I used to really enjoy this topic before it was lost in the Lesser Forum Migration of October 2012, so I’m bringing it back.

Attracting my ire this evening is the chap who’s just messaged me to say that he’s an hour into the non-existent 2011 Conan the Barbarian remake, and who wants to know whether he should bother watching the end of it. Double ewe. Tea. Eff.

Dunno if I'm understanding this thread correctly but a guy just messaged me saying that his dog has cancer

FUCK FUCKING CUNTING FACEBOOK!!!

My Facebook is full of depressed Arsenal and Villa fans.



It will be full of depressed Liverpool fans tomorrow.

Mine is full of either:

"can't wait to get back to uni, I hate this town"

Another fucking group picture before/during/after drinking.
Ur all just sat on a sofa, no one gives a fuck.

"here's a picture of a puppy being saved by a man with cancer who used to a royal marine who gives money to charity,
Like to show support, ignore of you have no soul and hate puppies."

"feel free to egg this house (with full address)"

Facebook = attention whores.

Nah, Facebook is just a tool. It's your friends who are attention whores.

What happened to the other thread?

Gone with the change over. At least one other's gone too.

When we swapped server?

Facebook is full of poppies and soldiers this morning, and while I completely respect the sentiment, I can't help but feel it's a lazy way for people to remember. Or even worse, with some people I get the sense that it's just posting to get more "likes" than usual. I wonder, of the many people who put those pictures up, just how many actually bothered to observe the two minute silence.

Those people are heroes, defying the Muslim scourge, "they" want us to stop wearing our poppies.

Especially this cunt!

Actually, "The Thread where Infant Gets Banned" was a Facebook friends one at first. Majik Story.

As for the other, fook knows.

Who was typing during the silence?

That was all ready to go at least five minutes before the silence, so nerr.

True, but at least I don't talk or have to meet them in the real world

Then why have them, unless you're one of those attention seeking whores who like to bump up their friends numbers?

Facebook is ace if you use it as a tool for organising stuff from gigs to meeting friends etc. as well as the other ways you use it. It's incredible that a lot of the stuff it introduced is now taken for granted.

deleted my account, i only have two real friends that i can just ring or text.

i don't need it.

use it for your unreal friends then,dont understand the obsession with only having real life people you know,my favourite interactions are with people i have never meet,then it becomes a prefect medium

I absolutely agree with this. If I might quote my own current Facebook status: “This week Facebook has been doing for Remembrance Sunday what the EDL have done for St. George’s Cross.”

I should probably confess that I missed the silence completely because I was in the cinema watching Skyfall. I do my “remembering” elsewhere.
