Brexit, for once some facts.

Facebook is great for finding missing persons, Children and dogs.... also for seeing what your mates had for their lunch.

Facebook is great:

Finding missing persons - Just the job for those who want to murder someone, missing people can't be additionally missed.

Finding children - Just the job for paedophiles.

Finding dogs - Handy for the travellers who steal dogs to sell them.

Finding out what mates had for lunch - No use for anyone.

THEN HOW COME SO MANY PEOPLE USE IT?

Lots of people use heroin and cocaine...

 

[Danidl]

FB provide no public good? THEN HOW COME SO MANY PEOPLE USE IT?

Careful Dan - or you'll end up like OG and fester in his pathetic world of hate.

Regarding FB. Yes my children use it,but it holds no appeal for me. I actually cannot find a reason why people use it .. I find Pedelecs sufficiently addictive.
Apple on the other hand do or have produced excellently engineered products,at price points that substantial numbers of people are prepared to pay. They may have gone a bit adrift at present, but they do make premium product.
Yes Google maps and street maps is fantastic.

 

[flecc]

Who can not look around and see how many people love facebook?

If we approve of everything that people love to do, we might as well scrap almost all of the statute book and have a free for all.

A lot of Facebook users are not Murderers, Paedophiles or Travellers.
I was joking about what your mates had for lunch.

Phew, that's a relief.

as candidates go, I reckon BJ fears Michael Gove most.
If BJ fails to be shortlisted, who is going to represent the tory hard brexiters?

Hi OG, while I share your distain for Facebook and that it does not serve any public good,except employing some people here in Ireland, Google is another matter. I know it is primarily an advertising medium,but it has contributed to the entertainment and dissemination of knowledge

Before you see it as something benign try this link

It is very much a Monkey on your back there are other less sinister search engines

 

[oldgroaner]

Cloud cuckoo land where people are thankful for the likes of Google, Facebook and Apple.

YOU are the freak not me.

Really, is that the best you can do? talk about the willing mug, that is you, so smug and so ignorant too!
They are all making fools of you

Oh good grief now it's "pathetic world of hate"?
Straight from the Brexiteer manual for thickos.

These companies use private date and capitalise on it to their own advantage, but you are too thick to notice or check

 

[oldgroaner]

Thank you for that uplifting contribution Dave. It has been noted.

And abuse your privacy and use it for profit

 

[oldgroaner]

So are other search engines that don't follow you around and steal your data for profit, did you know that?

I actually hardly ever go to my FB page - I think I was about 5yrs too old to really get into it when it lifted off. But to say that it has no worth etc - who thinks such things? Who can not look around and see how many people love facebook? How blind do you have to be to not see that?

And what has facebook done with their Data
Do talk sense! like the party you support it is a con to manipulate the public for profit

Moggy?

 

[Woosh]

Moggy?

It's difficult to imagine our PM running or owning a city firm though.
Conflict of interest.
Furthermore, whoever is crowned PM will have the unenviable task of regaining tory votes that went to Farage at the next GE.

For seeing the truth where you can't ? and you call me a freak? pathetic!

OG - nobody here but you thinks Google, FB and Apple are only ripping people off.

Just you.

YOU are the freak here.

Freaks think things like that.

They also believe nobody ever landed on the moon.

And that the FBI set up 911.

And that Elvis still lives

Take a look in the mirror.

That's you.

You're the freak.

 

[OxygenJames]

No - you are making a fool of yourself.

Or rather you just showed yourself up.

As in.... you wrote:

"All any of them do is rip off the British public and avoid tax"

(When talking about Google, FB and Apple).

Thats freak talk.

Nobody here believes that.

But you.

YOU are the freak.

 

[OxygenJames]

This is what OG believes - sorry this is what the freak OJ believes:

"What benefit has there ever been to the public here from Facebook (used to fiddle the referendum) Google (again used against the public) and Apple (the biggest rip off company of all time? that swindles the public blind with ludicrously overpriced products?)
All any of them do is rip off the British public and avoid tax."

Give it up OG.

You've been outed.

You're a freak.

Apple - "the biggest rip off company of all time".

AMAZING. Then how come they are loved by millions? How do you explain that? How do you explain WHY PEOPLE BUY SO MUCH OF THEIR STUFF?

Companies that are rip-offs GO OUT OF BUSINESS!

Well they do in our wonderful capitalist world. In your freak Socialist paradise Apple would be banned no doubt and we'd all have to buy all our tech from some state-owned shop.

Freak.

Hey for the rest of you - just so you know - I am not some Apple nut. I've got a DELL PC for work but I do have an Apple laptop - still use a Nokia phone. But this cr ap from OG the way he paints the whole company as some dark satanic force - the guy is a nut-job.

Overpriced? Then tell me OJ how come on the SECOND HAND market on say ebay Apple products hold their value so well. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT? Even 3 year old Apple Airs hold their value at around £400+. If it was a cr ap product how could that be?

OG is our resident freak. A sad creature in many ways - but - they you have it.
