It's probably the most pathetic website on the internet. A place for vain and pathetic teenagers to bitch about eachother and talk about the most pointless things.

I only use it to talk to people who I wouldn't be able to contact in any other way.

But if you start denying your family it just seems like it turns into the South Park episode.  "So Stan your grandma added you as friends are you going to add her?"

I was apart of it when it was college students only.  It only seemed to get worse when high school students then everybody joined.  It ruined the college vibe.  I wouldn't have even minded if they forced you off the network once you lost your .edu email address.

I'm sure plenty of relationships have started because of it too, but you ignore that aspect.  Not to mention, what is it about Facebook that is "ruining" these relationships?  Is it a naughty picture that the girl or guy shouldn't have seen?  Well maybe they shouldnt have been together anyways.  Is it an obsessive guy or girl?  Well if somebody can't get over this fact and be trustful with their boy/girlfriend, maybe they shouldn't have been together in the first place.

Also, thought I would mention, my profile (I just looked again, to make sure) has it so only my friends can tag me in stuff.  If somebody is being obsessive, delete them from your friends list.  Not only this, you can specifically go into your privacy settings, and not let specific friends do things on your profile.

I would add my grandma if she had a facebook...not like it is a big deal...if you wouldn't want them to see certain things, it is extremely easy to block content from a friend on facebook.

Sounds like a lot of micro managing.  I know they somewhat improved the privacy page but it probably is still scattered throughout numerous pages.  It is like they want it to be hard to locate everything just so the average users won't even try.  Hell, I couldn't even find out how to delete my account till I finally found the page from Google.  They make it easy as hell to disable your account but to actually delete it you almost have to jump through hurdles on their page to find the right link.

everything is cool once and then goes down the drain

age,a very interesting concept

It is actually all on one super easy page.  You just click your name in the upper right, and go to privacy settings.  Literally everything is laid out in a super easy to understand manner.  No extra page loading, it will all just be either on screen drop down menus or a small pop up box that you can set up some custom settings.  I haven't looked at it in ages before today, but am quite impressed to say the least.

I never did. Everyone can hide certain stuff from certain people.

For example, My family members  doesn't  know that I put "agnostic" in the religion space. They simply don't have access to it, it doesn't show up. I can also hide certain posts, links , photos from them. I choose "show to all except family" and so on.

The world forces you to have Facebook if you want to get anything done.

I wish it was otherwise. Or at least that it was a distributed system like the Internet, not under the control of a single for-profit entity that can change on a whim of its shareholders.

So guys I heard there's another emerging social networking site, it's called myspa---oh wait...
