On an almost daily basis, especially on the weekends I come across old and new friends asking me to add them on FaceBook. & Every single time I'm given a face of complete surprise (& somewhat disgust) when I express I do not have a FaceBook account.
Some ask me how in the hell I stay connected with friends, while others ask me how I can function in the world.
Co-workers all have FaceBook accounts and tell me during every shift that i'm the only one not a part of their commenting and photo gallery world...
On some days people will tell me I should really consider getting one and other days the very same people will tell me it is a good thing that I don't have a FaceBook account; suggesting to me it will destroy my life. Upon a bit of prowling it seemed some people meant that having a FaceBook will complicated my love life considering every girl I speak with will be able to see my wall and previous girls, every comment, etc.
But the true reason I've never gotten a FB is cause of the repeadted news re: their privacy policies (or lack of, really)...and am just wondering if there are others here that have a FB account either cause they could give a ***** less about a privacy policy w/ FB, or disregard the privacy policy simply cause they need to be connected w/ friends...again, I don't even know...
Just thought i'd open the gates on this topic this morning.

Perhaps I'll be getting an account in Feb. before I head out to Tokyo for 6 months.
