I think I hate Facebook. Wait, I know I hate Facebook. Hate is a strong word I try to reserve for times I really mean it. Such as, war, cancer, my commute and Facebook.

I realize the easy answer is to do away with my account but…

At least 3% of posts I genuinely enjoy.

• I like the 1% of keeping in “touch” with old, old friends. Even if it is in a bullshitty, not real way.


• At least 1% of people I’m bullshitty friends with post really funny stuff. Really funny stuff that enriches my day.


• And I like the 1% of posts that make me feel superior to the complete foolishness others seem to not only endure, but publicize.

The 97% hate is made up of:

• Checking-in places (15%)


• Posts about your workout (5%)


• Bible thumping (50%)


• Inspirational quotes (10%)


• Live Facebooking any event, especially sports or your vacation (10%)


• Liking corporations / redeeming offers (5%)


• *NEW* Liking FB’s version of a chain letter (2%)

While poor taste is beginning to rank, I have been so moved by my distaste as to delete some people. So far I’ve lost two to homophobia disguised as Christianity and one to racism not disguised at all. 

I realize I’ll have to adjust my buckets as people keep upping the ante on awful.

Already, I realize I didn’t allot any percentage for eCards.

I’m pretty sure I need more than 100% to make these numbers work.
