Spin: Your Facebook is (probably) absolutely worth deleting

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

Your first argument doesn't exactly apply to this situation because anonymity completely changes the dynamic. No one knows who you are on here whereas everyone knows you by name and photo and facebook.

yeah, anonymity makes it easier to be demonic because you don't have a real face. i'd say content on facebook, where you can see faces and know names and locations, can be and is less demonic than on a forum where you don't know names, can't see faces, and you can practically say anything you want. forums give you more of a free space to roam but the byproduct of that is more "demonic" activity because there's little sense of personal attachment or personal reputation at stake...

you're basically affirming my argument by saying forums make you anonymous...

The thing is, with forums, yeah you get the freedom to say whatever you want and remain anonymous, but with Facebook, seeing people that you have known for years talk the same kinda ignorant nonsense (the same kind that you may see on forums) kind of makes you see said person in a different light.

Not really. Demons here don't last long before they are exposed for being that way. The worst of demons get neg repped into oblivion and all of their threads are one starred, making it easy to identify them as being from Hell.

Anyways, the focal point isn't really whether or not facebook is demonic. The point is that it's a waste of your life. The coli might be a waste of your life as well, but at least you're being entertained on here whereas facebook is never really entertaining because people are too shook to say what they feel.

I see you reaching for straws because you're too psychologically weak to wean off your need for FB. It's ok. I ain't mad at ya.

One day you'll see

nikkas need to exercise control. I deactivated mine 2 months ago. But that doesnt mean that facebook isnt a very good site. Marketing wise and even just elevating your social status facebook is very useful. You just gotta kno how to use it right.


In essence like phourtay said, there is not much of a difference between here and there. Nobody is stopping ya'll from being 100% gully and real on facebook. Shiiit I know I was when I used to be on that site lol.


Alot of people live their lives on facebook. You can seriously use shyt like that to your advantage. Wheter its financially or socially. Yall Should read the 48 laws of power. It will open you up to the massive potential that lies within these social networks.


Edit: For example post a OD dope status or quote on FB and that shyt will forever be embedded in that dime chicks mind you been feeling. So when you see her in person on campus or at work, she will associate that feeling of knowledge and importance to you off gp. Yall sleeping man

It makes you look at people like " damn, you a bussa" or "this clown smokes his life away and still gangbangs". I hardly comment period on mine, just read and observe.

If everyone on Facebook besides businesses should their facebooks, then why would the businesses still be on Facebook

lmao, demonic activity is celebrated here and considered entertainment. this place circulates ignorance at high levels and you're going to argue that facebook is worse? i mean, look at the first page of the locker room. you've got threads about posting on the coli while you're taking a shyt, threads asking why their are so many escorts and prostitutes in the bay area. i've never seen any bullshyt like that on my facebook feed.

honestly, this isn't even a discussion imho. because you're just bent on trying to justify your personal, subjective feelings about facebook while i've taken every argument you've had and shown you how forums are worse. you could say that i'm "too pyschologically weak" to get rid of my facebook but in reality i use it promote gigs, hear about other gigs and to stay connected to a lot of individuals i know from other places that don't talk about how they have babies and that don't take diva pictures in the mirror and talk nonsense. and when i do see someone slipping into that realm, i have the personal power to get them off my list rather than relying on a moderator's personal judgment on whether or not this person is annoying enough to warrant expulsion...

85% of the posters on this board are antisocial and paranoid and all that jazz though, so Facebook isn't really for you guys anyway

This post was written for the coli, and I doubt it'll ever go further than that. That's why it doesn't matter if I'm telling everyone not to read it because most people won't hear me tho

yeah, but you can get rid of them and delete them off your friend's list. you don't have to see that. that's what i'm having a hard time understanding about your arguments. if you guys have people like this on your friend's list, it's more of an indication of who you friend and not an indication of the site's abilities...

Well there you have it. You have a good reason to stay with it. Most people don't share your kind of reasons.

We can agree to disagree, but I'm just saying that my life has been better without facebook and I know it will be the same for many others.

Deactivated mine 'bout half a year ago. It was just boring and useless to me. I don't know if I think it's evil, but it's just one less company that I'm 'a part of' that's selling my personal info to advertisers so that's a pro.

Regardless of the lack of anonymity, people on facebook still seem to have no filter. And after awhile constantly being inundated with stupidity gets annoying.

Never had or wanted one

Exactly. Most of the stupidity there really isn't funny, it's just annoying. Stupidity here is actually very, very funny.

Take for example this thread. If you read towards the last couple of pages you'll laugh your ass off
