(115,829 posts)I have a Facebook account that I hardly ever look at; I could have my Facebook contacts party in a bus shelter.

(32,086 posts)The conservative family and Texan people would get along ok. Then there are the people I actually like - my atheist and communist friends - so there would be two very distinct groups.

(149,683 posts)I have several different groups of friends there...
DU folk
My family
Poetry friends
And a few unclassifiable friends!
I think it would be a crazy, fun party! I don't think any of them are conservatives, so that wouldn't be a problem.

(35,015 posts)Doesn't mean I don't have friends, just don't have facebook friends. From what I've heard, I'm probably better off.
Art_from_Ark
(27,247 posts)has almost nothing to do with ME! It has essentially become little more than a Facebook dumping ground.
I would say that you are probably better off without Facebook.

(10,952 posts)I am more interested in Animal Rescue Groups/Furbabies and their Parents on Facebook so there would be a lot of cats and dogs invited. Personal info is strictly minimalized. Nobody in my family even knew that I was on Facebook until I happened to mention something about my nephew's former wife's Facebook page. I got yipped at for not friending all these family members and that I would be more in the loop if I did. I still haven't friended any of them and don't plan to. I like using Facebook the way I do - an informational source and following some of my personal interests not for family chit chat.

Christians, non-Christians.
Old HS classmates, friends, friends of friends, relatives

Older people, young people

The music would be epic, to say the least!

(54,436 posts)I don't have a lot of facebook friends. Half of them already come to things we organize anyway.
The rest are scattered around all continents but Antarctica, so afternoon tea is kinda out.
