Wouldn't a message board be just as much, if not more so, inclined to be full of fake friends than Facebook?
What? Who believes that any of the people on here are their friends?

Yes, to everything you have said on here.

Meanwhile, I'll sit back and watch as more people spend more time posting about what a waste of time Facebook is, to all of us strangers hahahaha

But it still does not matter, if you use Facebook at work while taking a break, unless you don't do it on a company's computer and network your privacy may not be private. Check your Facebook page on a work computer, or use their network, and you are liable to share your privacy with the company you work for. If you don't believe me, check your work contract.
I work in a professional office...we certainly do not access social sites at work.

The fact that my mom who was born in 1950 uses facebook is enough for me not to sign up.

No thanks.

I'm too hip for my shirt.

prefer guys who dont have it.

if people have it for their kids pics or whatever thats fine but I really got sick of neighbors pics of her middle aged son and his latest birthday.

Something about FB just brings out narcisssism, don't like it.

i can't think of any of my peers who don't have facebook. i was a member of the class entering freshman year of college in 2005 when facebook took off, so we are the facebook generation so to speak. that being said i wouldn't care unless he had an annoying, condescending attitude about it.
