Comment by Creeldog1 on March 28, 2018 at 5:12pm: Wow, great video. Just when I thought I knew how scandalous they are. And now I KNOW EVEN MORE

Comment by Guardian of Scotland on March 28, 2018 at 2:57pm: No, I deleted mine. However many businesses have pages and to get information you have to go to their page.

Comment by Creeldog1 on March 28, 2018 at 2:18pm: No, I dont now. I have an account but I have frozen it.

Comment by Sweettina2 on June 4, 2014 at 3:24pm: Right on, Jeff! I have awakened a lot of people on FB on many subjects. It doesn't matter where you post they know all they want to know.

If you don't want fb, don't do it! Stop ragging on people that do! Some of us knew the job was gonna be tough when we took it.

Comment by kRzeIt on January 2, 2013 at 1:28pm: I was on FB for a year or so, but was bullied by Liberals till I left. A very unpleasant experience. My bad for stating I was conservative, but I had seen others place that info on their page and thought, why not? I am happier off FB now. It was during the time when they were encouraging Libs to find the Conservatives on FB and route them out. This was the beginning of my awareness of how ugly this whole Liberal thing is.

Comment by truth on December 28, 2012 at 11:41am: They don't even have to do anything to spy on you. You give them everything by yourself.

Comment by Jeff on October 23, 2010 at 1:19pm: James, thank you.

I think we're both too intelligent to believe that one web site can cover the ground we need to cover or reach the people we need to reach. 12.160 is one of only two web sites, of the literally billions, that I've intentionally devoted my personal time to and the only web site, that's right the only one, that I've ever promoted to others. If you read all of my commentary here I may have defended the value and quality of Facebook but I haven't once recommended it to anyone here. I have a personal agenda that's uniquely me. This web site, 12.160 is as critically important, viable, fulfilling and necessary to me and that agenda, today, as it always has been and is of a quality such that I couldn't detract from it.

Internet dialogue is as unique as my agenda. It's wholly new to the human race.

We're missing facial expression, tone of voice, body language, eye contact and other nuances of normal human conversation. This creates divisiveness by misunderstanding because we can't generally communicate our thoughts and ideas in the same very effective manner as when we're face to face.

Political, religious and social beliefs often quietly and unobtrusively complicate our dialogue. There is greater divisiveness with internet dialogue and just as often quickly established relationships based on love and understanding. I have that with Patriot Horse and others here. We're best friends and should we ever meet it would be as if we'd always known one another, like old grammar school friends or that brotherly or sisterly love most of us have experienced and understand.

Many of us also argue with frequency and commitment.

Never before has human communication undergone such a dramatic and wholly unnoticed change or alteration in its format, style and even context.

Those of us with an agenda, for example like myself and my good friend here Greg, that recognize these hurdles have a need for both of these web sites. Even more so because we don't always agree on all of the various A to Z facets of the complicated issues we address. While agreement isn't necessary transparency is and the combined contribution of 12.160, Facebook and many, many more web sites is paramount to each of our personal goals and the overall future scenario we all envision.

Comment by truth on October 21, 2010 at 8:54pm: Hey Jeff I am sold...I am moving to fb. Ha, well not just yet. Why replicate or attempt to recreate what you can find on an established half billion member rich site any how?

I spent nearly the entire 90s doing similar things on aol/yahoo message boards as well as in the comment sections of main stream news sites . Social networking just isn't for me any more and frankly have little desire to dialogue with others whether they be of similar mind or not.

Perhaps I never was that interested in the dialogue, I swore off the net (the bickering /debates) for a long while and 9/11 brought me back ever so temporarily .

So congrats to you, you have the passion and motivation to engage all these people.
I was always thankful that you and the few others here were interacting with other members ( so I did not have to :)

With the move off ning, I guess the only thing 12160 can offer is a site free of permitted and intentional harvesting of data from the membership. Cheers!
