Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov

There's also the aspect where people you thought liked you (in real life, not the FB way) ok don't ever message on Facebook, or you extend a "hi-there" and get nothing back. And then there are the people I DO want to exchage messages with, but I really don't care to see all the web links, who-all their new FB friends are, etc and it takes 10 minutes to 'hide' all those posts--which on my page are 95% of what's on there. I don't want to 'defriend' most of them, because I DO want to know what's going on, but they almost exclusively do Facebook now, not even regular emails or what have you.
I 'unfriended' someone whose posts stressed me. Unless she goes looking for my name on her 'friends' list, I don't think she'll know it, will she? You've got to know my "secret squirrel" name to find me anyway! Somebody took my name that I use on this board....of all the nerve!
I've defriended people sometimes because I don't use Facebook to chat. If I want to talk someone, I'll send a message to them by email or private message at a forum we both go to. I add a lot of temporary friends for Facebook games I play so sometimes I start deleting people who no longer play the games and who I don't interact with on Facebook. I've had forum friends get upset with me because of that but I didn't do it to hurt them. I figured they were probably getting tired of seeing all my posts regarding games and I didn't care to see their general chatter, quizzes, photos, etc. Since we were still in contact in other ways, I didn't expect them to be so hurt.Originally Posted by livin4reality
I just post stupid stuff on Facebook to get likes and comments to make me feel better about myself. True story.
I only read on FB. I seldom post; maybe I'll wish someone a happy birthday. Mostly, I keep up with what my little darling is posting.
I admit it, I do that, too. I mostly post funny stuff or once in awhile I'll post something to tick off my republican friends.

I saw a commercial for Almay's "Smoky-I" kit, and was transported back to when I used to do that look, maybe, in high school or college! I remember standing in the mirror recreating looks I saw from magazines. I'd go section-by-section doing what I saw. Like the saying goes....everything old is new again. People are acting like this smoky eye thing is something new. Nice Try!
