i guess the other thing about hating facebook so much yet continuing to use it is that one becomes a self-loathing facebook user. this manifests itself into a negative attitude in general, including: sarcasm, cynisism, abuse, witty yet biting remarks & competitive irony. one may want to 'like' a benevolent cause, but in doing so - you're really just feeding more of your precious consumer information to the facebook gods. is it proactive to sit in front of the computer all day clicking 'like'? maybe it is. statistics anyone?
the whole place has the same vibe as those obligitory job network courses for unemployed people that centrelink make you do; ie, i don't really want to be here, but i am just because i'm determined to defeat centrelink in this bloody game.
having said that - i've just realised there is an upside to this new trend of organising social events exclusively on facebook. if one doesn't use facebook, one is not obligated to attend said events. one does not know about said events. one is therefore left at peace for eternity to pursue a life of peaceful hermitude.
