I have to believe if you were to buy Facebook and shut it down completely you'd solve several of this country's problems by removing the "hey look at me" side of things

Wow.
Well, you can log in on a computer, seen it done dozens of times.
And in settings, you simply turn off email notifications.
And I know people who have deleted their accounts.
But whatever. It's fun to complain.

NO ,cannot login as every screen goes to the screen that demands a mobile phone number( so they can send a 6 digit confirmation code )..
'Every' as in 'unsubscribe' link, 'view new person', ,'FB help','login' and FBMP website.
Now if you have some way to enter, I'm all ears.

Haven't done it myself in EONS, but you had me curious.
So, I started by beginning to type Fac___in the browser, and of course it searched for Facebook. Of which, Facebook login was a choice, which I clicked.
It asked me for an Email OR phone number, which I put in my email address. Then my password. And that was it. Didn't even break a sweat, and it's pretty sticky in here.
So YES, you can do it. At least in this country, Canada sucks.

SCOTT !!!... " if i had a BILLION dollars i would buy a new grease gun and a couple tubes of grease"...
I remember on the NEWS about 20 years ago, an old country boy won a MILLION dollars... they asked him what he was going to do with all the money....... He says " I probably buy the old lady a new washing machine, and i really need a chain saw"... .

Facebook is like most things, you get out of it what you put into it. If you read all the political stories and comment ( argue) every news article you see, that’s what you’ll get more and more of. If you connect with old friends, follow jokes, music you like, good looking women from days gone by, classic football, that’s what you’re going to get.

and I agree ,should have LOTS of 1,5, 10 million dollar winners ! Have said that since day one..when a million WAS a lot of money.
100 people WILL spend their $1million FAST and HELP the economy, but a guy can't (well realistically can't, spend 100 million in a lifetime

When the Colorado lottery first started, a family in north eastern Colorado won a million. When asked what they planed on doing with the money, the farmer said, I guess we'll keep farming til it's gone. They had an auction 3 or 4 years later...

I wonder if the people running the show at Clay Center Nebraska have any idea what's going to happen at their show if one of us "misfits" was to win the lottery. They would be cleaning grease up for months. Make the BP spill in the gulf look like a grease spot on my garage floor.

Im not picky. I would be OK with just matching the 5 numbers.
Then again, if there was a lotto where there were 100 tickets sold and 2 prizes were given and I bought 98 tickets, I still wouldnt win anything

When I first clicked on your link, it took me straight to my Facebook page, apparently I didn't log out yesterday. I logged out, closed my browser, came back here and clicked your link. It asked me for my email OR phone number. So, IDK, they probably just know it's you and wanna pizz you off.

Well the good news is NONE of those 'links' work anymore so FB probably has deleted my account AND don't get any more emails from them for at least a day or two.
Talked to a neighbour, he says he gets lots of FB stuff on his phone now, offers and such....as he uses a desktop for 'computer stuff', phone for talking and texting.
just tried FBMP ,got this...
Add a Mobile Number
We'll send you a text with a code to confirm the number belongs to you.
Adding
your number here lets Facebook use it to help you log in, protect our
community, accurately count people who use our services, and assist you
in accessing Facebook and opt-in programs, but not for purposes such as
suggesting friends or providing ads. Only you will see this number on
your profile. If the number added here is provided elsewhere across
Facebook Company Products, it may be used for other purposes including
suggesting friends or providing ads.
which is what I got from every FB 'access'...
so still can't use FBMP....
oh well.

I don’t get any FB stuff on my smartphone. But I sure get all kinds of offers from lonely, young ladies, didn’t know there were so many. They all claim they still not found their ‘real man’ that can spend time with them.
