Bar Shattya I don’t know what a dolt is, so I feel weird calling people that. And wow two people have asked for my opinion on facebook? It’s my lucky day! I’ll copy and paste it my original post, but if you have time you should check out the rest of it!

We have all been trying to take things on l’iluy nishmas Leiby and I had this great idea that will really take off- deleteing your facebook! Facebook is the yetzer hora’s facade to stealing hours and days of your life to stalk other people, give people ayin horas, make people jealous of each other, and toher not tznius things. People justify it by saying they keep in touch with people, but people- is keeping in touch with those few people who you’re never going to actually get together with really worth tons fo time that could be dedicated to doing mitzos, helping others, davening, learning, and so many other prodcutive activities!! NO MY FRIENDS IT IS NOT WORTH IT!!!! I have seenw ith my own eyes tons and tons of people who waste their vies away on this horrible website. This is not fomr only a frum perspective- it’s from a rational intellectual perspective!! And I am also talking from experience- I have had a facebook and just found that it was extremely destructive. SO please everyone if you were trying to delete until now, or were thinking about it, or weren’t thinking about it, do it NOW for Leiby! It’s an easy thing to do and I did it, others have done it, and YOU can do it!!!!

mary poppins?? really??? was mary poppins bored at work all the time? i think not!

Mod 80 can you please put under my name ‘perfect in every way?’ thanks!

yes bec i am perfect in every way and therefore this thread will be perfect with no biting sarcasm and bashing!! woohooo!!! party in the coffee room!!! e/o give me all ur food and money!!!

y thank you moderator. finaly someone with something nice to say

Aw MiddlePath that is so sweet.

And I also take people’s money and invest it to make millions so hand it over everyone

i work for the fbi on the side

ovadiayosefrocks- u keep saying that and no1 is responding bec you’re not making any point. we have already discussed that by them having a facebook page doesn’t prove anything.

mikehall and zehavasdad sound like the same person. i wish much hatzlocha to both of you. there was a time when there wasnt facebook and people still donated to tzedkah. probably even more so. and stop using the lets ban the internet thing. it doesn’t prove anything. we are talking here about WEBSITES on the internet. just like certain clothes in clothing store. the clothing store need not be banned but some clothes should not be bought. so therefore facebook should not be had, as well as other websites that we can all figure out. if someone had one more day one this earth would they spend it on facebook chas? no way!!! we have to look at life that way. realizing that life is precious and can be cut off at any given moment. and fyi facebook is WAY more easier for people to meet each other and we ARE blaming it for failed marriages, bec without facebook there would be LESS failed marriages!! someone who is too shy to approach a lady in shul or the store, would much faster freind them or message them. i can’t even believe someone would say that it’s not facebook’s fault for an increase in failed marriages. i’m not trying to insult anyone here. i’m only trying to help my fellow jews become better people. i am sorry for my ‘insults’ as e/o keeps telling me i am dishing out, i am only just very passionate about facebook being very very bad

wow i have so much to say to u people. first of all, i think its very sad and unfortunate that the only people that think this is a great idea don’t have facebook. i guess i’m just going to have to procalim defeat after others and myself have tried so hard to get people to see the light, but you have all refused. after 120 when you go up to shamayim and have to watch a video of your life, trust me, every single person will wish beyond belief that they didn’t spend so many hours on facebook and that they spent time with their precious family members, friends, did chesed, even picked up the phone to make someone happy. so my bracha to everyone is that they see the emes very very soon.

minyan gal- ‘Your method of presenting your idea makes it seem that it is “your way or no way”.’

That is exactly the case and I’m happy you were able to see that. I’m so glad someone will finally be deleting it bec of me.

coffeeadict- ‘I wonder how many posters here that are proclaiming facebook as treif have ever been on it!’

I and yid4life have been on it as well as others I’m sure. but i appreciate your point.

mamashtakeh- ‘You could say the exact same thing about the internet itself. Instead of calling for people to delete their Facebook accounts, why not call for everyone to stop using the internet completely? Where are you going to draw the line?’

Once again, someone going to the extreme. I didn’t bash the internet as a whole, the internet is obviosuly here to stay. But there are limits. Why does it have to be all or nothing? It’s really not that difficult to draw the line with bad websites, but people here seem to have a problem with it. Is porn also ok bec its on the internet? Why would one draw the line with that also?

thanks mr editor but they do that because they know everyone has it. that’s not proving if facebook is bad or good, it’s proving that alot of people have it so its smart to advertise on it. I’m saying e.o should delete theirs and then there wud be no need to advertise on it

Yes mikehall12382 I am using the internet thank you for pointing something irrevelent

zahavasdad- thank you for provng my point at how far this generation has fallen that you take everything to extreme levels in order to avoid necessary change or a good piece of advice

and YW fan- again a common misused blunder in regards to facebook! The yetzer horah doesn’t get people to do things by saying – ‘this is strictly bad and nothing good will come out of this! this will steal hours of your time with nonsense!’ bec then none of us would get it! however, he’s smart and throws lots of ‘nice’ things on it like kiruv reasons, staying in touch, shiurim pple post, etc. and then people say hey! i’m doing a mitzvah by being on it! but no no my friend- those few ‘mitzvos’ ur doing on it does not even come close to the wasteful hours on it. if you didn’t have it altogether, you’d be able to TONS more kiruv, TONS more mitzvos, and TONS of keeping in touch! facebook is the kind of website where there’s no halvsies- you either delete it or u don’t. I also tried to say ‘well i’ll only go on it once a day and won’t stalk people i don’t know’ did it work? no. and it never works. ever. So do clal yisroel and most importantly YOURSELF a favor by deleting your account that is making people fall farther and farther from the emes
