Why bother yourself with the trivialities of other peoples lives?
A friend once pointed out that without Facebook, he wouldn't of come into contact with old lost friends/family, and in that respect I can see one advantage to having a Facebook account, but it seems for most, it's nothing more than what I'd consider "social garbage" that wastes even more of your time.
I guess I'm just too "old school" where I happen to think what I do is MY business and I don't feel like broadcasting my stupid butt mistakes in life. God, it's getting to the point in today's society where if you take the time to send a e-mail of some sort instead of taking the time to write (thank you card, get well card...) or call you aren't considered lazy (per Natasha's example as well).
If you want to get laid, just go to match.com LOL
