WilliamC Hates Facebook Yet Has Created an Account

[zHorns]

I have about 1,400 avid Ron Paul supporters as friends I try to provide content to their feeds everyday without exception. I'm here if you need daily updates on events.......

I've thought about getting rid of my Facebook. I really should.

Do it. Along with your television and video games.

These are like fluoride for your brain, they rot your attention span and ability to critically think and reason.

And yes I'm 48 and old and behind the times and my children will not think this way.

Such is life, we are born, we grow up, we live, we grow old, then we die.

I still hate facebook.

To WilliamC and others:

Run a psyop (influence, persuade, challenge) on darpa's facebook, use the oppositions infrastructure to your advantage. These are common jungle tactics, be like a jungle fighter.

Am interested in spamming the sh!teating data collection agencies if I can do so anonymously.

I'll tell ya'll why I hate facebook, I was just reminded right now.

I actually had made a facebook page back in 2007 for keeping in touch with Ron Paul folk. It's still there. It has crap on it from friends I made during the last campaign. Including 'friend requests' and such I never replied to (not because I don't like these people, but because I hate facebook and the information it generates).

Included was a request from a young lady whom I'd forgotten. Suffice it to say for me she is one of those people who quite literally almost make my heart stop, but she is much too young for me to consider so I can never even let my emotions surface.

We Fives on the enneagram, especially Five with Four Wings like me, are actually incredibly emotional people even though the vast majority of those we interact would never suspect it because we not only do not wear our emotions outwardly but we often have to actively suppress them to keep them from disrupting our rational minds, which we value above all else as Fives.

Sort of like Spock in Star Trek to use the most illuminating TV trope out there.

So anyway here I am trying to figure out this facebook crap and how to minimize my exposure to the whole pile when what do I see but this young ladies picture and the fact she has requested to 'friend' her.

I simply don't need that kind of distraction, and that's all facebook is is a giant distraction trap. I guess I consider my friends and allies as private things, not public things, and I don't want to share them for just anyone to see.

That's crazy talk.

And my heart did near stop again for a while as I was drawn into recollection of emotions past.

Someone send me a facebook message so I'll know what it looks like.

Please.

There is a message button next to the friends button

 

[WilliamC]

I am starting to see it now, at first it wasn't there.

Ok, I hate facebook as to me it represents the ultimate invasion of privacy. Yes it is irrational and I'll work on it but for now I hate facebook.

... After that I'll cancel my account.

It is the ultimate invasion of privacy.

It is not irrational.

You can never delete your account, only deactivate it. After you deactivate your account, you can log in anytime and re-activate it and your information will still be there.

Some people might have it set up where you can't message them unless you friend them.

There is a way to permanently delete your account, but if you log in during a 14 day period it cancels the deletion.

Thanks, I will be using this.

Of course any information you generate will be saved, it's not going away.

But it won't be publicaly accessible anymore.

The main thing for me is I will only use facebook to meet people.

If you want to actually communicate though I'm sticking to email, phone or in person.

I hate facebook.

 

[ns1000]

Make sure that you delete your cookies after logging out facebook, else they can follow everywhere there is a facebook widget, for instance the like button on top of every topic in RPF!

I personally use a different browser to use facebook. However facebook isn't the only one doing it, google is just as bad.

Anyhow, don't be discouraged by the number of apathetic people who don't respond to your knowledge bombs, videos, articles, etc. I sometimes think "this article headline will wake people up" and excitedly post it. Then........crickets. It can be discouraging sometimes.

I mostly get crickets, then I'll talk to someone IRL and I start to talk about something, and they say "Oh yeah, I read that article you posted." Just because they don't respond doesn't mean they aren't reading - so keep posting! I think maybe some folks just don't want to admit it online because of the circles they run in or something..

( $10 says WilliamC is addicted to Farmville in a week! Hey bro, could you send me a bushel of corn? )

There you go again...

Next thing you know I'll get hit with Angry Birds or something.

So, WilliamC...How do you feel about Twitter?

 

[Massachusetts]

I'm deleting my Facebook today. I'm gonna shove all my photos I've been tagged in or uploaded into a folder on my computer, and just leave it there, and delete the nonsensical Facebook. If somebody is my friend and wants to contact me, they'll know how.

But I created an account to get in touch with Ron Paul folks in Mississippi and now I have a simple question.

Can I send messages to someone without making them my 'friend'?

I'm not interested in using facebook to be friends with with anyone, I just want to communicate with people to help Ron Paul get elected. After that I'll cancel my account.

I hate facebook.

Even on his last day on earth he was trying to help the campaign. William was a good one.

Rest in peace, William.
