I know facebook has a lot of downside from many point of view. It already make many relationship goes into trouble, it make people hate each other, it already spread rumor, hoax and false news. It already make people addicted to it that they forget real life.
But despite that many downside, facebook also has many positive side. It smooth communication, it help people meet old friend and get to know new people. Facebook has many function that have a positive effect.
Despite that many positive effect, i have seen a lot of people ( most people in the internet ), claim to hate facebook so much. They hate it that they make fun about the site and all it's user. They usually do this in forum or blog.
Do you ever met people like this? What do you think about them?

I never have a FB account not because I hate it, but because it's just something I have no interest in whatsoever. Moreover, almost everyone I know, my family and friends all do FB; and I certainly never put them down in any way for using FB. I suppose I'm not a FB hater; just a disinterested one.

Well yes, sishy7. I have no problem with people who not interest in facebook. It is up to them, whether they want to use facebook or not. What i hate is people who hate facebook so much, that they start looking down on every single person that use facebook. It is really a sad thing if we see people do that.

Hi lord,
As far as you know, are there many who really dislike FB and also looking down on those who use it? I've always thought that majority of people are FB users, so those who hate it must be in the minority. But I suppose even small number of people could still start a hate campaign; but I'd imagine they have a long way if their purpose is to bring FB down. Unless they have other plan in mind? Are they just trying to stir things up and spread hate among people?

Hi lordcaocao2025, I sometimes hate Facebook too because of what I often see on my news feed. Many people do not think twice about their posts and often forget that what they post is being seen by hundreds or even thousands of friends, resulting to conflict, insults, or damages to relationships. In addition, many of my friends post statuses and pictures depicting great things about themselves too often that they already appear very narcissistic or showy. Majority of people just want to project themselves in such a way that suggest their achievements are much greater than they really are, a behavior I find very silly.
However, I must also confess that Facebook has made my life easier. My lifestyle doesn't allow me to be always be open to socializing face to face with my friends, and Facebook has made my communication with friends a breeze. Sharing information has never been so easy if not because of Facebook. Organizing events and get-together became easy as well. It's just that many people abuse the information they share and that's what makes Facebook irritating at times.

I think it is kinda wrong to hate facebook for something that the user do. If you should hate, i think you should hate people that use facebook for the wrong purpose, for thing that you don't like. Off course with many advantage that facebook have, you can blame facebook for all the wrong doing of the user.

Well since facebook are use worldwide, there is something that might be inappropriate in one country, and might be appropriate in other. So i think it will be hard to make a manual of that. Even etiquette is different in a group of people. So i think people should think for themselves about what should be post and what not should be post.

Hi lordcaocao2025, perhaps your right. No matter how useful something is, people could still use it in the worst ways possible. So everything invented for our convenience shouldn't be taken for granted. I wish there would be a manual on Facebook etiquette.

I haven't met anyone who hate Facebook yet. Facebook is a good site for connecting with friends, family...why do some guys hate it?
On Facebook, we also can earn money from it if we know the way. I opened my Facebook profile in the beginning time of Facebook and i have no plan to remove it yet. it is really good for me to update friends' information.
Anyone has a right to choose this site, that site, so that i don't mind with anyone who hate Facebook also.

Well facebook is a social networking site. It has many function, and the function it self can be use for good purpose, or bad purpose. It all back to the user who use it. So i don't think you will get something from hating facbeook. Thanks for your respond my friend.

Those who hate Facebook are narrow minded. Why do they hate the site? It's not the site's fault if they see something negative posted on their wall. It's their friends' fault and theirs as well. If there's no Facebook, they'll blame Twitter and other networking sites. If there are no networking sites, they'll blame cellphone.
For me, Facebook is a great help to its members. In my case, I can always see new pictures of my two nephews whom I see in person once a year, sometimes once every two years. I can also send messages to my siblings.

Yes, i agree with you. Most of them are narrow minded. I think they only search for thing to blame. Maybe they got nothing better to do but hating thing. They can only see a negative site of something that they are forgotten ( or cannot see ) that facebook also has many positive site.

Well yes butterscotsh, it might be right. That is what i meant by making thread and discussion in forum about hating facebook and it's user. But in mylot, i think i only seen people who tell hate for the site it self, not all the user inside it. Thanks for your respond.

Hello friend,
Yes I also hate the facebook site. I love the mylot site. Because here you learn many things with earning some money.
Have a nice day.

Well yes, but i think facebook and mylot is a very different thing. Facebook is a social networking site. It is a place where you can communicate with old friend, meeting new friend, playing apps. Mylot is more like a forum than a social networking sites. So i think it is not apple to apple to compare both of them. Anyway, have you also make fun of facebook in the internet?

oh.. i do see facebook and bloopers and posts or funny facebook stuffs in 9gag mostly... i guess it really depends on the people.
We can hate it, we can love it, and have so much more opinions of it - but that depends really on the person's experience with the site... especially of course if they have been mistreated in the site.

Yes i agree with you, We can hate facebook, we can love facebook, and have so much opinions of facebook - but that depends really on the person's experience with the site. I think it doesn't matter if you hate or love facebook, as long as you not make fun of facebook and all its user.

I don't know why people hate Facebook. I don't see any point hating something that has connected people that you have not seen over how many years now. It's a good way to find what's going on with people and it's a great venue for each one to meet old friends.
I think it depends on how you use the site. MyLot wouldn't be something that you'd like if you don't participate and earn. In the same way, Facebook would only be a waste of time if you use it to waste your time.
It's not about negativity. There will always be two sides of the coin and sometimes we need to give ourselves a break from negativity. Facebook or other social networking sites are just venues, it's up to us who use it to make it a good place or bad place to be in. I don't see anything wrong with them.
As for those haters, well, you will always have them. It's up to you if you'd read and believe in what they say. They always say that misery loves company, that's why they're the cancers of the world, all they do is complain yet they have done nothing to make the world a better place.
Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Well yes, my friend. I really agree with you. There is no point of hating the site. The site it self ( facebook ) is not a bad thing. It is simply a tools that have so many function. Even the user who misuse it was not worth to be hated for. It just a waste of time to spent much time and energy for something that not really important. Thanks for your respond my friend.

I don't hate facebook. I like it actually. But the changes they are doing are making me kind of... you know uncomfy... it's beginning to become commercialized... and took advantage by capitalists.. making crappy games that you should like this and that and also weird people making weird fanpages.
I mean... it lost it's old aura that's it's purely clean and just meant for socializing. Now it's used for business and such already.

Well yes, facebook now has changed so much. The time line actually make facebook worse, especially since it was kinda forced too. Off course i still use the old view, but sooner or later, facebook will changed that view to time line view. But i don't think it is really a big deal to make people hate facebook so much.

I hate facebook. I hate it because its another place people waste their time looking for some old friends who forgot them at some time in the past and at the same time forgetting about the people that are around them at present moment, the ones that really respect them. Facebook shows how stupid people could be - putting more and more pictures to see others reactions, writing stupid stuff, quoting things they don't fully understand and all that just to be noticed, it seems people around the world just don't get the necessary attention every day and that's why they become addicted to facebook.
Are there people making blogs and forums against facebook?! I wouldn't waste time to create forum or blog for something I hate, I don't see the point in such cause. Witty people does not need anyone else to convince them, they just measure the facts for themselves.

Well thanks for sharing your though with us. There are a lot of people in this world, and every person have different interest and different view about having fun. Some might see facebook as a fun place while other see it as a waste of time. I think both is okay, as long as each of them still respect each other.

I have never met people or bunch of people who hate facebook a lot. I think they're just wasting their time to make fun of the site or create a forum just to do that. It will cost their productive time, so they better be focus on something more important. If I ever met someone like them I'll tell that if you don't like it then just get over it, forget in and move on .

Yes i agree with you, I think they're just wasting their time too. Make fun of the site or create blog just to make fun of it, is total waste. Also a little correction, what i meant is people don't create forum to make fun of facebook, but they actually posting in forum to make fun of facebook. Thanks for your respond in this discussion my friend.

Facebook is just a tool for us to communicate with others in internet.With technic progress, we had touch kinds of different social interaction device such as letter, telegrah,broadcast, telephone, internet.Why we hate these device and tool which are goog for our living.The negative informaton send by someone who have ill attitude.When you come into some condition like forum site,community site, and chat room site.you always meet some bad and evil influence words. Behind these there are many living people to control.So we need to classify between site and people action words.
You can control your homepage stay away from these person. you can choose don't log into facebook accout. Why do you hate facebook.Anyone can't disorder your life.Everything under your arrangement is common and peace.

Yes, i agree with you. Facebook is just a tool, it is a tool for communication, for meeting people, for having fun, playing game and a tool for many other function. So it is useless to hate the site. Also i don't think by hating the user who misuse the facebook will give them any good. Hatred usually only created bad thing. Thanks for your respond my friend.

Hello!! I think those hate facebook is not right at all!! We don't need to!! It is such a social network. If you don't like facebook, you can use other social network like twitter. I think facebook has many positive effect than negative.We can connect with long time no see ones.. But sometimes overusing of it leads to negative effect. But it's all up to you. Nearly all of my friends and my family like using facebook because they can meet their friends and chat. For me, I have my facebook account but very close friends on my facebook and I uses sometimes.When my friends go to abroad, we can see their photos and chat.It's great!! Whether positive or negative effect, it's totally depend on you. I don't like extreme.

Well it is very true. I do understand facebook, it gives so much freedom for it's user. So don't hate all the facebook user, if you want to hate, hate only the few person that misuse facebook. Sometime, that use facebook for cheating, spreading lie, upload bad photos, etc.

I am a facebook user, neither am I addicted to it nor do I hate it for any reason. I think its a good site where we can find our old school mates and make new friends. It was only once that I received some weird comments from a facebook friend who was a stranger, but was in my friend list. I warned her not to comment like that, but she didn't listen so I finally deleted her from my friend list.

Well thanks for your respond Inderjeetkaur. If you have a stranger in your friendlist, and he / she do weird thing or thing that you don't like, it is wise to actually remove that person from your friendlist. Don't want him / her to ruin your reputation by making strange status or comment.

Well, I am one of them. I simply hate Facebook...for many reasons that I cannot speak about. It did serve its purpose, in that I reconnected with many people I knew from the past etc. I spent about 3 months on it (too long if you ask me).
My main gripe with Facebook is the way it manipulates you with the information that it feeds you 'intuitively'...just oiling that corporate machine. I felt that it takes too much time, your information is not secure etc...But what really irked me was when they introduced the Timeline interface.
I really did not like that they made it COMPULSORY. What happened to freedom of choice? This is when I tried to delete my account only to find out that that is not an option in their world. I took the next best option and that was the deactivate my account. They still keep the information.
So, there you are. When a platform such as Facebook does not give you an option to CHOOSE the interface that you want...but they decide for you. I show the finger, as I felt eff Timeline.
So, what anyone thinks of me or anyone else that does not like Facebook...well, that is really none of my business. The only reason I wrote this here...was because you asked. I am pretty zen about most things but I do not like being dictated to.

Well so you hate facebook because it tell you to choice timeline. Also because the information is not secure. I think in many social networking site, information usually never secure, that is why i suggest people not to upload confidential information. As for time line, well if you don't like it, you should leave facebook. I actually also not like timeline, and until now, i still use the old wall system. Although i hate time line, i don't hate facebook, i just hate one of it's function. And even when they changed my wall into timeline ( i hope not soon ), i think i still use facebook. I use facebook, mostly for communication and met new people, time line just a skin and i think i can live with that.

I honestly don't identify with people who hate facebook or those who are addicted to the site.
I'm neutral about it. I don't necessarily log in every day but I like having my account and being able to see photos that have been uploaded by friends and family members.
I think some people go to extremes. Fortunately...I am able to balance it all.

Well it is good to be neutral. So you will not give much though about people who hate facebook so much. But what happened when you met people like that. Especially those who make fun of all of facebook user. What you gonna do if they are comment in a forum. Thanks for your respond.

I think the main problem that I have with Facebook isn't actually Facebook's fault at all. It's the people who use Facebook. Many people look at Facebook as the ultimate social game. The person with the most friends is the "cool guy" or "cool girl". If someone takes you off of their friends list, it's the end of the world and you can't talk to them anymore. In fact, most people go so far as to hating each other when this happens. It's driven me insane with the amount of immaturity I see and hear about from that website (from ALL ages, not just the younger crowd), I simply had to leave. Like someone mentioned earlier, you can't simply leave Facebook, so I just stopped using it. I removed it from my computer's bookmarks, and removed my username and password from my phone's app so it wouldn't send me reminders, but now people continuously ask me why I haven't logged in, responded to their comments, or "liked" their pictures. My verbal responses are, "Grow up and act your age."

Well thanks mjfunk. yes you are right, it is the user and not the facebook that are at fault. People who misuse facebook, people that obsessed with facebook are the one at fault. Also like you said, hatting feacebook and complain about it like a baby is something that really immature.
