    Ok, not sure where to post this so gonna go for AH.
    So here's what im trying to find out..... is everybody addicted to facebook ???? man oh man it drives me feckin simple, and I DONT EVEN HAVE AN ACCOUNT !!!, OK im a father of two girls, they are both hooked on FB, about two years ago I met a woman, I knew she was on FB but maybe she had a good way of hiding her FB addiction as now two yrs on the first thing she does when she wakes up in the morn is check her phone for FB updates, the last thing she does before bed is the same ,god knows how often during the day. Soooooooo I have two daughters, both FB heads, a fiance, another FB head, her daughter, the same. MY life is surrounded by feckin zombies with there heads stuck in their phones. Is it just me, am I stuck in the dark ages or is facebook THE MOST antisocial thing on record ???. Oh and before anyone says it, im only on boards once or twice a week :). Id really love to hear peoples opinions on the matter.

    Use fire or any weapons to hand to hold em off. You're going to have to kill one or two to break the circle and escape.

    Before it was even open I had the axe out from under the stairs and the grenades unpinned.

    They're probably on porn.

    Aw man, I read the thread title and was so excited.

    Finally, watching that walking dead documentary was worth it.

    But no. It's a thread about the OP having a fiancé and her being on facebook.

    FML.

    Given the point of Facebook is for easier communication with friends (even the ones you don't like) it's definitely not the most antisocial thing on record.


    You don't have to be face-to-face with people to communicate with, develop a deep hatred for, them.

    Probably should've read more than just the thread title

    I use it to keep in contact with people. It's more like a replacement house phone for me. I work at home so I can access it through most of the day (I don't have a smartphone, mainly because I'm too poor to buy one!). I still use a crappy old Nokia and I keep the credit on that for emergencies like when I'm not near a computer and I need someone to go drinking with.

    It does drive me spare when I'm out with people and they're constantly checking their phones though. Apart from being poor, I don't have a smartphone because I want to get away from the Internet when I leave the house.

    It is annoying, whats worse is the undead addicted dont even know they are afflicted.

    But it is very annoying, I dont think children should be on it, certainly not non stop. Looking at the shyte some of the people I know post astonishes me, melodramatic narcissistic look at me attention seeking nonsense.

    I use it to check and share pictures and to stay in touch with people that are distant as its the handiest thing for that for me, not someone they saw today or will see tomorrow.

    There is only one way to finish off a zombie!

    The general rule is that whatever is to your left is the first thing you'll use as a weapon against zombies. Mine is a bag. Not even a bag like in Battle Royale, where there's the slight chance of a gun being in there. I'm pretty sure it's just some receipts and a pack of playing cards. I'm screwed.

    As for Facebook, I usually check it when I wake up, but that's only to see who's birthday it is and whether I should say anything to them.
