Because that is what people use FB for. If he is looking for something more opinionated, philosophical or deep he is on the wrong site. I for one love random updates. It makes me feel closer to people I don't see often and share in normal things they do each day. And THAT is what FB is about.

I'm not dictating how anyone should use Facebook - I couldn't if I tried. Also, Odette, expressing opinions on Facebook makes it a useful tool, if only people actually used it that way. But putting up posts such as "On my own in my apartment today and ... Read Moretotally leaving work at 4" followed up by "I accidentally posted nude pictures on my work computer today", followed up, or proceeded by "Took my last 6.30am swim in my pool today" is neither news nor opinion.<br />I think my last status update was when I had a baby - much the same for friends of mine. That is the reason I am on Facebook. Not to find out what colour dress someone is thinking of wearing tonight.<br />Nora - I'm posting on the wall rather than by private messages because I post so little that I am unfamiliar with the options (that and the fact that I like to get a discussion going)."<br /><br />I mean...wtf? LOSER! And to think my status about getting up at 630 AM to go swimming one last time would annoy him so much that he would actually remember it and then use it in his lame-ass argument! What a fat, balding prick with zero time on his hands and some serious issues...Wanderlustinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997835666384194750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-51423276871122325262009-07-12T21:34:37.446-07:002009-07-12T21:34:37.446-07:00that dude is a dick.

I mean, i have over 400 friends, most from different countries, my status updates are about me and how i feel, and NOTHING to do with my friends list, the whole point behind a status update is to let people know whats going on, if they want to read it. There is no right or wrong, he can choose not to have status updates fed into his news feeder, its up to him to change his personal settings, not to attack everyone he doesnt want to read about. It sounds like a really pathetic argument he is trying to make, and I wonder why he is even on facebook. <br /><br />Maybe he is having a bad day and taking it out on someone. Very very dramatic for nothing.( . )( . )https://www.blogger.com/profile/05654834275464135130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-58325419694775590342009-07-12T14:07:19.871-07:002009-07-12T14:07:19.871-07:00WoW... what amazes me is that your friend chose to...WoW... what amazes me is that your friend chose to send you his opinion after such a sad post. He bitched about knowing what you eat and such, and yet he sent the comment after an important, sad, deep post. I think that was douche-y and hypocritical to say the least.

The fact that someone got pissed off at you for your update is ridiculous. It's easy to ignore other people's updates. I read through the Newsfeed in 3 seconds flat... skimming over what I don't need to know and focusing on what interests me. This guy you know has a bee in his bonnet and obviously needs to chillax a little (yes, I just used the term chillax) and focus on his own life rather than letting other's lifes irritate him.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974214946795771877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-89962769709962336892009-07-11T16:08:46.059-07:002009-07-11T16:08:46.059-07:00I mean "I wouldn't even argue".

I'd just tell him that if he doesn't want to read my status updates, he can block them, and if he complains, then I'd kick him off my friend list. I mean, seriously, how stupid is this guy?<br /><br />I give TONS of status updates that are unrelated to most of my friends, and I give a lot of them in different languages, so usually there's always a part of my friends that won't even understand what I'm writing.

Obviously the news of your friend's death was on your mind, and expressing how you felt about the loss was healthy and appropriate. If he doesn't give a damn, maybe he should remove you (and anyone else with emotions) from his page. Or perhaps he'd rather Facebook just be called "Picturebook." A lot of bad moods? Sorry, but that's what makes us interesting people. And I hardly think the media questions whether each tidbit is relevant or appropriate, or possibly offensive. Frankly, I don't want to be shielded from it. <br /><br />I'm sorry for your loss, Karina. Hopefully you'll lose this mean little Irish man and make room for the people who care. <br /><br />Great dress, by the way!<br />xoxox,<br />Jordanbelievablegiraffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857465607473580299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-32550379245514291552009-07-11T09:30:29.971-07:002009-07-11T09:30:29.971-07:00I think this guy would not exactly be cut out for ...I think this guy would not exactly be cut out for Twitter than if he can't handle simple status updates on facebook hahaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629014243046280237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-3938936010143858762009-07-11T09:28:08.648-07:002009-07-11T09:28:08.648-07:00Obviously this Peter guy had nothing better to do ...Obviously this Peter guy had nothing better to do with his time than to pick apart other people. He's probably insecure himself who knows.But like you said, most facebook users do exactly the same thing that you do... and its not an issue! There are no freakin' rules on how many times you can update your status per day or what you should and should not post. WTF is right! I mean really, come on buddy, I'm pretty sure he could find something a little more constructive to do with his time than to sit on facebook all day and police all of his friends. What does it matter to him if your status updates do not pertain to him anyways?

That guy seriously...Are you freakin' serious?? That guy seriously needs to GET A LIFE!!! Most people do use Facebook just to crap on about random stuff (generally that's what I do) and it's great for keeping in touch, seeing photos of friends etc. Sometimes there are posts that are serious where we get to hear about something distressing that may be going on in someones life and we can offer them some support etc. But, who the hell decided that Facebook needs to be serious all the time and to be edited by a loser like him who seriously needs to start having a good look around Facebook and see what most people use it for!! It's meant to be fun. The world is serious enough! Anyway, it's YOUR page - not his! How dare he! I think it's time for a Facebook friend dumping - you don't need people like him ruining your day. It's a very strange attitude for an Irishman because the Irish are usually totally carefree with a great sense of humour - not sure what his story must be. Anyway, don't let it upset you. It's your Facebook page and you can put whatever the hell you want on there my dear. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-79171331743268135922009-07-10T19:18:56.893-07:002009-07-10T19:18:56.893-07:00This is silly but I can't find your email addr...This is silly but I can't find your email address anywhere.
