married to me with 2 kids)
I was replying to a message from a prospective customer at the time so saw it pop up...
"And if i had been out with lynne,i'd have snapped your jaw you fukkin little prick"
Needless to say he never replied......
Point is,had that been a comment on her wall saying "oh you looked nice" or "new hair suits you etc,nice dress" it wouldnt have bothered me,what bothered me is he knows shes with me with 2 kids but yet still wrote that in the cold,sober light of sunday morning,sending it by pm which is behind the scenes and sneaky.
png is the same as facebook, but with cars!!lol
Yeah, but he could have used email or a text message, or written her a letter lol. You cant blame FB for that.Quote:

And as for letters,that happened once before but i wont go into that
Again, hardly FB's fault lolQuote:

The people who go on Jeremy Kyle, I mean the ones that aren't actors (lol), would be the same no matter what, its just they use FB as a medium to express their skadge. Otherwise it would be Myspace, Bebo, G+ (!)... if not social networking then you'd be looking at text messages, emails, or whatever other mediums the yoof of today abuse lol
we had something similar in the olden days, it was called a phone book.... and everyone was listed unless they were really posh & had ex directory.... and you could go to your town library & look up the whole country..Quote:

i sell more car bits on facebook than ebay lol
I agree Jack but had he/my mrs not had fb there would have been no means of contact really.I see what your saying though.
I'll still never have one lol
My business has sort of got one but what the hell do i write on the wall???
"New customers always welcomed,no bad payers,messers or dog muck all over"?! LOL
Nah seriously,ive got some before and after fascia/gutter and conservatory cleans i wanna put on there along with my van when it gets sign written.
I might even do an obscene gesture while smoking a roll up (i'll pretend its a reefer lol)
who says lets set up a FAKE andy fb pagelolQuote:

I have a FB account. Has been really useful to me this past few weeks whilst out here in Japan. Skype hasnt been working for me, or it does then drops out, so i can message the misses and she can write back. Also she has been posting pictures of my son on there. She says its so i dont forget what he looks like LOL
I have a clearout every now and then. Some right sad numpties on there. LOL @ Jack sammich comment. People like that get deleted. I ask myself why i was there "friend" in the first place!!!
Mutual love of sandwiches?Quote:

Yes i'm on facebroke, but it's only really useful to host photos to share with your real friends and family, there are way too many ASW's who turn into keyboard warriors at the drop of a hat or the fair weather friends who delete you if you don't agree with the crap they spout,...i find it very theraputic to have a cull every couple months.,, :0)
yeah im on it. i forget how serious people take the whole thing tho. i also only add people i actually know (or met a few times if there from here) and have a friends cull every couple of months. ive found alot of people would comment/like status' and pics but then id see them in town and they'd ignore me lol they get jogged on sharpish
Facebook is alright, I have quite a large amount of friends on there, mainly due to a game I play. But I like the game and friend requests etc go with it.
Just have to learn to "screen out the bullsh!t".
Which isn't hard to do to be fair.
I'm not on it... infact I'm not on here either

once the bullsh!t has been filtered out, it must be like looking at a blank screen.Quote:

BUT on the flip side, If I wanted to rip the pee out of the amoutn of friends i rip the pee out of on FB on a daily basis, I would need shares in Vodafone. FB is a good social supplement tool, it should NOT be a replacement.Quote:

For me, it has the opposite effect. I made a comment on Toms FB recently, and it propted him to call me and we ended up talking for half an hour and nearly weeing ourselves with laughter.
A hammer is for hitting nails in, so its a good tool for that. It is a very poor tool for winding in screws though. You cant blame the hammer if some idiot tries using it for that.
^^ but the threads on screws are only for removing them :confused:
Near enough sometimes lolQuote:

Have got a few like that. And family on there that live in another country...
the wife & no.1 daughter use it. i don't. they regularly leave it on, and i read some right twaddle on there. before now, i've sent no.1 daughter off on her bike round to her friends house to interact properly, instead of wearing out 2 pc's.Quote:
