Since we've been talking about Facebook......here's one person's take on it:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

PRESENTLY, I AM TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF FACEBOOK WHILE APPLYING THE SAME PRINCIPLES.


THEREFORE EVERY DAY, I GO DOWN ON THE STREET AND TELL THE PASSERBY WHAT I HAVE EATEN, HOW I FEEL, WHAT I HAVE DONE THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND WHAT I WILL DO AFTER.


I GIVE THEM PICTURES OF MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, MY DOG, AND ME GARDENING AND SPENDING TIME IN MY POOL.

I ALSO LISTEN TO THEIR CONVERSATIONS AND I TELL THEM I LOVE THEM.

-- AND IT WORKS: I ALREADY HAVE 3 PERSONS FOLLOWING ME: TWO POLICE OFFICERS AND A PSYCHIATRIST!

1. 😂

👍

2. People who don't like Facebook need not use it

[Otto_Harper]

4. And we don't (NT)

[ColinC]

7. Same

[Sherman A1]

8. Precisely

Well said.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Stupid. Totally stupid.

If you don't like Facebook, don't go there. Sort of like, if you don't believe in abortion don't have one.

I have found Facebook to be incredibly useful for very specific and personal reasons. So I will stay there. If you don't want to be there, that's okay.

[Ms. Toad]

5. logically flawed.

Those conversation on facebook are not about trying to make friends. They are the casual chatter that happens in an established friendship.

[SunSeeker]

6. Yes, I only friend people I already know in real life.

I got on Facebook because that was the main way my in-laws communicate with family. Then I slowly added other people I know.

[Sherman A1]

9. Oh, is it time for the weekly Facebook bashing post?

Usually on Wednesday each week as I recall. You seem to be a day off schedule…….

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Trust me, my dear Sherman A1! I will NEVER make that mistake again. UGH.

I posted this because I thought it was funny!

I guess I was wrong.

[Sherman A1]

11. I have concluded going forward to start expending my ignore list

And the Facebook bashers are going on it. Not, so much that they are entirely incorrect, but the point has been made, the horse is dead, it needs no beating and frankly life is too short for their negativity.

Don’t like the service, don’t use it, seems simple enough.

[mountain grammy]

12. I think it's funny

I still like Facebook too.

[Sherman A1]

14. We will have to disagree on that

[mountain grammy]

16. and you would be right to..

It's not Facebook I like. I like using it and the connections it makes possible. I've met and reconnected with some pretty great people and that's been positive. But Facebook, nobody should like. They are beyond bad.. they have blood on their hands. I want to see them clean up their act and atone for the mess they've contributed to.

but as a social platform, Peggy's post was right. Nothing else works like it. Is that worth the evil they've done? I guess it is to me right now..

[ShazzieB]

20. It's very funny, Peggy.

It totally cracked me up!

[blueinredohio]

13. LOL!

[3Hotdogs]

15. Ya gotta be careful of the family photos, especially the grandkids. More so for seniors.

Carlin pointed it out. (Paraphraseing)

---Ya gotta watch out for the grandma with the new grandkid. Out comes the first photo of the baby and if ya go, "Aw, s/he's cute." then out comes 15 more and you've wasted a half hour's time..... and multiply that by every next time you see grandma...

So ya gotta head it off at the pass. When the first picture comes out, your response has gotta be, "Will ya look at the size of the fukin' head on that kid? Where'ya gonna get a hat to fit that head?"

and that'll stop it before it gets out'a hand.

[Lydiarose]

17. Old School

Young people are more into Insta and Twitter than Facebook nowadays.

[DeeDeeNY]

18. Funny!

[Lydiarose]

19. What year is this?

If there's no year, do we assume it's the current year?

[niyad]

21. Not on facebook, but that was funny.

[trof]

22. You haven't lost the touch Peg. Or a step.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Thank you, my dear trof. You're too kind.

[trof]

24. Back atcha'
