Is Facebook a requirement in this day and age?

What's a cracker?

[dataDave]

A white man?

[dataDave]

Person?

[dataDave]

White person.

[nakamura]

Right. Is that meant to be racist then?

[kryss]

It would seem some people think so. Typical white folks.

[nakamura]

I didn't think it was possible to be racist against white people.

1) She got death threats after jokingly calling her friend a "cracker" which actually brought her to tears (remember at the time we were in Japan and they were in Canada, so not particularly theatening IMO). When another friend defended her, the same guy threatened her as well.

One white person called another white person a cracker and that resulted in death threats?

Or was she Japanese?

I thought Japanese slag for white people was gweilo or round eye?

It's a great place to spot impending alcoholics. "It's wine o'clock" on someone's timeline every day is a bad sign.

[nakamura]

Japanese slag? Where?

Facebook is nothing more or less than what you make of it.

Nailed in third post.

Facebook is nothing more or less than the drama people cause on it.

Fixed.

Another hater of Facebook here. I hate all social bollocks though. I don't want people knowing everything about me, I don't want to know if someone took a crap and it was pink. I don't care what people do in their free time. If I did I'd call them or write a mail. Same thing with gaming. I don't want some arse joining my game and messing it up. I hate games that have online join mode switch to ON as default. First time playing Dead Island I was like "Who the hell is this guy?" "Why is he in my game in story mode?" Took me about 10 minutes to figure out people can join in your game at any point. I DON'T WANT THAT!. That's why I play story / campaign mode before any online modes.

Facebook is not needed in life at all. I have loads of friends, real friends that I meet and socialize with in the real world. IMO, people really in to Facebook need to take a good hard look at their life and ask themselves "Do I really need this ****?"

The amount of Facebook hate being posted on an Internet forum is incredible. No one see the irony? It's what you make of it as someone else already said. We all visit here regularly. If this was the only interaction we had with other humans then it'd be unhealthy. Facebook is no different. Some people are just a bit sad posting their entire life on there but it can be a place to see what your friends are up to when you're not with them. My friends just posted a picture of their little girl's reaction on being told she was going to Disney land. Was lovely. Yes, they could have sent an email to all the people they thought might be interested but this is way more convenient.

I got rid of Facebook three years ago, I can't think of a single occasion which has made me regret this decision.
