Facebook Sucks?

So this is a serious question. After years of not wanting to join Facebook I finally caved and joined. I have found the profiles of many of my high school friends and even just people from high school that I knew. They all accepted my friend requests but when I went to say hi they all seem to be ignoring me. Do people pay attention to the messages they get or is it all about friending and posting on walls?

when i first joined facebook, i requested to be friends with everyone i could find that i had ever me in my life, not everyone accepted my friend request but enough people did that i eneded up having a little over 500 friends.

fuck ii, my god, that was a mistake, for starters, every time i would log in, my wall would be cluttered with people posting status updates about everything they were doing in there life, from, putting on a band aid, to there daughters first time sneezing

and the ammount of pictures that were posted by my so called friends out numbered the ammount of stars in the night sky, ranging from a snail on a leaf all the way to an ungly baby cuddling with a cute baby (well the parents thought the baby weas adorable)

and before i new it, people were inviting me to everything under the sun, from the mail mans 1000 delivery anniversary, to there uncles brothers, mothers, dads, fathers, bowling team picnic

ant then people started messaging me to see what i was up to now, not that i really wanted to talk to them, i would be polite and respond, then they would either tell me there hole life's story, or they would never respond

fuck this

i got rid of every friend that i had not personally talked to in the last 2 years, and the people that i blocked everyone else

but i still have not got a response from squallumz, that stupid bastard

Most iphones and droids don't show messages very well. If those people are looking at fb on an iphone or droid, they probably don't know you sent a personal message until they get on a pc.

Also I know a few people who can look at fb at work but the message function is blocked.
 
Every once in a while I scroll through my fb friends list and "unfriend" the people that aren't really friends. Nothing personal, it's just that either I really don't see them as "real" friends or they just post too many updates and game invitations or they never post anything and don't even check their account.
Of course, I don't wipe out my whole list. I always end up with the same 150-200 "untouchables" that I want to keep contact with. Some of them are "facebooholics" and post like 10 updates a day, but you just have to live with it when they're your friends I guess.
Oh, don't you just hate people that you see only once at a party or something and the morning after: "BOOM!" you get a friend request from them, and if you accept, they NEVER EVER say anything to you?

They hate you. Take the hint!
 
Most of them don't check the messages. If your trying to talk to people from high school I've noticed if they're losers and you have a career and are more successful they tend not to say much.
