Saw this excellent t-shirt yesterday.......

[joeluke]

........with the words 'No I'm not on fcuckin facebook' on the front

Thought it was well funny, and it begs the question...........

Why are so many 'grown-ups' obsessed with this teenage internet craze?

[NoMercy]

I would love one of those t-shirts !!

Morning joe..glad to see you back after your "mauling" yesterday on homosexuality LOL

Modern method of communication Joe....keep up with the times.

P.S I agree...I am not on Facebook either.

[redcrx]

what makes you think its a teenage internet craze? Is there an age limit on it?

I am on a few forums, many years ago we used msn groups for being able to share photos and discussions that we didnt want on the public boards. They stopped and FB was the alternative. It works fine for our requirements and we can all keep in touch there as well as on the forums.

Also seen FB....FO

[ummmm]

I introduced my kids to FaceBook. They had never heard of it at the time.

[jno]

average age of Facebook users is 33, so it's hardly a teenage craze.

Even Twitterers have an average age of 31.

Squd.....that wasn't a mauling, I knew I was right so wasn't budging!

[Sqad]

joe......gud on yer mate.

[ummmm]

I didn't consider it a mauling either. Just lot's of people that didn't agree with him.

[joeluke]

Back to FB......it may be the modern method of communication but you tell me whats right about people updating their status on it to 'single' in a cop out way of telling their partner that they are dumped? (have read of this several times in the press)

[Sqad]

joe......it is not easy "dumping" someone and invariably, being human, one takes the easy way out rather than telling them to their face. In my days, one would just say that one would ring them and then not bother.

[ummmm]

lol.....I find people tend to that after they've had a argument. Very childish.

[redcrx]

Is that your problem with it? that a very very very small number of people have used it in a cruel way?

Those who can do dump someone that way would also have no problem of texting same message, shall we ban mobile phones?

[Sqad]

red...good morning......you are right on form today ;-)

[joeluke]

I've always dumped girls face to face.....facebook, texting, phoning etc is the cowards way out

[Sqad]

joe...agreed............but i am a bl00dy coward.

[redcrx]

lol, sqad, its one of those days!

[Sqad]

joe.......I couldn't bare to see them cry, emotionally collapse and beg me to give them another chance......no joe.........I couldn't bare that.

[ummmm]

Not everyones like you....

My BF's cousin use to have full blown arguments on there.

My friends GF got into his account and announced that he's been sleeping with prostitutes and gave her VD. It's true....he was and he did.

[NoMercy]

Get you, Sqaddy !
