It exposes people who you thought were intelligent as complete idiots.

I think it's time to sacrifice a calf and delete the account.

I deleted my account last year. Haven't missed it much, but never used it much to begin with.

Never had one. Well....I have one, but I've never used it. Not a single post or any activity at all on it, haven't even looked at it in years. Wonder if they delete accounts if they have never been used?

I doubt they even delete accounts that have been deleted

It just gives people a platform to broadcast their narcissism to the world. It's sorta like having to watch every time someone looks at themselves in the mirror.

The analogy I use to describe Facebook is like running into an old friend at the store, except after you go through that awkward silence and then say "Well, good to see you again!" and walk away, they tell you what they had for lunch, invite you to play an online game of Poker with them and show you all the pictures of their kids, pets and last vacation.

That is only if you are stalking them...

The new security setup makes it a little easier to block update items from people you don't want to see, but still you have to tell Facebook "No, I really don't like this person even though they're my friend. Unsubscribe from all their updates and keep their shit off my wall". That's not really stalking if you have to actively work to not do it.

Facebook is great when you have a huge social life and you meet a lot of people all the time. Easier to keep in touch.

If you're just adding old friends from high school and you don't meet at least 5 new people every week than I could see how it would be annoying.. I only have a a select few friends from high school on mine.
