Facebook exists because of and entirely relies upon the ego's of all the people that are gullible enough to put their entire lives out there for all to see. The corporations that extrapolate this information will use it to squeeze out as much money from those people as possible, and that is the sole purpose of the ones that oversee it.

There are some good uses for it though. Not many but some.

Based on your writings, Oxy, you seem to like to provoke people? Sadly, your posts are rather silly

Oxy

Your opinion is as valid as anyone's Taxman, full respect to you.

What I do is stimulate debate about things we often don't give much thought to. Issues that concern people. Things that, perhaps need some alternative view?

What would be silly is if a major 'celebrity' (say David Beckham or someone like that) walked down the street with a pile of cabbage on his head, then within a few days there would be a million people doing the same.

So, to be honest, its about being slightly 'detached' and not so easily 'led'.

Which is what Face(less)Book doesn't like.

So Oxy, how long did you use Facebook for?

I will be totally honest with you, I had a FB account like many people did, because I thought it would help to grow my business, and be an extra 'tool' in that respect.

Probably after about a year I noticed that there were so many more negatives than positives with this. Pretty soon after that I knew for certain that Facebook was, and remains, at best a childish institution, and at worst, something that can haunt and create havoc in the professional and social lives of otherwise sensible and mature individuals.

If I could give just one small slice of advice to anyone reading this, it would be to dump Face(less)Book now, or at the very least, use it with great care.

You don't need to share your life with total strangers.

I accumulate "likes" I sometimes accumulate comments too
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being
(Facebook)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge
There will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it

I update when I want except on Saturdays when I get rudely awakened by angry people wanting to know why I peed in their closet on Friday night.
I cry for an hour, turn off my cellphone, and think about never leaving the house.


Edit: That was brilliant BTW.

I get all my scientific data and political information from Facebook. It's the best way.
