Get rid of Facebook! that shit is so pointless, what ever happened to calling your buddies and findin out how they're doin? or going over and chillin rather then having a facebook conversation and liking each others photos. What ever happened to going outside??? I swear some people hardly get off facebook, when I use to have it I'd see them online every time I logged in, that shit can't be healthy for you. Even twitter, it's changing the way people talk, that whole hashtag shit is whack. You spend all this time and money getting educated in a decent school system only to have it runned down by the social media culture. I've heard people use the word LOL and hashtag in real life, that's so depressing to hear.
BTF I like, even though there's tons of drama here, I still feel like a human being surfing through this website. On Facebook, everyone worries too much about how their picture looks and how they should edit it to make it look better or what they typed and how they typed it so that they can give give a certain impression in the online community. Facebook spawned a generation that is more worried about how they are perceived online rather then the important stuff going out there in the real world. Now a lot of people are going to say Facebook creates awareness, true I guess but from what I've seen the only awareness Facebook creates is that "like" button, it ain't going to do shit beyond that for 99% of the issues going on.
My biggest pet peeve of Facebook is that it shows too much information about a person, too many people are wreckless with this website. For example, some people update their statuses daily and they update it with random useless information in hopes to get more likes, the first thing I think when it pops up on my feed is that this individual is wierd. He/She is desperate for attention and they'll say and do anything to get it. Inside you start feeling bad for this person or he/she is a going through some hard times and is submerging themselves into this virtual world to run away from those problems. That kinda shit will hurt your social networking more then help it. But even if that person is completely normal and is just updating the rest of us on whats going on in their life, its mad annoying when you dont know them on a personal level. I don't care how many times you've gone to the gym this week or how many times you plan on picking your ass today.
But maybe its just me. I seem to get all the social satisfaction I need in real life, I'm sure all of you can too

What's so bad about him? Maybe I'm missing something, but he's just re-posting a bunch of images from the internetz and pretending to be sympathetic to teenage girl problems to gain likes. As it is, half of facebook already does the former and plenty of brands/youtube celebrities/Facebook pages try to sell their "products" for likes as well. Yeah, he may throw in the random cancer patient photo for likes or he may be publicizing it because he finds it inspiring. It's his page, no one is forcing anyone to read it or like it. But maybe I'm missing something...J Wong said:

I might have misread your post but the petition isn't mine I just found it, and yeah, a lot of the reasons are ridiculous the one that I agree with is the utilizing cancer patients/abuse victims to generate likes and traffic to his page which in turn generates him revenue.Sue Sylvester said:
So TRUE!! I think that's an issue especially for our future children to come - everything is so laid back and times have def. changed.razorhedge said:
