Is it me getting old and cantankerous or is most of the stuff posted on Facebook total horse shit. The retirees from the fire department have a Facebook page which is pretty cool. The problem comes in when somebody want to be your "friend".

It seems like we have become a society that has to share every minute of every day with everybody. To be honest I couldn't care less that you went to the mall with your kid and had a hotdog. I am not interested that you were stuck in a waiting room and spilled coffee on your shirt. I'm telling you some of the dung that I see on some of these peoples FB page makes me lose all respect for them.

At the risk of pissing some people off I will just get it out there....The absolute worse seems to be stay at home moms. It seems like they are constantly complaining about how rough it is to raise kids and they have to make sure their husbands know how fortunate to have them around. Some of the bullshit they post on their FB pages make me want to puke. They sound so shallow and bored that they post every effin' detail of their kids day. Try doing what a lot of my friends do, the husbands work two jobs, the wife has a professional full time job and they are doing a damn fine job of raising three children.

Man oh man the older I get the better I like the movie "Idiocracy"

No Facebook or any other social media for me.

No time for it and I don't want my privacy compromised, as much as I can do anything about it.

My family chastises me "you are missing out on some great family photos."
No doubt. But they always send me the best ones on e-mail anyway.

My upcoming class reunion (50th)is being discussed via a Facebook account.
No doubt I am missing some good stuff.
But I'll know what I need to know to attend, by e-mail and snail mail.

I recommend you remove all of your current Facebook friends and then send a bunch of female porn stars a friend request. The "In n out" of their day will be much more interesting to you.

You can be friends with someone on Facebook while blocking their content....I do it for about 1/3 of my friends for a variety of reasons: Some people post too often...some people constantly preach opinions I dont agree with...and the worst are people who use Facebook as a "group therapy" tool where they whine about their unhappiness and over-dramatize small problems they experience.

I still like all these people (esp the hot lady ones) - I just dont want to hear from them everyday. And Facebook accomodates me perfectly. I can look at their hot pictures and hit the mute button on their yapper !

The problem is not with Facebook, it is with the people you are friending on Facebook. Unfriend them. Problem solved.

I never had any interest in FB until one month ago when they opened the retirees page. I worked with some of these people for over 30 years and I certainly want to know how they are doing.

I find it humorous that I have nieces and nephews I haven't heard from in 20 years but they found out I'm on FB and they want to be my "friend". Whatever happened to a good old conversation.

I am going to check into PJ's idea and try that blocking content.

Do I have one? Yes. Do I go often? No. My two cents: How does anyone get ANYTHING DONE, when all they do is post mostly-meaningless drivel on their Facebook page? I am with you. I don't care that you ate a cheese sandwich at 11:33a while driving through the Starbucks to get your beverage of choice (I can't say what it is, because I don't know what they have. Me, I drink coffee.)
