OMG!!! Someone in Tulsa used Facebook to call the police

When it comes to my feelings on Facebook, what was once "enthusiasm" has slowly dwindled down to "indifference" and nowadays usually "annoyance." Sure, it's a good place to deposit mediocre pictures that are worth keeping but don't quite make the cut for Instagram. A well-placed "Like" is an easy way to show support for an acquaintance's impending nuptials without having to actually spend money on a gift. Facebook is also a great medium for figuring out which of your high school crushes now work at Quiktrip and thought getting a large koi fish tattoo on their forearm was a sound idea. Also, there was one point in my life (and by "in my life," I mean the semester I participated in OU's Integrated Business Core) that I really enjoyed plowing virtual fields and growing cyber pumpkins, and would celebrate the miracle of germination by semi-regularly publicizing my Farmville net worth on my Facebook wall.

Those are some useful things about Facebook, but as we all know, Facebook has now pretty much been reduced to a gigantic collection of irritating garbage. For example, I don't know what kind of f#$&tards think it's kosher to argue about politics or religion on another person's wall. I've never been much of a fan of naked baby photos, making peace signs in group snapshots, or "checking in" while running mundane errands. I don't have time to attend an event in Denver (but thanks for the invite), and I was a little embarrassed to reveal to the world that the person I was once "In A Relationship" with might have had "Danger" as a middle name. I'm not exactly one to promote douchebaggery, so Facebook is no longer really for me.
