Facebook is:
25% People looking stupid (or just exposing their stupidity)
45% People trying to impress their "friends" in a quest for validation
30% Things that no one else really cares about
I try to treat Facebook the way I treat this site - as a way to chat with people, share interests and ideas, etc., but it just doesn't work. Facebook is the reduction of human interaction to the level of vapid narcissism. Don't even get me started on what that makes Twitter.
In fairness, most of the wotmaniacs/RAFhOles on Facebook are not like this. It's the other ones that irritate me. I'm considering a scorched earth campaign that will make my "friends" probably hate me and defriend me. After all, no one has that many real friends.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Is this because of the people who want Megan Fox to play Lanfear in the WoT movie...

The easy way around that is to simply take them off your friends list.

I'm interested in what my friends are doing, generally.

It does happen in real life, but not usually with my friends.

Yeah, in that case I would just hide them.

In that case, what is the point of having them as "friends"?
