Facebook Abstainers Could Be Labeled Suspicious

bs0d3 writes "According to this article printed in tagesspiegel.de, not having a Facebook account could be the first sign that you are a mass murderer.(German) As examples they use Norwegian shooter Anders Breivik, who used MySpace instead of Facebook and the newer Aurora shooter who used adultfriendfinder instead of Facebook. They already consider those with Facebook accounts, who lack friends to be suspicious, but now they are suggesting that anyone who abstains from Facebook altogether may be even more suspicious."

    I'm starting a compay that knocks people to the ground and puts a boot on their neck. My business model is to sell ads on the soles of the boots. Ticker symbol FY is available. W00t! Get the VCs on the line.

    For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?

    While there may be overlaps, my understanding is the primary objective of FaceBook and Adultfriendfinder are not precisely the same. For example, it seems that many more photos on facebook involves clothing, and I am sure many of the people on facebook do not intend to have sex with everyone who friends them.

      Wait.. AdultFriendFinder is a real thing? I just assumed it was a thinly veiled front for prostitution.

      You are incorrect. It is not thinly veiled.

    I've had a Facebook account for years. I've even made one for each of the little voices in my head, too :)

      Negative. I tried hiring some murderers through LinkedIn, and didn't get any applicants ... I'm pretty sure Craigslist will have a much better return ...

      Ohhh.. you'll get applicants all right. Not what you are looking for though.

      Try it. If you sell an "antique writing desk with hutch" it will get instantly translated into, "I'm desperate for vagina. Call or email me at all hours of the fucking night if you have vagina to sell me".

      Craigslist should just renamed to questionablehookuplists.com

    On the other hand, LinkedIn's stock is way up from IPO, while Facebook's is quite a bit down, and pretty much nobody uses LinkedIn on purpose. So institutionalization isn't always bad.

    Breathing Human Beings Could Be Labeled as Suspicious

    "According to this article printed in tagesspiegel.de, being a living mammal could be the first sign that you are a mass murderer.(German) As examples they use Norwegian shooter Anders Breivik, who is a homo sapien and the newer Aurora shooter who was also a person. They already consider those requiring life support as also suspicious, but now they are suggesting that anyone who is healthy altogether may be even more suspicious. While it is already established that places like hospitals and clinics are no good for zombies, the dead, and ghosts; the undead will have to take a back seat while more and more insane articles like this come out. This line of thinking could sure help morgue businesses."
