I totally agree. I just got a facebook page to keep up with my 6 grandchildren who are scattered all over. After getting it, all these old school mates whom I haven't heard from in a hundred years showed up.

Some of the chatter is just like high school. Example: What kind of "poodle skirt" did I have? era 1955 I was lucky to have a printed cotton skirt I made myself. I hate the class difference. You know "upper class" and "lower class". That was my hometown and my father did the best he could do for his family.

I haven't mentioned any illness and I will not, as it is an automatic "turn off".

I don't understand the mentality of people who have no compassion but who are just all about themselves. I just turned one person off tonight who was posting her political views every time I opened my page. I didn't sign on facebook to hear about someone's politics. I guess I am venting my disgust here. Hope you all understand.
