Mothah knows best. She was smart enough not to invest. Ayeh, by jeesum, I guess. Sociopath media, fah sure!
Dtroutma over 12 years ago
About all those “reminders” to “check in”, sociopath media indeed!

My brother has deleted his Facebook account 3 times and each time after a few days it is back up.
hawgowar over 12 years ago
I quit and deleted my membership. I tried to log back on 3 months later and it said there is no such username. No problems.
dkendraf over 12 years ago
I closed mine “temporarily”. I’ve no time and less interest in that sociopathic medium; in any of them, really. So, it’s bye-bye!

I tried to close a VISA card account one time. It took me forever…a couple of weeks as I recall. When it was finally done, I asked why it had been so hard to cancel it. She said they didn’t really have a process to do that!

Speaking of AOL – I was amazed that they bought out Huffington Post instead of the other way around – heck, I’m amazed AOL still exists. Are we sure it isn’t a zombie?.If ze Zuckerkommandant really vants vays of persuasion, he should threaten Captain Eddie with William Shatner singing “Bohemian Rhapsody.”.Hey, I think I just figured out who the anti-Ekert is…

I’ve referred to it as In your Facebook.

Compared to this insane discussion page, FB is a friggin’ church! It has been tame here lately, but just wait ’till Wiley posts one of his Leftie clips.

Any of you guys ever try to cancel a subscription to a newspaper? hahah
FlatheadFord over 12 years ago
I cancelled McAfee four years ago, I still get renewal notices.

Everybody knows that if you tell a kid “Don’t run in the street,” he’s GOT to run in the street in order to know what not to do.
“Don’t be evil,” was the most asinine possible construction of a weasel promise ever given…have you checked wikileaks about the contracts given for and the hortative managerial messages to employees prowling the sociopathic media for information? like how many accounts they were to scan per day? And there was a “how pretty/handsome” photo op recently…have your face scanned for how beautiful you are? The got YOUR picture to go with your account, facial contours, etc.
Big Brother exists and is quite a bit slicker than most animals in the electronic pen. Dumber than fish in a net.

I think Pauly should have an adventure….or at least a fantasy….

Halibaitor and others who commented on trying to cancel a newspaper subscription: In the late 60’s or 70’s my Mom allowed the subscription to a local small town weekly to expire. She continued to receive the paper for another ten or fifteen years.
Thehag over 12 years ago
Yeah don’t like it much but needed to be on so I could take care of a page the business I worked for at the time. Now I see this stupid ad on my page for (big cog in the axis of evil walmart) really dislike that. Try getting rid of ATT. When all was finally said and done 4 months after canceling, they sent a bill for 5 cents. When I went to pay it in coin the person who helped me had to delete a $15.00 handling charge.

one would think that having the biggest IPO ever would tell FB dupes something about what FB is Really about, but I won’t bet on it.
Willaran over 12 years ago
This is my only social media… ’Is it safe?"
Vonne Anton over 12 years ago
@Willaran: No, it’s not safe. I don’t have FB because it is a colossal waste of time to me, but I have family that love it for keeping in touch, and friends who need it for business. However, no internet connection is safe, even if you have safeguards in place. Nor is your cell phone or cable TV. Remember, the govt invented the internet for military purposes and allowed it to go public. The govt (and presumably others) can monitor any of these at any time and know what all of us are doing. There is no such thing as privacy unless you stay completely off the grid. Very inconvenient, that.

still another example of Wiley’s skill as a social commentator. So when are you going to let loose on todays political scene. Now that is a subject that could really use some of your wit to puncture a few of the massive egos that spend millions for a job that might pay them a few hundred thousands. Corruption and the plutocracy rule politics, where are you Wiley?

BTW: only reason I ever went to Farcebook was to get to a page that required it. Now, all kinds of sources are mandating you go through Farcebook to read pages, or comment on articles. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen here!!

Local newspaper supplied me with a delivery box to mount below my mail box. I installed it and started my subscription with the stipulation that all newspapers not delivered to the proper box would not be paid for. Thirty days and daily complaint calls later, I did not pay for one delivery and the papers piled up in the driveway. The subscription service told me the delivery person refused to get out his vehicle to place the paper in the box. What kind of lazy@$$ people have we developed into?When I was twelve, I had to place newspapers behind stormdoors, under mailboxes, on back porches, anywhere the customer wanted. I got seven cents per paper PER MONTH. Nowadays you’re lucky if they can hit your driveway.

AOL didn’t believe you the first time you called, you had to call at least twice. When I had to have AOL for one reason or another I would lower my plan to the cheapest one available so I wouldn’t get charged as much until they finally would close it.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 12 years ago
He was right the first time! Sociopath!
Bill Chapman over 12 years ago
I have an account – sort of – It’s in my real legal name, gives ZERO info about me other than the fact that I’m male and human. No one can post to it there’s nothing to read or watch, and I check it about every 3 months or so.
LadyLew over 12 years ago
I agree with Fairportfan2 about quitting AOL. They don’t call it AOHe11 for nothing. I recently decided to quit Facebook, an then found i could no longer make comments on several in which I still wished to participate unless I stuck with Facebook. What a ripoff. So right now I’m in limbo.

facebook and morgan stanley is being sued. fb lost 17% since their ipo debut. wall street still is saying that they don’t need regulation. WTH? jpm lost 2 billion on a flawed hedging strategy, and more billions in future. they say that they need bonuses to keep talent? everytime that there is finanical crises caused by wall street, they still repeat the same line of no regulation. they need more. see 1987, 1991, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2008, 2012.greece had goldman sachs cook their books to get greece in the eurozone which they shouldn’t be.

FB? Subscriptions? Credit cards? Amateurs – all of ’em!For real fun, simply choose not to extend the warranty/service plan on a major home appliance. They start with the dire warnings about your coverage expiring, then when you hold fast and actually let it expire – they fold faster than a $2 suitcase! Then the pathetic groveling phone calls start – offering you a series of last chances to come back into the fold.
