It need more of this and people telling you about how there are some new scary breed of spiders from the deepest jungles of south america that seek refuge under your toilet seat and patiently wait to bite you in the arse. Once bitten death is instantaneous... Seriously, fact check your stupid statements people!
 
I'm really not a deeply unhappy or angry person, but facebook makes me a maniac. I've actually threatened my wall with "posting anything that pisses me off in light of *whatever the political even du jour was* will result in me unfriending you and the person closest to you in the alphabet". And I did that.

Not proud of it, but people on facebook are infuriating.

Facebook is a very strange beast. You'd think that with the usual anonymity of the internet gone people would be less odious, but it seems the opposite. I'm friends with people on there that in real life are perfectly fine to be around, but on FB they are insufferable. I seriously cbf reading a stream someone's opinion on religion and politics. When you start doing that you get the axe, I don't care if you're family.
 
People on Facebook are also expert political analysts and have all the answers to gun control and any economic concerns.

No, sharing a photo will not help advance your cause. Posting an uninformed status about something you think you feel strongly about won't either.

I'm pretty sure the name needs to get changed to "Soapbox" before too long.
 
America needs LESS FB. And by less I mean none. That would solve your problem, Creamy.
 
I'm 28 years old and I'm done with Facebook. When it first came out and was limited to college, it was great. Once they opened it up to everyone it went downhill quickly. My mom was actually offended when I declined her friend request - I'm not censoring all that stuff to avoid offending my mom.

Went on Facebook today and saw the following: Numerous baby pictures of which I'd estimate 75% are either unfortunate looking or unfortunately named, numerous animal adoption posts, several far left and far right political rants from people whose parents still pay for their cell phones (deleted them as friends today), and several sepia-toned overexposed pictures of meals that women seem to love to take and upload, but I would never eat.

Haha! An old friend of mine posted her baby asking if we would vote for him as the country's most beautiful baby. I think it was for Gerber or something. Dude... she HAS to think its the most beautiful baby... but no one else will. I cant bring myself to lie that obviously.
 
America needs more chain letters.

Like this and re-post it on your wall, and I'll send you a hand-knit gew-gaw .... and I don't even know how to knit!!

(also, dude, just vote for the dang baby. they all look like drowned aliens, her's isn't any worse than any of the others, is it?)
 
*On Facebook, you are friends with people you know, but dislike.

*On Twitter, you follow people you don't necessarily know, but admire.

America needs LESS lawyers, whiners/complainers, fat people, stupid people, lazy people, ridiculous people, money & power ...not necessarily in that order.

I can understand the ugly baby pictures to a certain degree - there is no way to really avoid having one. I definitely have ugly beer syndrome. It's difficult to admit that sometimes I'll make a beer that misses the mark.

The unfortunate names though are what drive me nuts. I was in the grocery store a few weeks ago with my wife, two young children ran by us followed a few moments by their mother.

"Marley! Grayson! Come back here!"

Me to my wife: "One is a dog's name and the other is what you would name an apartment complex."
 
You have the unfortunate names for children and then you have the "I'm going to make up a new way to spell this" names.

The most recent I have seen is Jaxon... I guess Jackson was too dated so they have to put an X in there to give it some edge.
 
Yeah I dont care if you name your kid Moon-Unit... just spell it correctly. No more Genifurs or Airicks please!
 
Let me see if I can find one:

"Lemon white wine tilapia, garlic parmesan fingerlings, teriyaki shrimp, and apple cider kale.

I'm sure it's great but who really cares?
 
I think this is one of the rare times we disagree, Darwin ;)... I could look at, talk about, make and consume food every minute of every day.
 
Here are some more Creamy - These seem to be a daily thing:

Cows don't eat meat.

If I eat a vegan that counts for something right?

Nope I´ve tried to pull that to my doctor... but no. I share your idea, if a cow it grass and I eat the cow somehow I´m having grass too, I call that my salad, my doctor disagrees
 
Just remind him that he should have a more open mind and that there are more old meat eaters in this world than there are old vegetarian dr's

Don't worry, there will be plenty of 'internet folk' available to straighten her out. You won't have to say anything yourself.

Just be there to console her when she reads all the horrible things that will be said about her child online.;)
 
My wife started posting the food pics. I don't want everyone seeing everything we cook. Although, if they notice, she only posts food pics when she cooks, so by counting her food pics you can see she's only cooked 3 or 4 times in the past month. If it was me posting what I cooked it would just be pizza rolls and frozen pizza.
