Facebook is not: a confessional, a shrink's office, a diary, etc.
So post your friends' statuses who spill way too much.
(For a second I thought to myself, "Jane, is this invasion of some people's privacy?" but then I thought, "I don't care.")
Cassie _____ is getting divorced.....oh yeah I'm pregnant....surprise!
Candice ______ bought a book of Emily Dickinson's poems on sale, and she sucks. I'm sorry but she sucks.
And my personal favorite:
Candice _____ is the mother of a child that peed her pants at school today. Lawl!
There is hope, but not for us.
Jane, did you get those from Failbook? Or are those actual friends of yours?
This is why i delete friends or remove them from my newsfeed.
These are real.
The divorced/pregnant girl has some interesting drama shaping up.
There is hope, but not for us.
I don't like people with complicated lives. They neither amuse me nor interest me. They befuddle me, and i don't like being fuddled or any other form of fuddlement.
We're covering Dickinson in my 19th century American Lit class right now. She's slowly growing on me.

Anyone know where I can download casa erotica 13?
Yes! Because I feel compelled to comment on every one of those. lmao.
But seriously - the gravy dispenser? That's disgusting.
(For a second I thought to myself, "Jane, is this invasion of some people's privacy?" but then I thought, "I don't care.")
Whose privacy? The people who broadcast their privacy?
My personal opinion is that it's not so much the medium or the message as it is the audience.
I'm sorry about my pre-edit post.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Yes, because simpletons with one-dimensional lives make much better company.

It's okay. I read it and I understand what you're saying.
But I also feel that we've kind of lost a sense of privacy. I understand pregnancy girl is probably hurting. I also understand that she has a mother, two sisters, and friends whom she could speak to privately about this. Maybe if she hadn't gotten married at 23 to a guy who wears a white hat in his display picture, things might have turned out differently:
1. She announces she's single, and changes back to her maiden name
2. She announces she's pregnant, and that her husband "said he doesn't love me like he thought he did."
3. She makes a post saying she doesn't want to bring a baby into a world where its father doesn't love it.
4. She changes back to her married name and says they're working things out.
5. She asks people to "pray for her" and deletes all of the previous activities.
All of this transpiring within 12 hours.
Am I cruel? Probably. Is she an idiot? Yes. Is this thread simply a veiled attack on the rampant idiocy that is being perpetrated on social networking sites daily, across the globe, by overexposing one's personal life? Also yes.
There is hope, but not for us.
I get what you are saying. Now after hearing that part of the story, it looks more like she was posting to embarrass her husband rather than a cry for help. That's slippery manipulative slope that often backfires.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Hah, that made me lol.
Not to mention the timing of her pregnancy is rather convenient.
I mean, we could have a discussion about what you said, pre-edit. I think there's a hell of a lot to be talked about, with the internet and the new realms of private lives that are now anything but private.
There is hope, but not for us.
WOH WANTES NAKKET PITCHERS OF ME LOL1111!!!
This is why we can't have nice things.
I mean, uh, yeah.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Actually, I've come to discover that Facebook sucks ass. Whos's with me?!

My personal favorite is when people post statuses making it easy for them to get murdered or stalked.
For example, "I'm going to Annie's house, I'll be back home around 10." or "I'm home alone at my house and my parents are out of town. Also I have no weapons to protect myself. Oh and I love how secluded my house is, I bet if I screamed no one would hear it."
Man is the cruelest animal.
I've begun to click "hide" for everyone I deem annoying. I really hate when people post whiny statuses. I always want to comment saying, "No one gives a shit." But that would be rude.
I also hate Formspring and how everyone with an account on that website publishes their answers on Facebook. They've been hidden too.
My friend insists on posting about her relationship status.I just recently saw that she actually posted about other stuff but I swear all she would post was about every little thing that was happening between her and her man.
SPAZ he texted me saying it bothered him seeing me sad today, we're starting over as friends:/ oh man im in for some changing cuz i want him back
SPAZ IM SINGLE AGAIN....DAMN WHOEVER SAID ITS BETTER TO OF LOVED N LOST THEN NEVER TO OF LOVED AT ALL IS A LYING SON OF A BITCH......im in pain :,(
Yes, because simpletons with one-dimensional lives make much better company.
Having an uncomplicated life does not make you an idiot. I'd argue the opposite, actually. My life is incredibly stable, for the most part. I'm not constantly in jeopardy of losing friends, i'm not pining over some lost love. There's no complicated intrigue in my life. I'm convinced that people with extremely complicated lives all watch too much reality television because they all act as if a camera's watching their every move, as if anyone cares about all the inanities of their life.
So, it's not my fault that your life sucks and is excessively complex. Maybe you should figure shit out and quit being such an asshole.
oh i've got a good one.
My roommate does Kendo, which is like, japanese bamboo sword fighting? you do it barefoot. he suffers from really gross blisters and peeling skin on the bottom of his foot that he keeps in a constant bandage, so it's all gross and humidified and cesspool-like and rotten and gangrene. Anyway, one night he's taking off the bandage, and the room reeks of foot juice. I'm at my computer, trying not to look behind me as he unpeels and looks at his foot. He starts taking pictures of it. Eww. I'm trying not to pay attention. I go to get on facebook. The pictures of his foot and open sore are top on my newsfeed, confronting the world with like captions that say "Kendo wound FTW!" and shit like that. I wanted to kill him.

lol I have piles lol
like they always are on Facebook.
At least half of my facebook friends are hidden. Probably way more.

Do you ever stop doing that? Do you do it in real life? In school? At home? I'd probably pay people to throw shit at you.
Hm?

I'd be up for that. I didn't mean to come across as voracious or inditing, I was just expressing an opinion that was no more or less valid than any other opinion out there.

This girl posts countless times a day. And most of it's all the ssdd.
Kitty: today has been absolutely terrible. I'm way depressed. I want to sleep for a long time and maybe cry. I'm upset and sad. and i want to quit my job but the problem is i don't want to get another one either. I really need for God to send me my future husband (whoever he might be) ASAP...like preferably in the next hour, ...seriously!!! cuz i'm having some serious emotional issues in that area right now. ONE OF THOSE DAYS!
Kitty: Pray for bret michaels!!!!!
Kitty: Is thankful to God today that HE knows better than ME!....I'm happy that I didn't end up with those who I wanted to end up with! and I'm excited about whoever I WILL end up with. & I Can't say I grew up thinking talking about Jesus & Porn would make me so happy....but i'm so glad that THIS is my mission. Now i know th...at God and my ministry must come first cuz i'm not happy without them! 
Work! Text me!

What about those chain ones that are all like, "Post this on your wall if you have the best daughter in the world!!!"
But you can't all have the best daughter in the world? All your friend's claims are cancelling yours out. What're ya gonna do about it?

I'm sorry, that made me laugh. Is that real? Are you friends with that person?
This one girl I know - who is basically a cousin so I can't delete her - posts every hour. And she treats facebook like it's a diary. Like posting things she wishes her boy friend would do. Apparently she wants him to propose. Or so she says on facebook at least once a day.
I don't know. 
But I feel like it's right out of that South Park episode. If I delete her, people will be talking behind my back like I'm the asshole. Never mind the fact that I know when her period is here.
A family member deleted me! Cos she was pissed at me. We still don't talk!
I hide basically everything that isn't a status update, or something of the like. I don't hide people, cos if I'm gonna hide them I'm just gonna delete them. If you play farmville, or any other game like that on Facebook, it will get hidden. I just can't handle my feed choking on who's pet hatched! I don't hid formspring cos I have one (sorry Caitlin!)
I used to be active and involved with games and stupid things, but I deleted all of it and now I just use Facebook as a social network like it was intended. And I like anything that's funny.
I deleted my two Jehovah's Witness aunts because they both continuously tried to convert me from atheism to their religion. All the damn time. After I deleted them they called up my mother to complain about it.
I don't understand why Facebook is such a big deal.
I said fuck in a status update (like I always do) and this lady that my mom grew up with that had friended me scolded me for it. I thought she was kidding, so I was like "Hahaha!" and she sent me a message telling me how Jesus can save me from my sinful ways.
I hate that. I really, really hate that. Believe whatever you want to believe. I don't care if you're an atheist, agnostic, Muslim, Christian, it doesn't matter. Just, please don't make assumptions towards my lifestyle. It's gross and rude.
You just sort of give up... again.
Yeah, what's the big deal about family members? I used to deny my mother's friend requests all the time.
Jesus christ you guys all got some drama in your friends lists.
I used to laugh while deleting my siblings. It was like cutting them out of a family will!
...Or killing them to be the sole surviving heir!
Just read this status update and thank god for this thread.
I have had the worst diarrhea for 4 days. It's the kind that feels like acid coming out. Does anyone have any home remedies?
Seriously.
Tell that person that the best home remedy is NOT putting that on Facebook!
My friend posted close-up pictures of nasty blisters on her lips. Because we as a people don't see blisters on people's lips enough as it is? Why??
