I often see people that are out in a pub, or at a friends that seems to always be on face book.I think that it is rather rude for someone to be on face book, while they have gone to visit a person, or a person that is out and about with friends.Do you think that face book is the only thing that some people have in their lives, also do you think that it is like drink and that they maybe hooked.

i hate facebook!! i use it only to keep in touch with people but it has taken over so many peoples lives and i think the statistics are that 1 in 4 divorces in USA mention online social sites as a reason.. i definitely think its an addiction and i was addicted for awhile till i realized i was wasting time i needed to use elsewhere and why the heck am i on there all the time?? i now update via cell phone texts so i dont have to go to the site so i wont end up wasting time on there.. a lot of fam and friends wanna check up on me (i have health issues) so i know i need to post something but honesty could care less!

People can order apps for their cell phones now and manners have gone long ago. People are ,as I said before, so selfish and self serving they care nothing about manners and I doubt parents are teaching them these things. And Facebook seems to fill their needs at this times because others like them on there too.

I think parents are responsible for teaching the manners. It is up to the child to use them. And the parents to put their children in situations to get experience in using them.

Sorry but i don't agree with you, parents are not responsible for bad manners of their child, every parents wants their children well mannered. Isn't it????

Facebook is such as modern life style today. Many people use it to socialize with others. It can be so useful to find our old friends in the net, but we should not forget to socialize with our neighbourhood.So, i don't understand why people waste their time just for facebook. There are a lot of interesting activities out there.

There are many people that use it, but there are many people that tend to use it or should i say go on it, when they are in a persons house that they have gone to visit.I think that it is very rude for people to be on face book when they have loads of time all the other times to be on it, but they sit in another persons house on the phone on it.Or worse still they go to see a friend just to use their internet to go on to face book.

Now facebook users are addicted to it, like a smoker addicted to the cigerate or drinker to drink. but it more than this, as we don't leave meal or water, like that people can stay away from the facebook. And i don't what they getting from there. If you know then please tell me.

I do think that there are people that go on there when ever they get time, but these people do face booking when they are on their own usually.I think that it is rude of a person to be on face book in another persons house, when they are going to see the person.I also think that people that tend to go to other peoples houses to use their internet to get onto face book are not great friends as they are just there to go on face book and not really there to see the other person.

There has certainly been plenty of debate regarding if facebook usage can be considered an addictive behavior. I suppose just like anything else, it is possible that this kind of thing could be considered addictive. However, we probably need to redefine how we determine that something is addictive. It is not enough to just suggest that spending many hours on facebook is an addiction. This is something that many of us do, and it doesn't seem fair to say that only a few hours a day is enough to deem someone to be an addict on something like this. However, it is interesting to see the number of people that have allowed this website to take over their lives. If it is seriously impacting their ability to just do everyday things, then it is probably something that needs to be addressed. However, we have all been guilty of taking a peek at facebook during times when we maybe shouldn't.

I know that there are a few people that like to pop on face book as well as pop off face book all day, but i do think that it is rather rude when a person go to another persons house and keeps looking on face book.I think that face book has got rather boring, as well as there is far too many people on there that are only on there to be nasty to other people.

I could agree that it is rude to be on Facebook while you are at suppose to be visiting with others. The only thing that I am not so sure of is that people are on there to be rude. Perhaps this has been something that you have experienced. I now personally that it is very rare that someone is rude to me on Facebook. I am not saying that it does not happen from time to time, but it is rare. It is interesting that you brought this up though. I do agree that people should remember to spend time with their friends in the real world and stop worrying about Facebook constantly.

Where I work,a college kitchen,I have excess to the computer lab. I see lots of students on Facebook while I'm down there! I think some students do more chatting on FAcebook then homework! I also know some people who are on it via through their cell phone! I am on it alot but it is not my whole life! I think in some cases it is a person's life! It can be addicting!

Hi Joystick, My friend is really crazy and she is all hours on FB. She sometimes say she forgot her breakfast morning as she was busy with FB. But I hardly spend 20 min on FB.

Well I am a facebook heavy user. I do not know why I am more attracted to facebook than other social networking sites. Maybe facebook is very interactive and at the same time it is simple. Normally if I go out with my friends or I have something to do, I don't really open my facebook.

I like FaceBook and it is a wonderful place to keep in touch with family and friends. However, being on it all the time is overkill. I know the kids use their phones to use FaceBook to keep in touch with their friends. But being at some ones house or at a bar? Thats way too much.

Yes,I've seen people spending a lot of time on Facebook,and now that social networks are available on all sorts of mobile phones I see people who use it very often,probably because they want to keep their friends up to date with everything they do.It's clear to me that those people are addicted to Facebook and can't live without for a single day,which is very alarming for them.Anyway,since there is therapy for internet addiction,I'm sure new methods will appear that will be dedicated to cure p0eople of facebook addiction,or maybe they will get bored of it one day and try other things.

Through facebook people can communicate easily. There are friends from the past that you will find again. It is user friendly. The commands are easy to use. It contains a lot of applications. You can't go easily bored, if you got facebook.

I can never understand why people get hooked in facebook. I do have account in fb but it can never make me stay longer than 10 minutes there. No doubt fb has become a popular social networking site today but it is nothing more than a site for gossips and showing off to the world personal photos. Definitely fb is not my cup of tea.

I have experienced this a lot with my friends and other facebook members. Sometimes when I reply they seem to be online but dont reply... There are few people who understand such things this makes them have a negative feeling of the person. I remember I have this friend of mine who is always online for 24 hours he attends his classes as well as do his daoly activites but he seems to reply when I chat so it differs from person how they react and such things.

yes, facebook is addictive. I see many of my friends as victims of this social website. My officemates, the first thing they'll do when they arrive in the office is to check their facebook. I can't blame them. It is a good site and have some cool games.

Facebook can actually be quite addicting to some people. Many of us use it as a social networking site, as a way to meet new people, or as a way to keep in touch with relatives and friends. I personally use it as a unique way to keep in touch with my family and friends that I don't get to see often.

everyone is practically glued to this kind of sites, facebook, twitter, etc the reason why some can't take their eyes off of it is because of how each minute a new update would arrive, a fresh info about anything.

it is definitely true that many are being hooked on facebook. well, it's a social network and a way to communicate with friends near and afar. however, too much on this can make one addictive. especially that we are in a world of progressing technology, we can not only access facebook thru personal computers, but also in using other gadgets like cell phones, i phones, etc. somehow, we can prevent ourselves not to be addicted. we just need to discipline ourselves and find other ways to communicate with our friends. a short visit may do. have a good chat with a cup of tea or coffee. in this way, we can help in minimizing those individuals who are now becoming addicted to facebook.
