There's the question folks!

A. Could you even consider a life without Facebook?!! Would you even comprehend deleting your account?! Do you find FB is a beneficial addition to your life, or, in reality, a waste of time, in essence a 'disconnect' from friends???


B. Have you avoided Facebook? Never felt compelled to join or feel you needed it in your life?


I want to hear from the A's and B's.........I just trimmed my 'friend' list down to the 50 mark, hell, I don't even have that many 'friends' even, I'm just wondering if I really need FB, but also wondering could I be without

I have friends and relatives in numerous locations across Europe and beyond, it is very handy for keeping in touch with them and finding out what the story is with them, but I get what you mean, I don't really want to know how much you love/adore/can't live without hubby/wifey, why are you telling me anyway? You should be telling them. I don't care which subway sandwich you had today, how many miles you jogged, or if you just woke up with a raging hangover, and I really, really don't care what cat was put in what damn wheelie bin.

I am fed up of receiving invites to join "causes," that are suppose to tug at my heart strings that I have never ever heard of before, let alone have the slightest bit interest in.

The bits I do though like are the funny comments/pages and knowing at the touch of a button, that close friends and family are doing okay and are happy, which is the important bit, not all the fluff and nonsense that goes with facebook.

Brandenburger: what is the delete friends politics so as not to put noses out of joint (rhetorical question)...


Whatever you do, don't do this one, I think this was back in 2009 and caused so much uproar with FB groupies that the promo was pulled.



Some people use facebook to try and show how popular they are, having hundreds/thousands of friends, nearly if not all, are just associates, a friend is something entirely different.

It has also just occurred to me that people have posted their entire lives on here on occasion.

The number of friends they have actually puts me off letting them on my fb, I mean if I accept them as a friend, obviously I do not mind them seeing my page, but I hate the thought that all their friends can view my fb page, though I think I have this private dunno

I've about 100 friends on FB, a mix of people I went to school with, relations and some of the crowd I work with as well.

Might log on about twice a week but thats it, if it was gone tomorrow it wouldn't matter a shíte to me.

yes i could..

i could live without my boyfriend too...but i dont want to..same as facebook.

i enjoy the splurge into what mary did with tommy last weekend..and what little sallys dress looked like at her communion..and congratulating mike in australia on the birth of his new son... and throw the odd pic up with something that made me think.

all my friends are my friends cos they wanna be.. and its not like prison..u can leave..just seems a lot of people are enjoying the communicating themselves to the world in whichever weird way they like to. No harm where harm isnt meant.

Hide that pic of you and your spawn on the beach.

Tell that lump of a wan to hide HER pic of you on the beach with ye lifting each other's legs.

Your old man and you ( he's a fresh as a daisy conversing )

And some other pic of you in the US

I photoshopped my head onto all of the other people in your pics and I have them all printed out and hung on the wall.

Could I live without Facebook? Absolutely, but, it is does have it's uses....

I very seldom post stuff on it, and when I do, it's usually a music video, but I was out of the country for a month earlier this year so it was great for keeping in touch with my daughter, keeping up to date on club football etc

I only have an account for about 3 years and I've noticed that every month, I use it less and less
