    I have a FB account, look at it occasionally, not a lot. Use it to follow family and friends. Look at the Market Place from time to time. Don't post, or comment, except for my family. On the other hand, my SWMBO lives on that puppy. During Harvey, back in '17, she got so worked up about the posts, we had to call EMS. She has cardiac problems. Diagnosis? Get off FB! Real story. Oh, yeah, forgot to add, I don't put my business on the street. How I was trained. No bumper stickers or such, to indicate how I feel, what I do, or anything. In the Army, it is known as OPSEC, Operational Security. Just a way of life I adopted.

    I find it "hypocritical" when a company bans someone that has an opinion opposite of their own.
    Doesn't free speech go both ways????

    I use to be on it and got off after find out all they do to your info and how it is used. I have no use for it . Also the law enforcement use to need to get a search warrant and now they do not people give out there info freely and it is used on them just like others that gose on there to check out who someone is or if they have a claim of workers comp or SSDI or lawyers for other things to find out about someone. Beside those that want to know when someone is home or not for there own use.

    We have no right to free speech on social media. Just as we have no right to free speech on this site.

    I do not do very much at all on FB and will likely end my relationship with them. But it is their site and their rules.

    I was on FB years ago and did get to meet of with some friends from high school, some who has passed since the mini reunions. So it did have some value to me. But no more I banned it, the censorship and commie pushing killed any value.
    Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready.

    Mrs shawlerbrook and I are proud to say we never twittered or facebooked. I rather spend time either at places like this or speaking directly to family and friends.

    Keep up with family, and only friends who would get out of bed at midnight to bail you out of jail. Everybody else-simply ignore

    Like I said above I know nothing about Facebook so please indulge my possibly ignorant question. Many say they only use Facebook to keep in touch with family and close friends, but why is it needed with email, texts, Skype, FaceTime,etc. where you can communicate directly without the outside world snooping ? This is an honest question and not a swipe at anyone. I am ignorant on this subject.

    No, you're right.

    There no NEED to use Facebook.
    Facebook just wants you to think they are the only option.

    yup i ask my wife that same question and why she taps those silly text message constantly. If i want to talk to you or ask a question ill call you up and actually hear your voice. Or better yet hop in the truck and go and see you personaly. A good part of the problem these days in this country comes from no one actually interacting with others. They sit with there head burried in a phone all day. That way theres no accountability. Makes it so much easier to lie. My mother called the other day and asked me if i was getting a new car. I had told my wife id like to buy a new hellcat in a couple years and she posted it on facebook. She got read the riot act!! I had told her before to NEVER POST ANYTHING about me or anything i say on facebook. I dont even want my name on there site.

    Im on FB for the special interest groups.......dont even think my picture is on FB,and outside of old trucks and machinery ,have no contact with anyone thru facebook.......Its magic for selling obscure parts and stuff......instead of tyrekickers ,buyers come straight over with the cash to get a new radiator,or new pistons ,or some other bit they want......No packing ,delivery ,or having PP and EB steal half the money.

    I got banned for about ten minutes this morning. Called BS on them, and they reinstated me.

    It's about the only reasonable way to keep in touch with friends and family for me. Over the years, I have met and made friends from all over the world, and we have many friends in common. We like being able to stay in touch.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    I finally broke away from FB, I could no longer handle the one sided partisan, and censorship directed towards conservative values and our people in Blue.
    I do miss seeing my 3 year old grandson pictures, and the hobby pages. Like various firearms, reloading pages, along with other various lists of hobbies I enjoy.
