<p>Does this make me awesome?</p>
<p>Does this make me a loser?</p>
<p>Do you have a facebook?</p>
<p>If so, have you considered permanently quitting?</p>
<p>I'm actually very proud of the fact that I don't have a facebook account. Gives me bragging rights or something</p>
<p>you’re not missing much</p>
<p>Depends who you’re talking to if they think you’re awesome or a loser. I have a FB but don’t care if people do or don’t. The only thing that gets me is that last line. People who think that they’re better because they don’t have a FB…what exactly are you gonna brag about? Hundreds of thousands of people have a Facebook, it’s surely not something to be ashamed of. =|</p>
<p>^ Oh, there’s really no reason behind it. I just like to feel special. I realize it doesn’t make me a better person, but is there any harm in pretending like it does?</p>
<p>From my personal viewpoint, it just shows that you aren’t willing to use a particular tool to make communications easier.</p>
<p>As long as you aren’t addicted, Facebook can be an excellent tool for people to invite you to various events, casually message you, and catch up with each other. By not having FB, you’re just making it difficult for them to contact you.</p>
<p>I see FB abstainers as similar to those who refuse to have a cell phone. You may choose to never put much info on it, and you may choose to never log in, but having one really makes things easier for your friends. You’re unique for not having one, but not necessarily in a good way.</p>
<p>It’s just like how I established uniqueness in my high school by never going to a single social event in all four years. I thought that made me special and above everyone else. In hindsight, I was just being a stupid geek that nobody likes.</p>
<p>well, you see… there’s a pretty big difference between costs of maintaining a website profile and a cell phone…
anyways, i don’t think swedish or norwegians or brazillians will even care whether or not you have facebook</p>
<p>It doesn’t make you any better or worse. There are morons who think Facebook is the greatest accomplishment of mankind, and morons who think Facebook is the root of all evil.</p>
<p>Dude, you’re f’ing awesome.</p>
<p>I think people who think they’re cool because they don’t have a facebook are stupid. It’s not like you need to have a facebook to be cool, but to get a superiority complex over it just makes you an *******.</p>
<p>I don’t really think it makes you cool, no offense. It’s not really unique because plently of people don’t have one and they always miss out. I mean most clubs have a page on facebook and send out updates through facebook to those who join the group. Most of the times I have a party or any kind of event I make a facebook event and invite everyone want because it is easiest. Unless they are a really good friend of mine I will probably forget to invite them. I mean you never call someone who isn’t a very good friend and go “oh just letting you know I am having a party this weekend.” That would just be awkward. I mean it is a great way to communicate. You can share photos easily and links and easily notify a large amount of people of some event. It is free and takes several minutes to set up and you can have a lot of sequrity on your profile. You don’t have to put a lot of info on it and you can delete things you don’t like.</p>
<p>but one thing that isn’t on their is road trips. they are awesome in college and with friends from all over you can usually find someone with a free place to stay and then get a car full of people and split gas. or go to couchsurfers.com and met someone new.</p>
<p>“That would just be awkward.”</p>
<p>This always makes me smile; I’m pretty sure back in my parents’ days it wasn’t considered awkward to call up someone you only sort of knew inviting them to a holiday party or the like. Funny how our generation’s a fair bit different (and for the record, yes I would find it a bit more awkward to call/text someone I’m not too familiar with than to just send them a Facebook event invitation).</p>
<p>For some campus societies, facebook is nice to use especially when inviting everyone and seeing the RSVP on the events (although some people click ‘attend’ to everything even if they dont plan on showing up) instead of via email and counting who bothers to RSVP…</p>
<p>I got back in touch with some relatives who live in Japan and China… but some people I know just spend 24/7 on Facebook. It’s kind of scary. D:</p>
<p>I have a friend, a woman in her late 50’s who does not own a cell phone or a computer. To me, it just makes her rigid and out of touch with the times. My mother, 80 has a computer, facebook page and has owned a cell phone forever.</p>
<p>My 70+ year old grandmother got a facebook a couple months ago. She just uses it to look at my pictures and keep in touch, it’s not like she’s playing farmville but she thinks it’s a valuable tool for communication. The big dinner conversation at Thanksgiving was making fun of my 55 year old father for not being as “with it” as grandma.</p>
<p>^ I can relate to your father. I’m in the same position; my mom has had a facebook for years.</p>
<p>He stopped being amused when we told him that grandma was more “technologically advanced.” He’s a computer programmer. XD</p>
