Anyone who is on facebook check out the LFC Official facebook group ( its hillarious ).

An official post is made by whoever and it is usually followed by 1000 replies of "lucas is :censored:", "rafa is a :censored:" posts......so funny :)


90% of them come from the far east/asia region, where spelling and grammar isn't obviously taught
:laugh: :laugh:

Wouldn't go near it, if I want to be friends with someone I will be. If Im not friends with you now then there is a reason

I don't know, I take seriously friendship as a value and I think there are few real friends for your whole life.

But I don't consider the facebook contacts this kind of friends. Sometimes you're not close friends but you want to know how people you don't see that often are. Not very intimate things, simply how they're doing or hear about them moving to another town.

It's people who studied with you and now are far away, if you lost contact is not because you didn't truly appreciate them but because of distance. I keep track in facebook of a security guard that went to Africa to work for instance, and I like to see he's doing well.

I know you can keep contact with email or phone, but this way is an easy way to send quick messages from time to time or learn about them. I think it's an interesting tool as long as you don't share too much intimate info.

I think that 55 mins at Facebook, or Newkit for that matter, are good or bad depending on what they are substituting in your life.

If it prevents you from reading or taking a coffee with a friend or something useful, it's a bad thing. If you substitute the fĂșcking TV hours for Facebook or newkit, then I can see no wrong.

I want sabre as friend  :(

Add me lid  :)

Cant see the problem to be honest, its a good way to keep up with old mates and people who have moved away.
If you dont want people knowing your business you dont need to put stuff on. You can still just browse.

I was just thinking that, mate...  :D
Then again, I'm sure they still use one fat finger to type, while shoving a Super Size FatGit Burger into their face with the other hand.....

I like it, I get to know the updates of my closest friends an people I haven't seen since high school. Actually saw a couple of mates that I haven't seen in ages through arranging like a get together on facebook.

People who don't have facebook, are miserable and have no friends.

Nerds

:D
