I do not know why I even bothered, I just joined out of curiosity and even joined twitter, seems its made for people who have large amounts of friends or for those who likes to chat and share stuff.

That's the general idea behind social networking I see then I need to make friends who have similar interests in similar categories like games etc. and eventually start accepting requests and stuff right?

Its for people to keep and eye on other peoples lives to then judge what they are doing such as their success and how they look. Its also for people to "share" what they are up to, as in and these are taken from my facebook list thingy "Why does Otis love to eat paper ?!" , "Baking brownies !", "Ps. Told ya it'd be snowing in February!" "5 minutes ago we were driving in warm, bright sunshine. Now we're in a mini blizzard, windy, snowy, foggy!" why do we need to know any of that stuff. More importantly, why is it deemed not normal to not like saying stuff like that. I remember the days of people saying "the saddest people are ones who say they are eating a sandwhich.... now everyone posts pictures of sandwhichs etc. crazyness.

For Facebook Its generally for people whom you know personally Way to keep in contact with them, organise events, share photos etc Unless you're a girl Then its selfies, insecurity and attention
I've mostly been using it as an IM program to chat my girlfriend and to stay in touch with my parents since I live over an hour away from them and work full time.
With the amount of companies that are forcing you to log into their sites with a Facebook account and don't have a non-Facebook option it is getting annoying for us non-Facebook users and causing us to make a dummy account. Vevo is one example and if I'm not mistaken iheartradio is another. I'm just wating to see which bank will be the first one to require a Facebook login for online banking....

I use it as a glorified email to keep in touch with friends I already know in the real world (plus relatives). I never use FB to make friends with anyone I've never met in the real world.
If you don't have friends in the real world, don't bother.
I don't see the point of it at all. Somebody posts a banal little thing about themselves and then others post banal responses along the lines of "good for you!" and that sort of rubbish. Seems like it serves people who have a compulsive need to talk about themselves.
I've noticed that on other forums quite a bit. Most people generally talk about whatever subject matter the site focuses on, but then there are a few who are constantly starting topics that are just about themselves and every little opinion they have and every little thing they do. Those people belong on Facebook.

Your Facebook feed is only as dumb as you allow your friends list to be.

It is what you make it. For me it's a easy way to keep in touch with friends and family, many of whom I now live hundreds (or thousands, in some cases) of miles apart from.

Real life friends, cant delete them, and I have no idea how the hell did they found me again if I had added no one when I created the new FB.
The people who are against facebook are the same kind of people who are against owning a television. What they forget is that they're being selfish in having that mindset. It's not about whether or not you want to watch TV, it's about entertaining your guests who might like watching TV. Therefore, you should own a TV just in case someone comes over who enjoys watching TV. Not having a TV makes you both weird and selfish. The same goes for Facebook. If you don't want to have a Facebook, you're cutting off a form of contact for your family and friends to talk to you. You may think that by not having a Facebook you're setting yourself apart from the crowd and not giving in to mainstream society or whatever, but what you're actually doing is being selfish by purposefully alienating yourself from people who care about you. Facebook is only bad if you allow it to be. There are privacy settings and you can just add the friends and family you talk with or see on a weekly basis if that's the way you want it to be.

Thats the most stupid argument I've ever seen People who care about you had a plethora of ways to contact you before FB existed, if they care for you, chances are they have your phone number, house address and email address.

People don't always want to talk on the phone. People go weeks at a time without checking e-mail. People often live miles and miles away and showing up at the house address is just not feasible. Fact of the matter is, not having a Facebook is cutting off a major form of contact to your friends and family and that's just a fact.
Edit: your response sounds very selfish so I wouldn't expect you to understand.

By not wanting to talk on phone, you are being selfish as f*ck, you are cutting off a major form of contact to your loved ones by doing so. See what I did there?
It is to keep track of friends and family. I like keeping in touch with friends from college and high school that have moved away, and Facebook makes that really easy. And I have a huge family, and it is nice to see pictures and know about big events in their lives, all in one convenient location.

Your selfish attitude and agitated behavior make you the perfect candidate to not have a Facebook. You're basically living proof of what I'm trying to say. Thanks for painting the clear picture.

I just cant believe you are serious, you have to be trolling to believe in such a stupid argument like "not wanting to have a facebook is selfish" while at the same time saying that "some people just dont like talking on the phone" by your logic, no one should have an opinion of his own because if its different he would be "selfish" towards others.
Shocked there are so many Facebook haters. It's probably the best way to stay in touch with people you may not see everyday or are halfway across the country.Â
