<p>If you don't really know the person, or even if you knew him/her, what would you think of that person if they dont have a facebook?</p>
<p>What a loser! He doesn’t have a Facebook!</p>
<p>Lynch him!</p>
<p>you have 0 friends</p>
<p>No it doesn’t mean that. I don’t have a Facebook. I didn’t want it in high school because too many people got addicted to it and didn’t get their homework done, and I didn’t want that to be me. You can still have friends, but just communicate through email, phone, texting, etc.</p>
<p>Without knowing you personally, I would put you into the “defiant teenagers” category. </p>
<p>If I did know you personally, I might be disappointed that you don’t use Facebook because I coordinate most of my social life on there.</p>
<p>That you actually have a life, that doesn’t revolve around fb</p>
<p>I would think that person was weird, or uselessly defiant. There’s no benefit to not having a Facebook.</p>
<p>First of all, I don’t think anyone should be judging anyone. Because quite frankly, insults can come from both ways. FB users could say that “we’re losers or have no friends” and we could say “FB users are losers because they spend 24/7 on FB and have no sense of reality.” This isn’t how I feel, but these are some of the attacks I’ve seen on both groups. </p>
<p>Now onto the question. I don’t have Facebook; haven’t had it for 7 months now. It hasn’t affected my life and I was getting nothing out of it. However, I feel that some of Facebook users don’t have a sense of reality. I feel that some users are so thirsty to say that they have “friends” that they’ll add/accept hundreds of friend requests just to feel good about themselves. It’s as if they validate themselves based off the number of “friends” they have on Facebook, and it’s quite sad actually. I’m not going to get into my reasons for leaving Facebook or the definition of what a “friend” is, so I’m going to cut this short here.</p>
<p>Short and sweet, I’ve seen people say “don’t overthink it…it’s just a social networking site…don’t take it so serious.” Well my response is, okay. If it’s not so serious, what’s the problem with me not having one? There shouldn’t be an issue if it’s “not so serious.”</p>
<p>As for the people who use the “number game” in friends (i.e. saying “they have no friends”), it’s obvious that you’re insecure with yourself and feel that you need to bring others down to make yourself believe that you have “hundreds of friends.” I’m very secure with myself and the lovely and amazing friends that I have that I don’t need to boast about it. It’s what it’s.</p>

<p>And in the same post, no less!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t really judge them, but I would think it was kind of odd, considering people without a Facebook in college tend to be in the minority. I would also realize that they might be harder to reach than most people, so my chances of getting to know them well would probably not be that great (not because I dislike them, but because I organize a lot of my social life through Facebook and them not having it does make it harder).</p>
<p>If they were like the most awesome person ever though I might go out of my way to try to get to know them.</p>
<p>@theReach: Typical. You take both quotes out of context and then try to play the “you contradict yoself!1111” Anyone with sense who reads my entire post without getting defensive would see what I mean. No less!</p>
<p>That person is awesome</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well if I didn’t know them, I couldn’t care less if they have facebook or not, as I do not know them…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If I already knew them, that would imply I have established some form of communication with them already, therefore FB is just another added means of communication but not necessary, so I would horray their independence, realize that they made a personal choice that doesn’t effect me in any way, so I’ll probably eat a sammich for all the world I couldn’t care less and babies…400 babies.</p>
<p>Interesting responses. I can see both sides. But I just wonder why are some people so lazy to communicate via other options (text cell etc)? Not to single you otu RoxSox but you said you wouldn’t most likely put in the effort to get to know them, but what’s so hard with getting their phone number and texting them? Please don’t take offense. I’m not trying to come at you funny but just curious.</p>
<p>To answer my own post, I use Facebook but I use it with moderation. I’m not on it all day but it’s a nice to tool. I wouldn’t go as far to call people without “losers” or “friendless.” I mean, the world doesn’t revolve around Facebook. If Facebook said so much about people why didn’t it tell us enough about the Jewish guy that slaughtered that boy or the Norway terrorist? Both of them had Facebook…Just goes to show, you have weirdos on Facebook and weirdos without Facebook. Having it or not having it doesn’t say anything about you.</p>
<p>Just my two dollars.</p>
<p>I don’t get it, plain and simply. If you’re a high school/college student, I don’t see the reason for you to not have one. The thing is, in today’s world, you’re not going to come across someone who has never heard of Facebook. Everyone you meet falls into one of two categories: Either they choose to have facebook or they choose to not have it. There isn’t a middle ground where someone hasn’t even thought about possibly having a facebook account.</p>
<p>I don’t judge people who don’t have Facebooks, but I don’t understand their reasoning for not having one. They can be quite useful and you don’t have to sink a lot of time and energy into it. I have plenty of friends who have profiles, but never upload pictures or statuses and really don’t get on very often. However, if I need to contact them, the best way is through Facebook and it’s just convenient.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, my boyfriend doesn’t have Facebook. He says he doesn’t find a need for it, but I can tell you that he’s missed out on numerous notes being passed around for different, important events because he isn’t ‘connected’. I mean, whenever we had band stuff in high school, we always got the word out through Facebook message. If our band director was sick, he’d call the Band President and have him shoot out the info that there wouldn’t be 7 AM jazz band the next morning. Those without facebook would arrive at school an hour and 10 minutes early without any way of getting into the building.</p>
<p>^well that’s what EMAIL is for</p>
<p>That person is awesome</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So much judgment coming from this post. Explain yourself in context then.</p>
<p>^I think you could put two and two together, bro. Let’s go read over the post slowly one more time and I think it’ll come to you. Just let it all sink in. You’ll get it (hopefully…and eventually).</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>E-Fight! Everyone grab some popcorn and smash your F5 key continuously cause this might get intense!</p>
