Some quitting Facebook as privacy concerns escalate

[Scotty]

If Leo LaPorte has to google how to delete his account, there is a problem.

Try typing delete into google, by the time you hit "dele", delete google profile will show up as number two in the suggestions list!

Hell yeah. I quite face book a long time ago. I wish there was an alliterative.

Yay! I hate Facebook. I hate that everyone I talk to tells me to join it. And I don't want to join it specifically for privacy reasons. It's also kind of annoying because it's yet another thing that you have to sign up for so people can be in touch with you. We have cell phones, email, now people need to be able to text me and message me on facebook. Well guess what? I don't want to pay for texting, and I don't want to sign up for Facebook. Call me, or email me if you need to tell me something...

My sister was raging about this, she deleted her account. I don't have to worry about it, they booted me off ages ago for some retarded reason, and I never bothered to make a new account.

Facebook is just one big handjob to everyone that uses it. Everyone goes on updates their status !@#$ing 40 times a day and takes a billion quizzes that make them feel like people give a shit. LIES!
Status: Taking a shit.
Status: Leaving the bathroom.
Status: Shit, I forgot to flush.
Status: Flushed.
Status: Walking back to my couch.
Status: Sitting down.
I have never used facebook but why would I need a website to talk to people that live right near me. Seriously the most useless shit ever made.

Okay - let's hate on something you obviously know nothing about.

Yeah, I got a FaceBook, I check it once or twice a day. It's absolutely perfect for keeping track of school events and friends. I use it all the time to keep in touch with friends, especially those who have moved away.

If you are pissed about people updating constantly, that's THEIR fault, not FaceBook's. You are an idiot if you constantly do that, and to call FaceBook useless because of that is ridiculous.

And your little "why would I need a website to talk to people that live right near me"... that is the stupidest reason yet. Have you ever used a phone? I'm pretty sure you have. WHY would you use a phone to call someone who lives right near you? Are you crazy?! Also, have you heard of this thing called the "internet"? Man, it has these bogus communication websites and programs - obviously worthless because I can just go talk to the person in person, because that is so much more convenient when I need to relay something to them right away!


...Phew. Sorry, I'm just really tired of people bashing and ranting against something without any logical or meaningful basis.

That sounds more like a problem with the type of people you associate with.  WHOOPS!

Aw darn, and here I was expecting Facebook to come forward and replay to that IM convo by saying:

"DAMN RIGHT BITCHES!  WE'RE OUT TO !@#$ EVERY LAST ONE OF YA!!!  GOTCHYA ALL GOOD DIDN'T WE!?!"

And I here I thought I was the only one who would randomly search for chick's profiles, download their pictures, then obsess over them by photoshop'ing them into hot women with large breasts and perfect hourglass bodies, then printing them out, cutting out the image, and covering my walls with them.  It's kinda funny when I actually walk by said women on the street and greet them with a "Hi!  I stare at your photos on my walls all the time!  Might I suggest some surgical changes to perfect your otherwise mediocre figure?"
