how serious do you take facebook?

[Taxman10]

Here's a conversation on a friends wall recently. Would you/do you get into arguments on your or someone's wall for the whole world to see your craziness??


the girl is definitely an interesting person.... here's an example:

(a mutual friend posted a picture of her new hair color "A") The very first comment is from CDG

Crazy Diploma Girl (CDG): while I love this, I admit you are better (looking) with your blonde. this makes you look 40ish! go back to younger colors!

Friend of "new hair color girl" (aka R): CDG, you should go on a diet you look really fat in that pic.


CDG: thanks R. I'll return to my ANOREXIC self from the days I was only 80lbs now!!

R: Opps I meant you don't look that fat for a 31 year old CDG; if I was a 60 year old man id give you a look or two if you got rid of your double chin.

CDG: Ummm, I don't have a double chin... I wear a size 2. R, you are an ASSHOLE if I ever knew one!! Maybe A thinks the world of you, R, but you are a world class asshole.

R: Size 2? Didn't you have a profile pic of you eating cake. Id say you're a size 18. Don't worry if you do the lohan for atleast 4 more months you will fit that dream size 2.

CDG: wow, if I was your girl, I'd drop you in less than a second for saying something about my friend like that. I've struggled with anorexia for 13 years. And you are just an ASS to say something like that! There is a special place in hell that burns like a hot poker in your ass for people like you, R. And I hope you do! And no, my bf eats cake. I have not had cake in 16 years!!! there is a pic of HIM blowing out his birthday candles on a cake! Me eating it? NEVER!!

R: You should expect a rude comment when you make a rude comment. Ill gladly sit in hell with you and take that poker and stick it up you're fat ass ill top it off with an apple in your mouth as I'm roasting you in hell.

CDG: WTF R?! A ALWAYS looks awesome!! She is ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL!! Why dig into someone you don't know, call someone you DON'T know names (when you have never met that person) when said person really never said anything bad about your friend? Prioritize, my dear. Especially from the girl who has barely eaten in a week due to people thinking her size 2 frame is fat. skim milk and only fruit for a 400 calorie diet a day.

You have some interesting friends.

And who in their right mind doesn't eat cake for 16 years?

[Green Eyed Lady]

This is exactly why I don't do the FB thing. Besides, you can get that all on EE.

no doubt :-) I guess i went to high school with her, but i don't really know her. her posts just really amuse me.

I try not to go 16 hours without eating cake!! :-0

I like it when my friends post happy, cheery, brag posts. I don't want to hear their whining.

I check Facebook about once every 4 months.

If your interested in bizarre conversations, here's a link for a good laugh.

From Overheard In New York:

Blonde: So, how long is the flight to San Diego?
Brunette: I think it's like three hours... Yeah, it's three hours. I leave at three and land at six.
Blonde: Oh, that's it?
Brunette: Yeah, it would be quicker if I didn't have a layover.

Eh, everyone needs to watch a good train wreck once in a while.

I like to hash out train wrecks with my girlfriends over cocktails. Facebook just doesn't draw me in that way.

Also my friends are boring - they post shit like my husband didn't bring home pizza today, I have a cold, my kid isn't napping. I want high drama!

[swamp]

which is why you keep the HS crazies on there!!!!

[jeffreymo]

Facebook is good for goofy, random musings about what is occurring in everyone's everyday lives. I also like sharing pictures with friends and family that I don't get to see often. The train wrecks are good too. It is so tempting to throw in my two cents, but once I realize that 2-3000 people who I don't know will read it, I change my mind. I enjoy laughing at the people who take the bait.

I've never seen anything like that. Not even with GW's highschool friends.

I have. A husband found out his wife was cheating on him and they proceeding to duke it out on FB.

I was actually a buzz kill and PM'd him and told him to knock it off because what he was saying was going to come back and bite him in the ass in a custody trial.

LOL and D'oh!!

[happyhoix]

There have been shootings over things posted on FB, so I guess some people take it serious enough.

Personally I've never seen what it's useful for. One organization I belong to posts updates via FB, so I check it about weekly. There are some people who, judging from the number of posts they make, do nothing BUT stay on FB all day.

Pictures of what they ate for lunch, random shots of their dog, stuff they found on other sites and drug over to FB. Not sure what the point of it is.

There are lots of things about FB I don't understand - now I see these things where people have 'claimed a' whatever - like claimed a deal for half off shoes or for 10$ off a sweater at some website - is this where people are redeeming coupons to buy stuff somehow? If that's the case my nephew has married a giant shopaholic, bless him.

See my experience has been different. Last week a couple of girl's from GW's school posted pics making funny faces to mock a fellow student. About 20 other kids posted telling them that was rude and to take them down. Many more kids liked the posts telling them to take the pictures down. After a couple of hours of this the pictures were deleted. I figured the kid being mocked must be really popular. GW said "not really, he does look funny and he is crossed eye'd. But you don't make fun of someone like that" as if I was stupid not to realise it.

And this is why I don't say anything about how other people look except as a positive- that new hair cut looks cute, etc. I hold to that in real life and facebook. And I would think that as someone who will drop down to a 400 calorie/day diet based on a comment from a stranger on FB, you should know better than to even hint at criticism of how someone else looks (even if you do think the natural hair color is better). Either that, or you're an attention whore- which is what a lot of FB drama is really about.

I love it when people post something political on FB, get positive comments and are all happy, until someone criticizes what they posted, and then they delete all comments, claming "I didn't ask for your opinion"- well, actually, you posted it on FB and you were happy with positive comments- you need to have the courage of your convictions to handle negative comments, as well. (And I'm not talking about name calling, but simply someone pointing out the other side of the argument.)

[Taxman10]

Woo hoo!!

follow up!!

CDG posted a picture of herself when she was anorexic:

CDG: R thinks this is sexy. me... at 85lbs and dying. yes those are both my legs. wearing a little girls size 10 (not huniors or adult, little kids) and a belt. he thinks this is sexy? I call it me DYING.

R: If only you could of finished the job.

CDG: YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHOLE AND A DICK!! wow, YOU HAVE no love in y)ou at all. you SHOULD PUT A GUN TO YOUR OWN HEAD RYAN. YOU REALLY ARE A MEAN HATEFUL PERSON!

A: <<A is the girl who changed her hair color and apparently dating R. I went to high school with CDG and A, but don't know who R is?>> No he isn't. He just has low tolerance for bullshit

Radom Guy: WTF?

CDG: Again. ANOREXIA IS NOT A JOKE

R's sister: I dont know who u are but thats my big brother and i dont appreciate u saying he should kill himself. Why not grow up! And ya know what R aint a hateful person he just knows how to state the truth!

what I really can't figure out is why A and CDG are friends?? b/c they don't seem to like each other??

Oh and everyone is like 31/32 years old....it just really cracks me up :-)

ETA:

A: Look CDG, where do you get off posting lies about my boyfriend on my facebook wall! First of all, let's not forget that YOU are the one who started this posting an ignorant comment on one of my pictures. Don't get on here and play the victim!!! With you it's always someone else-never you. Look at the comments you've posted to R-you aren't that innocent! You are only trying to manipulate the situation. He doesn't think you're fat-you aren't-he said it to be as rude to you as you were to me. He knew it would get a rise out of you-and it did! Don't post any more of your bullshit on my wall-take it elsewhere!!!!

Another random poster: Just delete this BS and block her. This is so lame. A true friend would acknowledge when they screwed up rather than making it all about themselves.


A: I plan to, I just want to make sure she sees the comment I just wrote her first. I am nice to a point but I've had it.

ARP : At 31 and with a Master's Degree, you would expect someone to have more intelligence. I'm tired of reading this nonsense

I really want to email A and ask her if she's actually friends with CDG or if they're just FB friends??

[InsertCoolName]

OHHHHHHHH I'm so totally going to post random bs on fb and hope that any of my fb friends are here!!!!!!!

CDG is a pretty hard core liberal and she post a bunch of anti-GOP/romney stuff (she's also unemployed, but has a master's degree in social work or something)...so I do enjoy posting anti-liberal stuff, but I hide it from all my other friends, so only she can see it :-)

[Chocolate Lover]

I have a cousin who complains about a certain group of football fans, all while posting bunches of BS about HER football team. That's the extent of the drama on my RL page. I don't take her bait, I just laugh at her and go on. I'm mean like that.
