1: I love FB because I found my rescue puppy Jaxson on it and I can't imagine my life without him.
2: I loath FB because of all the negative news links friends post that are nothing but gloom and doom.

I love FB because it has enabled me to stay close with my extended family in NY. I hadn't seen many of them since childhood, but now we're able to share photos and stories and reminisce. I love it.
I loathe FB because I can see the negative impact it has on some people. In my case, a friend of mine. She's just not able to do it in a healthy way, IMO. She shares too much, gets involved in too many dramas---I can't keep track of how many times she has deleted her account and then returned again to start back with bad habits.

I love fb for how it lets me connect to people, groups, and ideas...
I hate fb because I spend just as much time trying to figure out and manage my security as I do on the good stuff...lol

I love Facebook because I get links to all sorts of things I would never find on the interwebs myself.
I hate Facebook because of all the political stuff that is posted.

I love that we can keep up with our family. We live far from most of our family and it really keeps us up to date on what is going on.
I hate that some people are so whiney. And I dislike the trouble makers.

Love it because I've reconnected with several friends from high school and college, as well as former students who are now all grown up with kids of their own.
Loath it because some people take it much too seriously, like a popularity contest that they must win.

I love facebook because I can keep in touch with people I wouldn't normally. I'm not a huge caller or texter for just chit chat or what not, so facebook allows me to communicate.
I hate facebook because of the political crap that people post. I live in a small, rural (aka conservative) town and I am a teacher with a whole bunch of liberal friends (And I am more liberal than conservative on most subjects). I can't stand the petty posts.

I love FB because of the groups I belong to. I loathe it because of bragging "Hi, I'm going on ANOTHER cruise because my husband cheats the IRS and pays no taxes so we can afford EVERYTHING!!!!!!"  |

Love it because it connects me with family and friends on an almost daily basis, which normally wouldn't happen since we're all in different states.
Loathe it because so many people air their dirty laundry. Some of them the very friends I was excited to reconnect with.

Love it because I can stay connected to family from Central America, and I've actually gotten closer to some people because I interact with them more on fb than I ever would have in real life.
LOATHE that some people use it as their platform for whatever they're passionate about. MLM parties, anti vaccine, pro life, pro choice, pro vaccine.

Love it because it's an easy way to keep in touch with people I wouldn't be in touch with otherwise. Hate it because....actually don't hate it for any reason. I have a few vaguebookers, one who constantly posts inspiring quotes but nothing awful. Maybe I just don't have enough friends  |

I love Facebook because it helps me keep in touch with family and friends. I love that I've developed my relationship with a much younger cousin who lives far away. It's just awesome!
I loathe Facebook because...politics. I've seen vile, sometimes erroneous/inflammatory crap from both sides of the political spectrum. I hate it. I
n general I loathe the not-factual memes or misquoted things that get posted. Things I used to go to Snopes for back in the day when things like that were emailed around.
This quote was attributed to Alan Rickman a few years ago:
“When I'm 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I'll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, 'After all this time?' And I will say, 'Always.'”
It was all over the web. A bunch of my FB friends shared it. But he never said it! From what I gather, a HP fan wrote this and put it together with Rickman's face. Just bugged me that it was shared over and over...and it wasn't him.

I love it because it makes it easy to stay connected with my family, especially my oldest dd. I loath it because of all the pretend friend requests. People who knew me in my past or are acquainted with me now who are just curious about what I post and have no real interest in my life. The old high school classmates who can bother to friend me in the first place, but not aknowledge me in any way shape or form for five years after that are the worst. Yes, I know I wasn't popular in HS. No need to rub it in again.  I cleaned up my friends list and it helps. |

I love it because it helps keep me connected to people I don't see often if at all.
I loathe it because of all the hate on the ice bucket challenge going on right now.

I like it because of the groups I've been able to join that helps feed my creative nature  I love it because through it I am able to keep up with family and friends that I would not normally be hearing from on a regular basis.  I'm disappointed in it because my two 20-something sons who live four hours away, have deserted it and I'm no longer able to see what they're up to on a regular basis.  I loath it because I'm seeing a side of people I never knew existed. In some cases I was better off not knowing.  |

Oh yes selfies! I have a friend that I kid you not changes her profile pix 5x a week. And they are all the EXACT same pose. Left arm up high, slight turn of the head and smile for the camera. And she's 52!!!!!
I went to her photos and counted over 40 selfies all the same pose. If she posts she's at a party, she will still post a selfie. Not anyone at the party or not someone else at last taking her pic
My granddaughter takes selfies. She's cute. She's 18. That I can understand!!!

I love it because I have found many old friends this way. I hate it for vague postings and when old friends all of a sudden close their accounts for no apparent reason (well there could be reasons I am not aware of and none of my business.. but have had two old friends close their accounts and then I wonder why and what happened.. and I don't think it has anything to do with me...cause I am not a huge poster of political or personal crap...stuff like that.. an occasion picture of the kids, a cute or funny status update here and there...) but then I am sad not able to see them if I wanted..  |

The reason I started this post was because my adult son was so tired of the ice bucket posts, yes wonderful way to bring awareness but it does get annoying, that he swore off FB for a week.
I hate a lot of the rants, vague posts, political and gloom and doom stuff. But I don't think I could stay away for a week.
My granddaughter is in Vancouver with her boyfriend and I'd miss seeing all her beautiful pictures.
Nope, I couldn't stay off for a week. I don't post much at all but I do enjoy seeing what my friends are up to.

I enjoy FB because I genuinely enjoy seeing pics and getting updates on friends and family that I don't talk to or see on a regular basis. It allows me to keep up with what's going in their lives even though we don't get together that often. I love FB because we found our Australian Shepherd through a garage sale site where someone posted that they couldn't afford to keep her. She's the best!  What I hate about FB? Some people are just idiots. Some people overshare their private lives. Some people are way too opinionated and feel super confident blowing up on someone through a keyboard. Finally, it irritates me to see how many people really can not spell.  |

I love FB because I live far from family, so I can get a peek at their life. I've reconnected with some old friends. I have seen some cute, cute, cute videos on there and connected to some groups to learn about some interests I have.
I hate FB because some of those old friends never acknowledged me in any way. I even sent them private messages and never heard a word back. It seems like there's a lot of fakeness on there too.
