At any rate, I came across a facebook harangue that we should not only read, but preach it like it were the fucking Sermon on the Mount! I'm taking the liberty of including some of the sharper complaints, a link to the whole story, as well as a few choice ones of my very own. Enjoy and discuss! More important, READ AND ADHERE!!
1. What's the difference between "News feed" and "Live feed"? And why can't Facebook remember which I prefer? And could we just call it what it really is: facelift
2. Obvious celebrity marketing ploys. Why it's annoying: Celebrities love Facebook -- or so it would seem. But all too often, it's someone writing on their behalf (and often poorly). That doesn't stop avid fans from falling over themselves to 'like' every comment and chime in as though they are actually having a conversation with the celebrity.
In my opinion, the a-list celeb, comedian, or writer is probably
not going to respond from their dumbass Twitterberry (sex act?) nonetheless message you and say how utterly grateful they are that you have a keyboard and high speed connection.
3. (And this is my own) They incredibly lazy, uncreative drudges who simply right "is" in their status updates. It's neither witty or pensive so you're better off just playing Mafia wars, Farmville, or some other pointless shit with which to distract you from your miserable, drab workplace.
4. (And this is my own) Unless you're actually a student of politics, have worked on campaigns, hold degrees in politics or journalism, or actually contribute to the political discussion by writing and/or contributing to a viable, legitimate online news source (and commenting on some lame ass blog doesn't count), I could care less about your stance on health care reform. If there's anything worse than a fundamentally wrong, poorly argued position that's laced with fallacies and unsubstantiated facts and substantive quotes, it's having to endure some dilettante pontificate on matters about which they no little if anything. Oh, and inputing a search term into Wikepedia doesn't make you fucking Henry Clay, Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Paul Krugman, John Stuart Mill, Noam Chomsky, or Milton Friedman. I realize that echelon may seem helter-skelter, and that some of these political minds are rather douchey, but they are MINDS. And you really cannot do this when you're playing Farmville or tagging a picture of your dumbass in a bikini in front of a mirror. Doing so would make you a mirror skank, not a politico.
