Facebook sucks. A lot. I only have it to really keep in touch with a few people from home and maybe leave messages to a few friends up here, but people just keep adding me. Come on, it's not like I have talked to any of them in the last, oh, year, so why do they think I want to start now? Seriously.

Or then there are the people I don't even know, like a friend's fiancee's older sister. I've met her fiancee all of three times (And thought he was really cool, but still, his sister?). Please. I just feel so bad hitting the reject button, but grr.... I HATE FACEBOOK!!!!

See, this is why I don't have a facebook account. Who needs the aggravation! ;)

I wouldn't waste your time feeling bad about hitting the rejection button. If you're not closely affiliated with them anyway, they are unlikely to spend a lot of time worrying about the fact that you never showed up as their Facebook friend. Also, I refuse to feel bad when I turn down applications and such. It's completely your prerogative, Mack! Be bold!

Again, anything I could say has already been said even better by Dinosaur Comics:

Today's Dinosaur Comic was particularly amazing. I credit you, Foreman, for my new addiction. Thank you.

Glad to help. Since you're new, I'll give you a pointer... always hover your mouse over the comic for a funny-as-heck alt text and over the "Comments" link to see what the author has dictated as the response e-mail subject for the day. Often, one or both of them is at least as funny (if not more so) than the comic itself. Enjoy!

I don't read dinosaur comics because the url is too hard to type. I wonder how I got to be so lazy.

http://www.chewbac.ca is pretty easy to remember. That is one of the domain names.

That comic is amazing!


And I would disagree with Craig, but he wouldn't respond.... Facebook is fun

depends on how involved you are with the applications probably.

Who needs applications? I just like the networking it provides. For example, last year for my birthday, I made the party an event and invited all my friends (well, I don't have that many, mostly people I know relatively well). People came who I otherwise may not have contacted, and we all had a lot of fun. And right at this very moment, I am using facebook to plan my night in Utah next week, so that my friends can all get together and I can see them!

For me, Facebook is an amazing tool, much like the internet, and is great for procrastination.

Yeah, I still may be in the group titled "I was doing homework and then I logged onto facebook". Yeah, so it is definitely an agent of procrastination.

wow! we share a group (with 589,011 other members)

Groups are a pretty cool thing, too bad they are getting rid of networks for schools and cities and such

Just a little plug for those who read the goings on in the BYU Network wall.

(Gee, now my anonymity is reduced to 20 people or so.)

Nah, there are only 10 guys out of the 20, and I am assuming you are a guy (although I could be wrong, and if so, I apologize)

And out of those 10, only 7 have posted anything... and if you didn't bother to post there, then why would you bother to plug?

On the other hand, that board was interesting... silly people who get worked up over Kirby's personal life. Honestly, outside of mormons, no one even knows who he is

I'm thinking you might belong to a board related group...

Wow, I've just been caught! I now have to reconsider my membership...

Sorry, I was actually directing that to Nanti. It's really late, and I can't think so straight.

I got that, after I made the post :P. Actually, if I were conscious, I think I would have gotten it, so it was my mistake... oh well, I agree that is it getting late.

Either way, although that is an easy way to trace him, being a part of the byu 100 hour board group ties you to the board which could eventually tie your two names together! :O
