Subject: RE: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: sing4peace Date: 29 Sep 09 - 08:54 PM the Cube - yeah!.... The Matrix too. Here, there and everywhere. We have the choice of where we want to be. the web certainly widens the options for communicating - It's an interesting tapestry we are all weaving out here on this world wide web - each of us posting our posts, sharing our thoughts, recipes, lyrics, arguing points and political opinions, fears, needs for prayer and support. It's pretty amazing really. Community at its best. For this moment, I am very happy to be able to hang out in this big jam session with all of the posters out here. The web can also be overwhelming, demanding, disturbing, stunting, addicting, providing far more information to marketers (and other surveyors and miners of our content) than we realize. I find myself uncomfortable with my own judgmentalism as I see the kinds of things that people put up on my Facebook page or the oft time inane, inflammatory, meanspirited, ignorant comments some people will make. I gotta get a grip. Another thing I don't like about the Facebook scene is how many of my friends click that button that asks for permission to access their friends' information. It feels like a test in a psych lab where the observer wants to see how many times they can get you to give your friends' up. Training. Lab rats. Uh oh, back to the Cube.... I saw that on Television in the 1970's. It made a big impact. I think there's a re-make out on YouTube. Off to make some toast and strawberry jam, Joyce |

Subject: RE: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: Donuel Date: 29 Sep 09 - 03:23 PM gnu, What are these negative posts you mention? Everyone here is perfectly well behaved and deeply concerned about their peers, friends and even their enemies. Even the character Martin Gibson was just an invention by an otherwise well intentioned member. IF you really see something totally negative it is probably a normal human meltdown which should be forgiven or seen as a cry for help. I refuse to believe there are people here who would deliberatly cause harm or ill feeling to others. But there sure the hell are posts that are a waste of time;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: 3refs Date: 29 Sep 09 - 03:08 PM Seeing as both my oldest son and I are R****** R****, but not Jr and Sr, I used to get his crap all the time, even his e-mails from them. I'm no longer on Facebook and I still get them for! |
Subject: RE: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: gnu Date: 29 Sep 09 - 02:10 PM SharonA. You are wasting your time. And John's. You could at least scrawl a little happy face at the end of a post like that. I mean, if you would care to be polite... maybe you are not. Doesn't matter to me in the long run. Most of the time, if I find certain people are not polite or have a negative attitude, I tend to either ignore their posts or read the first, and maybe the last, sentence of their post, and hope to judge whether the post might be something I would or should read in it's entirety. Having said that, may I suggest you post your (usually) negative posts briefly so that I don't ignore them completely? Ya never know... ya might say sommat nice. >;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: Donuel Date: 29 Sep 09 - 02:06 PM Perhaps an urban legend needs to be started about how Face Book is planning to automaticly bill each member monthly for their account. Detailed instructions must be included as to how to deactivate all your bank accounts from the insidious Face Book auto payment system that will deduct $5 every month using a different payor name and address each month. but seriously I hear from people that their addiction to Facebook is quite real. If so whatever need it satisfies can be found someplace else. Its up to them to find it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 29 Sep 09 - 01:05 PM Little Hawk, I am impressed. You are so knowledgeable, and sapient with it. In 2005 I tried to cancel a Paypal account and found it next to impossible. Obviously I didn't know enough about traps and dragons, etc. Plus, a dachshund is better than a security system, or so my neighbor the cop tells me. However, a collecting of dachshunds seems like going too far. I live next door to one, and one of her is enough. Thanks to the Mudcat, when John finds himself naked in Schenectady, he will know how to spell it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Sep 09 - 12:25 PM You will have to journey across thousands of miles of harsh terrian until you reach Facebook International Headquarters. There you will find a massive fortress surrounded by armed guards and all sorts of hideous traps to prevent anyone gettng in. You must sneak or fight your way past the guards and the traps. Once inside you must find your way through a maze of corridors with more guards and traps until you reach the inner sanctum. There you must kill the Facebook Dragon and steal the glowing orb that powers all of Facebook. When you remove the glowing orb from its place, the entire Facebook reality will collapse and vanish in a great burst of white light and you will find yourself standing naked on the street in Schenectady, New York. It is then you will wish that you had left Facebook alone and gone into collecting Dachshunds instead... |

Subject: RE: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 29 Sep 09 - 11:42 AM Having (carelessly) set up a Facebook account, and having casually looked at what's there, I find no "there" there. Is there a way to close a Facebook account, closing access to my details? If there is, I want to do it. Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: BS: Is this a heaven sent opportunity? From: John MacKenzie Date: 29 Sep 09 - 10:52 AM I am unable to log on to Facebook, from either my PC or my laptop. There are two separate accounts on both machines, and neither are accessible. Is this kharma, is this my best reason so far for quitting the time wasting, intrusive, banal applictions, web site, for ever? Is there a power greater than Facebook, telling me to get out while the going is good? Or am I too addicted to Zynga Poker? JM |
