Part of me is jealous and the BIGGER part of me is lamely fascinated by FB's worth and value and how they throw money around here and there, often frivolously,...........all based off a shitty website with little security, no flow and a slew of nonsense time-wasters that people are mysteriously drawn to for some odd reason.

I have a whopping 29 friends and login to FB MAYBE once every 4-6 months.......if that.

Jealousy stems from my desire to start up a lame, UGLY, rather incoherent website that attracts hoards of mindless, unproductive, time-wasting MORONS.

Yes you make tons of sense...not.
Facebook has helped people build massive businesses and followings. It is no different than using commercials to draw in buyers of new product. This isn't Facebook from 2008. Advertisers make a killing using FB, i should know. Also, some of the morons that are on Facebook are also some of the smartest morons because many page owners are scientist, doctors, computer engineers, professors, stupidly successful marketers so forth and so on.

Yes i see your point that every person that has a FB account is a moron.


This is superman
