Why Facebook is not the Army

[Sensible Shoes]

A few months ago, I posted this on my facebook profile as my "quote" - much like we do as "sigs" here.

"Sometimes the one you think is your knight in shining armor is just a retard wearing tin foil".

As of last week, Facebook has banned this phrase, in all probability because of the use of the Un-PC word "retard".

Thus, I post here, to tell you I value the freedom of speech at the Army, even though they will not allow penis pics.

Sincerely,

Shoes.

i tried to post that i was on a binge, and the FB bot didn't like that.

[Sensible Shoes]

Bot did not like the word "Binge?"

[twonabomber]

yeah, said that it may be hurtful to some readers or some shit. yet i can call someone a complete fuckin' idiot and that's not hurtful to any readers.

i really was on a binge, too. don't remember what the excuse was THAT time, but it was a good binge.

wait - you can post penis pics on facebook? BONE-us..!

[Sensible Shoes]

I did not say that.

[GAR]

Can I send you pics of my big fish?

[Sensible Shoes]

Didn't you eat it? SHould be spoiled by now.

oh not even curious..

So they banned the phrase, but not Shoes' page? Facebook wrist-slap?

It claims to now have 300 million regular users, people who log in at least once a month.

I don't believe that. How do you have the time to play traffic cop on 300M users, but still have time to sweat people for using language like Retard?

That's why I think something new will come along and preeminate it, just like Myspace and the few others that predated it going back to 1996.

Always felt excuses were optional... sometimes it's just time...

Binge well my friend...

But don't you want to know about how hurt I am that my girlfriend broke up with me after my Wife Tagged me with Bozo the clown after I traded my Farmville account for a Mafia Wars hit in Hong Kong? Gees....get with the modern Army!

[jhale667]

Ugh, I hate those stupid apps, won't go near 'em.
If ONE more person asks me to help "fertilize their crops" in fucking Farmville (that I don't fucking play) I'm going to send them a bag of home-made fertilizer!

my nephew and niece (10 and 9) send me all kinds of invites to FB crap because they know i'll give them shit about it, and they think it's funny when i give them shit about stuff. i enjoy giving them shit, so i guess it's a win-win.
