I never thought why some one should have a facebook account. I opened up my account just to see how it works. Anyway, now a lot of people are on facebook; however, some old people are still missing. If you still think you are old enough to not to have a facebook account, then here are some reasons you will want one:
0. You don’t know what to do with your free-time. You have plenty of it.
1. You want to know if the guy/girl you just met is single or not.
2. You like gossip or you are a pervert.. randomly go into others profile to see their pictures/read their message board (AKA wall).
3. You don’t trust your partner.
4. You want to prove yourself very social by adding every one you see on facebook.
5. You want to impress some one by utterly boring quotes in your status.
6. You want to fight on e’thing you can; but you know you always lose…
7. You enjoy talking about a) politics b) religion c) sex d) wars
8. You believe you have no life.
9. and the last reason: So that I can go to your profile and check the information about you I just forgot (for example your name).
