"Robert why aren't you on facelessbook? Oh everyone is on there, keep in touch with people, brag about yourself to people that don't give a crap, show your trophies be prideful..."
Oops sorry, stated some people's hidden reasons for being on that crap.
Nope sorry, not interested.
"But it will help your business, start one for your business than someone can message you on FB at 2 in the morning instead of emailing like a normal human being."
Nope sorry, not interested.
The Southpark episode about facebook truly seemed to hit the nail on the head. All the kids get sucked into it except Stan who even states "I don't want to get sucked in."
Back in the day, if someone wanted to gather info about you, they had to actually work- who does he associate with, times and places, where does he work, family life, morals, etc. etc. Now people post that stuff on FB and the "christmas tree" that used to do on a pegboard with printed pics is now right on one page for all to see.
How many "militias" have FB pages? Oh you "friended" them one time 100 years ago? Your a terrorist. What about American Family Radio? Chick-Filla, your favorite conservative station, Christian author? Your a bad, bad person, you probably beat homos with a stick regularly and are probably not taking "pride month" seriously. God forbid you also believe a child shouldn't be murdered in the womb or even fresh out of the womb. You have guns? Oh yeah caused you posted pics of you shooting with your "militia" group and don't forget all those "molon labe" memes you posted. Yeah, it's there forever...
It's interesting to see educators I know who have beat the drum for Facebook for a decade start backing off, de-friending long time friends that post stupid crap, etc. They aren't stupid, they are starting to understand who you associate with (or seem to) is important TO THEIR JOB.
If you've already taken the plunge and are "sucked in" it's probably time to start altering your trail. Don't just stop, that looks worse. Start slowly laying a false trail then maybe after six months cease using the platform. Perhaps your into boats and boating now instead of those "nasty guns." A dozen or so pics from a marina, boat dealer and some convincing stories to back each pic up. Evidently there is places on there to sell things also, perhaps you list some of those evil guns you have there, you know to fund your new boat, then a week later post "Sold!" This is easy to do in your local newspaper as well- keep a copy for future reference if you catch my drift.... There is lines there to read between for the slower to catch on types....
Guys I have a more than sneaking feeling that laying a false trail like this if your already "sucked in" is going to be very important in the future.
