I thought I was the only person without a Facebook account!!
It warms my heart to see others here that never signed on....
It just never made sense to me.....

Facebook is a great way to renew old friendships, keep in touch with folks you wouldn't necessarily see every day, and share information...

Facebook is for chicks and people who never wanted high school to end.
You don't need FB to do that. I've been doing it all along with a cell phone, a snail mail box, email and a couple of forums. FB would be redundant.

It amazes me how many naysayers there are here who know nothing about FB and have never tried it.
Tantamount to people who complaining about government, but never vote.

I really enjoy Facebook. Two of my kids are in college in another town and its nice to see the pictures they post. I've reconnected with cops and pals I worked with all over the country. It took me a little while to warm up to it, but I'm glad I did.

I wonder if they censor discussions on buying selling and using illegal drugs??

Had even a passing desire to be part of Face book. I have personally seen it cause family's to fall apart, lifetime friendships to be dissolved, and don't get me started on the disgusting things (photos) some people post.
Business' that tell you to "like" them to get a discount...I try not to support them. Keeping in touch with family/friends? What happened to the telephone, and USPS?
I may get flamed for my post, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

One of my brothers lives in a very rural area on Maryland's Eastern Shore. (That's the part of our state that lies between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean). He doesn't own a computer, and transacts business the same way we all did 40 years ago. He writes checks to pay his bills, watches the television to get his news, etc. Does it work? Yes, but in this day and age it ain't the most efficient way to stay connected.
I like the immediacy and efficiency of Facebook. And it's great for communicating as a community. I belong to several fire service-related groups on FB, and just recently got some detailed information from a source there about my great-grandfather, who was also a Baltimore firefighter. In 2013 my high school classmates organized a joint 60th birthday party/reunion through Facebook. And just yesterday, a little girl who was missing here in Maryland was located in North Carolina through an Amber Alert posted on Facebook.
Yeah, it can be redundant, but it also offers advantages no other internet entity does.

it's so much easier to instant message someone that is 3 hours behind...i usually talk to my aunts who are in tuscon, arizona and ranier washington late at night...when everyone else in my house is asleep. i was just talking to my aunt in washington a few minutes ago. it's nice to be able to hold a conversation(not possible with USPS) and not wake the wife and kids because i am talking on the phone...
it's all in how you use it...if you want to start, or be a part of, drama on facebook, chances are it would have happened eventually anyway...

I'm going to guess they'd censor most anything if they were convinced it came with a significant risk of bad press and expensive litigation. As would many businesses.
I have a account....
I have an account but I've never used it, but recently my wife decided to try it out. Now every day my email has at least 10 notices from Facebook.

I guess the point I've really been trying to make all along is that if you like FB and enjoy using it then I say go for it. But FOR ME I have no use for it or interest in it. Never have. Never will. Perhaps mine is a simple existence but I get along just fine like I've been doing. Perhaps I'll jump all over the next fad that comes along I can't say. Face Book just doesn't have anything I want, need or have any interest in.

They are in a tough spot. One of their outfits allows classified postings and a teenager bought a gun and shot someone. They are under a lot of pressure. I do not believe they are in bed with anti-gun groups but they are catching hell for "unregulated sales" of guns. So as a compromise they are making some restrictions. Unfortunate, but I think FB had little choice. Besides, if the site was indeed being used by people not allowed to buy guns to buy guns, we don't favor that continuing do we?
