OK...so I opened a facebook account because we are coming up on a HS reunion and lots of the class are on facebook.
HOLY SHIT! MOST OF THESE ASSHOLES RANGE FROM LIBERALS TO OUTRIGHT COMMUNISTS AND THEY POST IT. ONE EX-FRIEND COLLEGE PROF IS IN AN ANTI-CAPITALISM GROUP. I SENT HIM AN EMAIL FLAMING HIS ASS. If he gives me any shit I will tell his Commie ass to GTFO because he does not have a right to live in my GD nation. I put my life on the line for the Constitution, I told him. FUCK THEM! I am seriously considering closing the account. Nothing there anyway. FUCKING country is going down the tubes fast. These old friends are the same people who would be my enemy when the Revolution starts. Would someone please start it. Rant Over. |
Closed my last week. It's a PITA. Sometimes people you DON'T want to reconnect with find you. I was minding my own business and the drama llama walked into my living room, took a shit on the carpet and wiped it's ass with the drapes. This is all the social networking I need.  |
|
Goddam...you just saved my account. One bubba there is a former (always) EOD Tech. He did one of those " five things you take with you when you leave the house" and a Glock was on the list. |

Thanks, I never thought to look for an AR-15 group. |

Thanks, I never thought to look for an AR-15 group. So I am not good at looking up groups yet. Hoping all my "friends" see the AR group. |

I hear ya there brother, and thank you for your service!!
I did the same thing, and got the same results. I thought what the fuk man!!!! I hung in for a little while longer, and seen a buddy of mine on there who is still in the sandbox. I finally got a chance to talk to him breefly one night, and felt so much better hearing from him, and knowing he is alright. After that I found a pic of some of my female friends from school standing on a porch holding rifles. You might want to hang in there for a little longer, but if not; I don't blame you one bit either. |
|
Oh HELL YES. That might make me actually interested in this stupid thing. (And yes, the whole drama thing reared its head here too....) |

Quoted: Quoted: How dare they have different opinions to you and how dare they exercise their First Amendment right and express those opinions!!!!! OMG!!!!  The real issue is how many libbies there are as compared to conservatives. I actually find it a good way to learn about my friends and neighbors and find out who the libtards are. It is also possibly to create groups ("lists") of friends and limit which of your updates they see. I put all the libtards in a group that doesn't see anything I post and I still get to see and laugh at the BS they come out with. Here's a blurb on privacy and lists: How to Create Lists of Friends to Use in Controlling Who Gets to See What in Your Posts and Notifications. This new Facebook layout is a nightmare, isn't it? Recently people have been sharing tips about how to control things like privacy and spamming one another with posts. One thing I came across and took a little while to figure out is controlling who gets to see what in your quiver of friends. I found that by putting together lists of certain chosen friends I can control what information goes out to whom. 1) Go to the "Friends" menu item at the top of the page. 2) Hover over "Friends" and choose "All Friends". 3) In the new page that opens go to the left of your screen to the left sidebar where the box says "Friend Lists". Here is where the chosen friend lists reside. 4) At the bottom of the box it says "Make a New List". Click. It will ask you to choose a New List name. Think of a category of friends that you'd like to group together and name it. I have "Close Friends", "Family", "Colleagues", "Outdoor Friends", "High School Friends", University Friends", "Blog Friends". 5) Hit enter and a new page will open, asking you to choose the friends you'd like to include in that group. You have the option to choose a single person or multiple people at once. 6) You now have a group of friends that you can choose to limit an application or notification to to preserve your privacy. For example, go to your profile page and just under the "The Wall" text field at the top of the page you will see "(Your Name) + Friends / Just (Your Name) / Just Friends / * Settings" Click on "Settings" . The preferences page will open. Go down to "Stories Posted by Friends" and you will see a number of choices for who can see your wall. Look at "Who can see posts made by friends?" Most likely it will be set to "My Networks and Friends". Click on this dropdown menu and you will see "Customize" at the bottom. Click on this and open a new window that says "Who Can See This?". You will see a list of different friend group items. Click on "Some Friends". A Text field will open. Type in the name of the Friend list you created above and hit enter. Now only this list of friends will be able to see your wall postings. I use this for my daily status updates at the top of my profile so that only people I feel would be interested in hearing what I am doing everyday will have to be bombarded with my frequent, mind-numbingly mundane posts. I can also use it when posting to a note like this you are reading right now... just scroll down to the bottom of the window to the "Who can see this?" dropdown menu, choose "Customize" and follow the above procedures for choosing which friend list you'd like to post the note to. There, isn't that SO EASY!!!! Ugh! Now you can see why it took forever to figure out! But I think it does help quite a lot in keeping your privacy safe. |

I made a facebook account with no real intention of using it. So far I've gotten 5 friend requests from people I used to know who haven't responded to my "Hey. Its been forever. How are you?" messages after allowing them to add me as a friend.
What facebook is really for |

OK...so the adult website I use kicked me out so I opened a facebook account, figured I might get some interest there, then I found out that we are coming up on a HS fucking reunion and lots of my old classmates are total douche bags. (That should have been about 4 sentences.) They were always doing stuff like giving me swirlies, stuffing me into lockers, you know how dickhead kids can be. I also found out that most of them were on facebook. HOLY FUCKING SHIT! MOST OF THESE COCK SUCKING ASSHOLES RANGE FROM STUPID FUCKING LIBERALS TO OUTRIGHT OBAMA COCK SUCKING COMMUNISTS (I'm more of a fascist myself) AND THEY FUCKING POST IT. ONE EX-FRIEND COLLEGE PROF, no he never touched me (why did I offer that up?) IS IN AN MOTHERFUCKING ANTI-CAPITALISM GROUP CALLED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! I SENT HIM AN EMAIL COMPLIMENTING HIS ASS. I also explained that I pissed that he was anti-capitalist. If he gives me any shit I will tell his Commie ass and the rest of him to GTFO because he does not have a right to live in my GODDAMNED nation. I put my motherfucking life on the line for the fucking Constitution, I told him. I love our liberties, our freedom of speech and freedom of expression, I just want to make sure that his fucking speech and expressions meet my standards! FUCK THEM! I am seriously considering sending a strongly worded letter to facebook. the account. Nothing there anyway. THIS MOTHERFUCKING country is going down the fucking tubes faster than cum down a whore's throat. These old, fat ugly bitches are the same cunts who wouldn't give me the time of day back in high school now they will be my enemies when the Revolution starts. I think I just farted. Rant Over. An anti-capitalist college professor?  I don't believe it!

Can't tell you how many old "friends" and some "new" ones have "De-Friended" me due to my comments and posting the NOBAMA count down to his last day as POTUS!
My page is mine. People don't like it they can piss off. |

I don't have the freedom that the general public has sometimes and I can end up down at I.A. (again) for simply having an opinion. Sad but true. |

Easy solution - under privacy options turn off sharing everything with friends then create a list/group of friends that you trust to read anything you post. You still see what everyone posts and can reply to people individually but anyone you add sees nothing unless you choose to let them see it. |

Quoted: Quoted: My rules: 1. No Twitter 2. No Facebook 3. No MySpace It's like I don't exist. this. It's highschool girl bullshit. Wonder how many relationships have ended just because of this bullshit? I agree about myspace but twitter, linkedin, and facebook (to a lesser degree) are all good business tools and facebook is great for keeping in touch with all the friends/relatives you would otherwise just call once or twice a year. |

With the exception of 2 people(My best friend since I was 5, and some chick Im trying to get some..nevermind)all my facebook friends I knew in the Corps.(really the reason I signed up for it)
There is a reason I joined the Corps. To get away from the RETARDS in my HS. |
| I actually find face book a great tool. I am very active in my local GOP. It is a way to stay connected to people across the nation and the state. Just because former friends are libbies does not mean that facebook is dominated by them. Just look in the right places. |

"People I know from various websites who Ill probably never actually meet" Thats you arfcom!

Facebook was fine before they started opening it up.
When they started to expand from college to high school, it started going to shit immediately. The transformation to total and complete shit became complete as soon as they fully opened it up to everybody under the sun. I still have an account, but only really check it if I get a message from somebody. |

thank you

You and I are friends and we did meet once...but that was before it was open to anyone, and before you moved to Ohio.

I pathologically maintain a facebook account to post constant articles about how much Obama sucks and how cool guns are, and how much I hate the entire current administration.
I know they don't like it, but I figure I'll just get them used to it. I've even been told by people I work with, who added me for some reason, that I am worrying them will all the posts about guns. I asked them what exactly they were worried about. They folded. I also use it because it is easier than remembering who I am supposed to email pics of my kids to. |

Link up with the CATO group on there … plenty of like minded people if you look for them.
And it's easy enough to block people you don't want to see or hear from. Kinda silly to get all worked up over it … if you're seriously afraid all the Commies are going to mind control you through Facebook just get off it. |

you think it's bad for you hose-danglers, it's even WORSE for us Sharkie.......Especially when you have a couple of people that are looking for ANy excuse to file an EEOC complaint and get a payout. About the only Good thing i've found with FB is that nobody can see your page unless you "Friend" them, so you can be selective. |
