		Breivik and Holmes weren't on Facebook. Conclusion: no Facebook = mass-murdering sociopath!
		People who have no Facebook account are suspicious and shouldn't be employed
		Women shouldn't have sex with people who aren't on Facebook. They might lie about their name!
		It's a reason for concern if people meet their friends & family in real life and not on Facebook
		Someone without a Facebook account must have something to hide and should be investigated by the FBI

From the Daily Mail:

Facebook has become such a pervasive force in modern society that increasing numbers of employers, and even some psychologists, believe people who aren't on social networking sites are 'suspicious.'

The German magazine Der Tagesspiegel went so far as to point out that accused theater shooter James Holmes and Norwegian mass murder Anders Behring Breivik have common ground in their lack of Facebook profiles.

On a more tangible level, Forbes.com reports that human resources departments across the country are becoming more wary of young job candidates who don't use the site.

The common concern among bosses is that a lack of Facebook could mean the applicant's account could be so full of red flags that it had to be deleted.

Slate.com tech reporter Farhad Manjoo wrote in an advice column that young people shouldn't date anyone who isn't on Facebook.

'If you’re of a certain age and you meet someone who you are about to go to bed with, and that person doesn’t have a Facebook page, you may be getting a false name. It could be some kind of red flag,' he says.

Facebook is a data collection monster. They want to know everything about you, so they (the corporatists) can control you with targeted propaganda and advertising.

And they want to know everything about everyone. That is why they are now starting to spread the lie that not having your entire life open to the corporatists by joining fecesbook makes you strange, or mentally ill.

The greatest threat to freedom is not government anymore. It is corporations.

Suspicious? No.

People are just the smart and actually have a life. I would not patronize a site where a scumbag like zuckerberg, which first stole an idea of a site and then stole thousands and thousands of people information to pad the stolen new site, ends up calling anyone that use the site a very derogatory name like this

http://www.theregister.co.uk/...

For me, this is just like walking into a local store, you shop around, maybe pick up something to buy and then the owner walks up to up and calls you some derogatory name.

I sure would not ever go back into that store again just because of that. It is the same as what zuckerberg has done when he called everyone that uses his site (correction, stolen site) the derogatory name that he did.

Another thing;

I see alot that say "Well,I like to keep in touch with old classmates, friends, and my family"

Well here's a novel idea ( ha ): Pick up the phone, write an e-mail, write a regular letter ( if you can still write), better still, get off your lazy fat ass and go see your family and friends....Heck, get a life folks. It really isn't that hard to do.

Beleive it or not, I can still do all those things I just mentioned above, mainly because I do have a real life and I sure do not need to go on a site such as facebook which was stol...

I use facebook to make small chat with out-of-town family. But, I don't think anyone who doesn't use the site or any social site is "Crazy". I know several very social friends that just hate conversing over the internet, they prefer face-to-face interaction. What would be the problem with that?

When did this happen? Personally, I never had a Facebook account because I don't really see the point. If I want to connect with friends & family, I pick up the phone. I also see no reason to share my personal information with Zuckerberg and with any company that he sells it to.

I've never had a facebook account because I figure it's all a big fad. It seems like people I know are using it less and less now too.

People who social network too much on the internet have practically no social life in the real world. Facebook is a disease if you ask me.

Sorry if that was in bad taste. I guess it would be funny because I'm not much of a fan of Zuckerberg.

Edited to add: The image shows Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, not Holmes. I only now realize that the two look kind of similar. I thought Zuckerberg's face would be better recognizable
