<div>I should probably ditch Veitchy, but I do get a lot of fun out of posting against some of the idiots who comment there (of which some are probably members here!).</div>
 
Anyway, am I the only one who really think it's gone to shit?

haha yeah I follow his page too, and yep there are some nutbars on there, you no doubt :)
 
I've already unfollowed a bunch of shit cos they turned un-funny, went all political or just clog up my feed with more inane shit than I can bear!
 
I dunno if I'd say its gone to shit, I'd say its more people that are fucked up, the younger generation of people are narcicissic and needy...post images (granted some of the ones of chicks are hot as) and wait for everyone to say 'you look stunning hun' 'wow, beautiful' 'georgeous' and then the 'thanks guys' 'oh thanks' or then there are these ones:

Memes and funny shit are what make it nowadays. If it weren't for them I woulda given up long ago.

I don't even post in FB as explained above but get tagged in others posts and then shit coz I'm on farcebook but ignoring x's requests to be their buddy. FFS get a fucking life. 
I'm old enough to discriminate against who I interact with and if that doesn't include you by all means take it personally coz it probably means I think ur a fucktard although I cud just be lazy but get fucking over it! 
Coz being a whiney little bitch is really going to alter my opinion 
One of the (few) positives about getting old is not having to justify ignoring oxygen thieves.

oh so thats why you ignored my request! I dont feel so bad now! :)

Nah I made a special effort to blank yr existence out of my consciousness.

We were out fishing and a mate came over to see if I had some pliers to remove a jig hook from his hand, I didn't do he went another mates boat and he said no but called him back so he could get a photo of the book for his Facebook page . I heard they were all arguing like teenage girls on Facebook over who caught the biggest/most fish etc saying shit they would never say to each other's faces. It was pretty much then I decided it wasn't for me.

taniwharugby

ha yeah thats the thing, I will only post somethign I would say to the person, often I think of somethign I think is hilarious, type it in, check my spelling and then think, nah its not that funny or they (or one of thier friends) will take it the wrong way and dont post it.
 
I think one page I liked that had some great stuff was NZ Bloke, then all of a sudden they started posting very left wing shit with opinions every day so I unfollowed them

Ã'm surprised you've even heard of facebook. My grandparents certainly don't have an account.
 
Good swearing in the above though. The Samuel L Jackson award for 2016 has an early contender.

this right here is what FB is about...it helps with shit to put in the awesome stuff on internet thread!

I have a fb log in and can count pn the fingers of one hand how many times Ive posted in the last 2 years. Using both hands I can count how many times I've bothered to look. 
I get the shits with people on it all day every day posting crap. 
The problem i have is how many people use it as their principal means of communication and expect everybody else does too. 
As an example our rugby club president used to use it to publicise stuff by posting on our club account. No issue with that. But if that is the ONLY way you're getting the message out that goes to what? 30 people? When we have 200 on our email list? Well then we are limiting ourselves. 
Nobody turned up to your working bee? Who knew about it? Well i put it on fb... so that would be the demographic that traditionally attends working bees ... all 30 of them. 
It goes further than that but that is an example. 
Will admit to have used it a couple of times in the past week with miss boo jr off at Girl Guide jamboree. But that is another example of communication by facebook when a group email would serve a better purpose. But i won't whinge about that now. :) 
BTW Mrs Boo have never had fb.

No Quarter

Yeah, my wife is studying and she joined the student association so that she would be kept up to date with events and speakers etc, expecting they would be emailing the details. But what do they do? Put everything on Facebook. Except she shuts her Facebook account down while studying as it is an unnecessary distraction. So she misses out on events and speakers that she would have loved to attend :bang_head1:

Hooroo

I facebook up a storm and probably annoy a lot but they can just chop me.
 
I like it for ideas at times but hate motivational stuff. That's just rubbish.
 
I like seeing what people have for dinner too or where they are dining out as it gives me ideas to cook and places to avoid or go to.
 
I'm pretty much everything you whiners dislike about facebook apart from motivating stuff!
