Facebook should be banned

[tintin40]

spend to much time on here

FaceBIKE ??

I have found a couple of mates from BITD on here.

The Mrs went on for a week or so, got inundated with muppets she used to know, so ended up binning the whole thing.

Know exactly where she's coming from tbh mate..

Only reason I opened a 2nd account and nailed it down was because there's a couple of people I have no other way of getting in touch with...

Won't use it, big invasion of privacy.

Facebook and Twitter are things that young girls do when they're not texting mates or straightening their hair! :?

I've seen Facebook cause a lot of problems in relationships.

Personally I very rarely go on it

I like it.

I work in the Merchant Navy, and couple of my good friends have moved so it is a good way of staying in touch.

I do agree that a lot of it is utter tosh, but surely you just tailor your page to suit you. I have no intention of being in the 'Mob', let alone getting involved in a 'war' and I don't like having sheep chucked at me. that kind of thing is too childish even for me!!

I think the truest comment ever passed was on BBC4 a while back, an anthroplogist was discussing the way humans interact; it turns out the maximum size of primate groups is about 150, the most common size of villages in the Magna Carta is also 150, Military organizations (platoons/squadrons/ship's companies) try to sub divide around the 150 mark also to keep inter-personal relationships workable.
She pointed out that if you have 600 'friends' on facebook that either '600' or 'friends' is incorrect.

I have less than 100 friends on facebook, and I can honestly say that I see over half of them once every 6 months at least in the flesh, and the remainder once every 3 years ('cos they live abroad).

I also am not big into the 'Identity theft' parnoia. Why the Fudge would someone want to be me? Want my overdraft??? Fine!

I've seen Facebook cause a lot of problems in relationships.

I knew my marriage was circling the drain when I saw my (now ex) wife's status on Bebo was no longer set to 'married' :shock:

Of course, I suppose someone in their mid 30s opening a Bebo account should have rung alarm bells to begin with...

I was up in Fraserburgh in Februaury and March and all the locals were on BeBo, no-one had a Facebook account.

Is there some sort of national distrust of Facebook? The colours are right and I'm pretty sure it's not English.
