Scumbags on FaceBook

[mathrisk]

I know newbies on facebook tends to click (share) on anything - and I try to ignore them at first, and if it continues I "unfollow" them.
Indian national anthem is the best declared by UN, some awesome infrastructute photo claiming to be indian, 'like' and MS/FB will donate $1, 'if I get 1M likes my dad will take me to disneyland', "some very simple puzzle and saying only genious can solve this", "some blurred photo with note - like and write 5 in the comment and see what happens" and many other hoaxes comes floating around the wall all the time.
Most of the newbies fell for these, and I don't care much.

But what irritates me is the obessesion with sharing each and every minute of their lives on facebook.
Like it has became mandatory to check in to facebook if you visit any airport or barbeque nation or costa coffee.
And posting photos of each and everything you are cooking (or eating).
(Yesterday one of my college friend posted photo of his new born baby - damn, the kid's not even cleaned properly after birth )

Okay, why am I still on facebook?

I have some creative friends, who shares their work on facebook (of course it has better reach then a blog) and I like to encourage them.
It's the only source of jokes.
There are some serious guys with serious discussions ( just like this GT. )
I like watching others travel photos. And yeah, facebook is always full of them.
Liked pages - kind of news source.
Most important - remembering birthdays.

FB can teach you a few life lessons, it taught me how to not give a f**k.
That guy will eventually learn how to discern BS on the internet, no point in letting these kind of things annoy you.

Let me start of by this

One of the idiots in my friend list actually shared this.

What is your reply to the below statement ?

It was determined that the fire was caused by the laptop resting on the bed. When the laptop was on the bed cooling fan did not get the air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire.

Never heard of laptops bursting into flames as a result of not cooling. They tend to annoyingly shut down.

Only thing i can think of to make a laptop do this is a problem with the lithium battery. How this problem can arise other than a build fault is beyond me.

FB is like in any other creation of the web; you ought to know how to use it.

I follow some very informative groups and people on FB, they are perhaps the only reason i still am on that platform.

If I didnt need facebook for a lot of things, i'd have closed the damn account.

I just look at the heading and glide over if I do not like something. I just login to FB to wish Happy Birthday to my friends and be done with it. Maybe check some pics clicked by my friends that's all. And I have some really conservative friends who do not share all forwarded shite ..

When your hide list is more than 200 people you know crap wont show up

 

[rakesh_ic]

A thread to share the FB shares? I am sorry, I dont prefer to have a mini FB here (infact a collective troll thread) and duplicate something that I am already dealing with on FB.

I use fb for a lot of things and have networked with many individuals over there. There are many well maintained groups on there too. Why blame the tool? The world is full of idiots. Same with fb.

^its because of anguish that they don't have 'cool' friends and the elitism behaviour: 'ooh m super genuis to fb n rest al r idiots'
