There has been some information out there on the internet about "TV having the highest rate of STDs in the US" for a long time. That statistic just doesn't make sense! Compared to NYC, LA, San Fran????? Really! It has persisted as an urban legend wannabee, so maybe that is where these little morons got their info. Whatever! Not worth bothering with--maybe they won't move here--somehow we will get along without them!

I understand where you guys are coming from and do respect your free access to the social network. Point well taken. I'm maybe a little jealouse you guys have fun with Face Book. Maybe I'm a the last Face Book virgin!

Here is my life with Face Book. How many kids are on under the legal face book age of 13?

If you saw some of the stuff the Police have show us in seminars it would make you think diff! In the public school sector it is discouraged by Admin and HR.

Have been shown what the Feds can do with your information and contacts.

Have had way to many seminars on face book bullying from both adults and kids

Have had way to may graduates not get a job because of past face book activity.

And my only close experience of Face Book has been fellow students and employees excorted out in handcuffs!

Oh and the fist fight outside of Church over a facebook argument!

And worst of all I now find out from Tom, We all live in a Village full of people with STD's That was way to much information for me.

I'm glad for all your advice- I do not mean to be argumentative- Maybe when I retire I can get my own page - And then again maybe I'll stay a Face Book Virgin. Then I can't get a Social Media STD

AM I the only one not on Face Book in the Villages. That would be intersting.

Nah, you're not the only one. I tried it for a month or two at my daughter's suggestion. I absolutely hated it. I care too much about my privacy and the privacy of my loved ones for that type of exposure and frankly I really don't care about all of life's ups and downs for people who are darn-near total strangers. My junk email ratcheted up considerably. Someone even took the time to explain why they had defriended someone. I didn't even know it was like the end of the world to be defriended. Nah, I'm into a stress-free existence now-a-days.

Oh, about the STD problem (long ago and probably greatly exaggerated) - damn that little blue pill!

Glen just confided to me he is a Face Book Virgin also.

What ever they call us I sure am happy to be moving there. Maybe I better get a body condom!

Facebook virgin as well but admit that my wife is on it so if there is ever anything interesting she passes it on. No desire for my own page. I kid her by telling her that I am on the ADULT FACEBOOK, Linkedin....

If the creator of "Hate The Villages" and the other posters are employees of TV, I would love to know where they work. Based on their negative comments, I don't think I would want them preparing any of my meals. Just sayin'.

It's hard for an Italian man to admit he's a 'Virgin' to anything, but I am to Facebook as well.

I am a facebook virgin also...I am so glad I am not alone! I still enjoy writing letters and sending cards to friends and family...and I love receiving them too!

My daddy told me " dont get in a ****ing match with a fool" sounds like it applies here

And there are a LOT of villagers who post too.

Have to agree with Gracie (we're FB buddies also).

57? That's my year too. We're talking birth year right?

[red tail]

sounds like a lot of people on this forum are still living in the past. just because you're retired doesnt mean new things are bad. better be careful or the next thing you know you'll be an 'old fogey'

Add my name to the "Face Book Virgins". And by the way, does anyone have any idea where the STD's statistics for the Villages is obtained?? Just curious what authoritative report quotes these figures.

I think it was mentioned in the BS book "Leisure Village" Not sure if it was ever confirmed but I hear the same stat from many people when I mention The Villages. Who knows how accurate it is.

I hear this almost every day up north when I mention I live in TV. I just say "Imagine that, old people like sex too!" And even if the stats were true why would that concern the vast majority of us TV'ers who are married?
