    :confused:

    I don't really add people. I see a bunch of people I know but unless I tell them in person "HEY, I'LL ADD YOU ON FACEBOOK" I rarely do so.

    Unless I was or am a good friend with them, I don't. I take that back, I have become friends with a few people on here.

    its kinda creepy when you're talking with someone and they mention something you put on facebook. a few weeks ago I had to put some family on limited profile view, they found out I ditched hanging out with them and I went and got fucked up at a pool party instead. somehow it got around to my aunts/uncles and my mom too.

    I know that people are not being hired for certain jobs because of stuff they had put on their pages!

    It must be a mess on the wall when someone has like 1000 friends on there. that's crazy.

    I'm an old fart so very few of my friends are on facebook. I have an account just so that I can see what they post, but I will never post anything myself. I think it is a bit creepy, frankly. But then I think tattoos are creepy too. Did I mention I'm an old fart? No? Well, then get the hell off my lawn, punk!

    Yeah, its creepy when I see my aunts/uncles on teh facebook. I don't add them even when they request so. Also some people I deal with at work, I won't add. Co-workers..yeah, but people in other places I just keep on linkedin.

    I was cool once. But that was the 1970s, and I'm pretty sure at this point I'll never be cool again. Which is fine, because it doesn't seem too important anymore.

    I was just told the same thing about someone from my high school, which shouldn't' be surprising since we had a ton of strippers in my class.

    See, you're the complete opposite to me. My Facebook page is completely personal, I don't add any colleagues or people related to my job. My profile is completely limited if you aren't my friend just in-case my boss runs across my page. Everyone has inappropriate pictures on their Facebook -- I don't care if you're Mary-fucking-Poppins.

    In answer to your question, I have no problems adding people I know. Perhaps it's just because of my age group, but it's a little bit strange if you don't add people you know. Makes you look like a prick.

    I have about 30+ family members on Facebook -- It isn't much of a big deal. I just have to make sure I don't get on Facebook after a night of drinking because I know I'll fuck something up, heh. My mum and dad are both on there and they're generally (I use that loosely) pretty with keeping of my sheyat.

    I got conned into creating an account, but since I don't have any friends (or acquaintances for that matter) I haven't actually done anything with it ...

    Me and HCP are totally bros. I add people sometimes, but only if it's someone I actually have a reason to talk to. And then there's HCP.

    I hardly ever add anyone. I wait for people to add me. And if it's someone I don't know that is requesting to be added as my friend, I reject the request. But I only have around 12 Facebook friends.
