"It leads to cyber bullying"
No it doesn't, at least it doesn't if you have the least bit of common sense. Someone harassing you on Facebook? Block them. Easy as that. If they harass you in real life, that's not Facebook's problem at all, (and you should notify the principal or police about harassment in real life).
"It's nothing compared to talking in real life".
Yeah...but it's not supposed to replace talking in real life. It's supposed to be a tool to keep in touch with others far away, or to chat with others when talking isn't an option. Can you not handle talking to someone in person when you see them, and chatting them when you don't?
"Everyone on Facebook is retarded, saying things like #YOLO, etc"
Sorry, that's a problem with your friends. Get better ones. Unfriend annoying people, and friend people you actually want to talk to. Problem solved!
"They are evil, they r spreading mai personal informashun!!11"
No. They are not out to get you. If you aren't some criminal, why would they care about one of the hundreds of millions of people that use Facebook?
"I don't want people to see my personal information."
Then...don't put any? All you need is your name (Not even full name, you could use a nickname or abbreviate your last name.) People seeing your name and a picture of you (which is optional but recommended) is not gonna kill you.
So, why do you hate Facebook, (if you do?) What do you think of Facebook? Discuss Facebook

1 Any form of online communication can lead to cyber bullying, saying otherwise is absurd; and last i checked, ignoring a problem has a tendency to do nothing in the way of solving it (and remember kids, cyber bullying isn't some anon calling you a fag, it's people you know doing horrible things, of course it's easy to dismiss it as teenage angst and whatnot, but just remember that if you do that, you're part of the problem) 2 yeah i find that stupid too 3 stupid shit like that exists because of facebook and other sites like it; i want them to keep their shit away from my shit, but there's so much of their shit that it's flooding into the rest of the internet and real life. 4 How do you think facebook makes money? selling your details to ad companies that want it; How do they do it? well if you're not posting your information yourself (like most facebook users) they can pretty easily track you across the internet, the linked video is just the tip of the iceberg (and even if you do post you're on info, they'll track you anyway 'cuz #loadsamoney(see what you've caused?)) 5 people are idiots; source: facebook in it's entirety And you know, that's just me refuting your points, there are many more reasons to hate the site that have been said a million times before and a million times better than i could ever say them.
