I would be one that doesn't know the ending I won't spoil it but an interesting fact is that Chris was good friends with Marcus Luttrell (Lone Survivor). That's another must see movie that's already available to rent. I won't spoil that one either but the title alone summarizes his story perfectly. That was an excellent movie

3. Posting ANYTHING that ends with 'repost if you agree...I know 95% don't have the guts' makes me think you are a tool. Reposting some bullshit cut and paste message you saw on someone else's page doesn't make you brave. Believe it. Ain't nobody shaming me into reposting some canned status.

I truly believe that for lots of people, facebook feeds into this weird narcissistic need to be noticed AT ALL TIMES. 5:00 am (waking up) take picture 5:01 am (pooping in th toilet) It's soft! take picture 5:02 am (brushing my teeth) Do these PJ's make me look fat? take picture 5:03 am (getting dressed) OMG I'm so fat!! Maybe I should lay off the food? What do you think? take picture 5:04 am (going to work)FML. I need to marry rich. take picture (frowning) 5:05 am (inside my Benz)(even though everyone knows your credit needs Jesus and you only have it cause your momma paid for it. Such a hard life!!! (take picture) I find facebook exhausting. I truly do. I don't need to know about every facet of your life instantaneously. Honestly, facebook makes me think of the quote "familiarity breeds contempt." I had such a different view of a lot of people until I read all the shit they post on facebook. Closet racists, bigots, religious fundamentalists, arrogance of (I"m always right you are always wrong), uncharitable and unkind things about people with disabilities, how many times I really get drunk (Like dude, really?), or the never ending "passive charitable work," like The bucket challenge anyone?" Go out there and do something for someone instead, dude. I have sort of made stance. I tried facebook, but I don't think I my life is so fucking fascinating or I am so brilliant that I have to post pictures of me you know, doing stuff like buying a Starbucks or at a party or my thoughts (with a stupid hashtag) about everything under the sun. No one needs to know OMG At this VERY PRECISE MOMENT, M IS IN NORTH CAROLINA LOOKING AT THE MORNING DEW WHILE PRAYING TO THE GODDESS #SOBLESSED. So, I'm not on facebook and don't allow my picture to be posted on facebook. Or any other type of social media. The most offensive person on my facebook page is one of my cousins. She (via her husband) is incredibly wealthy, yet she posts shit about "enlightenment," and "Humanity," and all this philosophical bullshit, when I know both she and her husband have stolen so much money from people and made so many crooked deals. Whatevs! Sorry. No need to be sorry, but I can honestly say I have never seen anyone on Facebook who has to post every second of their day. Everyone I know uses Facebook to keep in touch with people since we're all over the world. Yes, we post pictures of ourselves doing stuff but I don't think it's because we think we're so "fucking fascinating or brilliant", but because we feel like sharing that moment with the people we know. I don't really know how to explain it, but I've discovered that social media is an either/or thing. Not saying that you have to be on Facebook, but I think you may have seen some incredibly bad behaviour that is really in the minority. And I'm sorry. I think it's an excellent resource for staying in touch... not to mention it's helpful to my career.

I'm not even sure which news story this is about. All I know is that the main character was a sniper. Other than that, I got nothing.

God doesn't care who wins the NFL playoffs. I was happy for the team that won, but it wasn't because one team was more favored by God than the other. Really? Someone actually said that? Idiots!

They didn't say it in those words, but one person posted that her daughter said,"I love football. Because it's a way to watch God work." And then she said her daughter said that in the third quarter, and "faithlikeachild." And people replied that God worked big time in that game. Others were saying that the reason the team was great was because their players weren't afraid to give glory to God. Just things in general that I want to tell people to shut up already.

I post a lot about sports and if you weren't watching the game you might have no idea what I am talking about. Good thing my Facebook friends are mostly real life friends and family who get me or ignore me.

Right now, the one thing I want to post is "Learn the fucking difference between SELL and SALE." I won't because I don't want to be kicked out of the group but for fuck's sake people, you do not make sells; you make SALES. You do not sale something; you SELL something. And some of these people wonder why they're not selling anything on etsy or facebook. I want to smack each and every single woman in that group that uses sell and sale wrong.

Newsflash - You are not the first woman to:
-have a baby -love your baby -go back to work after a year or so -miss your baby while you're at work
I really do understand what it's like to be a new mom, to be a SAHM and a WOHM. But the entire Facebook universe really doesn't need to see daily updates about how hard it all is, along with screen shots from the nursery cam of "the other woman" (aka the nanny) rocking the 18 month old.

I tried to post this earlier and my post got eaten by the Internet. I said GET OUT OF MY HEAD. There is NO space for RENT. You are saying what I am thinking!!! Truly! I sell stuff in a store. There is stuff FOR SALE and ON SALE at the store I work in. You aren't SALING stuff. OMG this hurts me to even write it. Thank you for saying what I was thinking. It really bugs me. I see it *all the time*. I did sail last night though. On a ship. It is not a recommended way to move from one place to another. People SAIL on boats. Note spelling difference (I think I learned that in what grade 2?)

Ok, I do have a mean one now...
Joe, I love you, but 99% of your friends are the most backward-ass dumbfucks I have had the displeasure of conversing with on any social media site. I don't know how you manage to not murder someone from your friends list every effing day.

Please understand this; I am not trying to offend others who don't use proper grammar on FB. Its FB and not a place where perfect grammar is important. Me too! My 'friend' who doesn't have a degree in English gets all upset about my LOL Cat postings. Yes the grammar is incorrect I know this and have the damn degrees/experience in the subject to prove it. Stop posting that the grammar is wrong. Duh! I know this. My other nerdy friends know this and will gladly put you in your place. We derive entertainment from it. I post the LOL Cats because I like cats and they are funny! If it offends you then stop looking at them. For LOL Cats, that grammar IS correct!! LOL I know! This is why we laugh, and this person has a cat so I am confused even putting them on "hide" hasn't completely stopped it.

The site is called LOL Cats, though, isn't it? None of my friends correct grammar and the only correcting I do is in my head (I do do it all the time, though). It makes me crazy but I have found my Facebook Friends to be fun and interesting. They are a neat bunch.

Thank you OP for the opportunity to let it go: 1. No, MOM I don't NEED a FB page. I haven't had one yet and don't need one just to keep up with everyone's drama. I could care less. 2. Cousin who is 40 years old, who says "He asked for my digits" anymore? So 80's. 3. Cousin who is always commenting on my husband and I leaving because we "don't want to be around kids". No, we wanted to take a walk together, wanted to go enjoy the area, wanted to do something different. What is it any of your business anyway? 4. Stop asking for work to be done for free, IT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN! I know there is more but I didn't want to clog the board. I feel better now.

STOP re posting George Takei posts! Do you know how many people follow him on FB?!? It's more likely that half your friend list follows him ALREADY!

Are you stalking me? When I come on Facebook and see that you have liked 10 of my posts in a row it's a little bit creepy. I didn't think it was possible to feel more strange than when my mother does that, but yes coming from my husband's mother's cousin is even stranger.

I really really want to post 'Level 34 of Candy Crush.... F U!!! ' But I am slightly ashamed that I even play the dang game so I will never make a public announcement about how it is frustrating me at 1 a.m.
