Avoid/Cancel Facebook?

[Ivan]

I rarely have seen an offensive ad on Facebook. In fact, I can't remember any at this moment.

Why is that?

I'm with you Ivan! I can't remember any either! Do you own a mac?

I'm on there but I get bored quickly. I never do the stupid games or "pokes." I check it about once a week just to keep up with freinds and family, unless someone emails me on there.

I take offense to all the ads on facebook, but I am kind of a whiner sometimes.

I can understand why many people are cautious about FB....I've come across A LOT of inappropriate material as well, and at times I've thought about deactivating my account. I've decided to stay with it though, because it has been the best way to keep in touch with so many friends all over the country and other parts of the world as well. I think one of the major sources of viruses are the different apps and quizzes that people are always passing along. I haven't had any problems yet, however, a couple of my friends have had viruses.

I haven't seen anything inappropriate really & I ignore the ads (which are pretty small anyway). I pretty much just had this one problem - but it was a pretty big headache. It sent messages to all 150+ people on my friends list - the message was crude & the link contained a virus.

I trust that anyone who actually knows me also knows that I'd never say or send anything like that, but it's still disconcerting.

This questions sounds (to me) a lot like asking if pastors should or shouldn't occasionally enjoy a beer. Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the man.

As far as Facebook goes . . . if you can be vigilant and careful re: what you click or don't click, then Facebook away. If not, then away with Facebook.
