Companies and Facebook!
I am getting heartily sick of visiting a websites or getting marketing emails from companies for them to tell me that if I 'like' them on Facebook I will get entered in a draw to win some of their crap!
Do they not realise that there are actually people out there who aren't on Facebook as they don't want to be on Facebook and think Facebook is full of saddos with no real friends hence why they need 1000 virtual ones!!!
New plan... I am boycotting any company that makes this sort of offer and will be letting them know why

You have wrong idea of Facebook, f1. Facebook isn't as weird as you think. Not any weirder than this place or any other virtual place, although the format is quite informal and dithery, and participation is on global scale. There are plenty of people on FB that only communicate with real life, 3-dimensional friends, and tell complete strangers to p!ss off.
I mean why would you make a complete stranger your 'friend' on FB or elsewhere on cyberspace? What if he/she turns out to be an axe murderer or a cat kidnapper, eh? You have to be careful! Anyway, you need to modernise yourself. You're stuck in 1940's, you are!
About liking anyone's website on FB, just don't do it. Tell them that you don't believe in FB.

I totally agree with F1_fan on this. First time for everything I suppose.
However you forgot to mention that Facebook is an extremely intrusive program that spies on your email, texts, contacts etc. Governments love it as they can spy on anyone that's daft enough to use it.

I think it's safe to believe that as soon as you go online or own a mobile phone there is no privacy. Doesn't matter whether you run the Facebook app or not

The single most powerful tool for population control and population spying ever created!
People are so mind numbingly hypnotised by the media machine it's unreal.

You only have to look at all the looting arrests in the months following the 2011 riots to know just how useful the authorities find Facebook 
They are helped out by the average FB user being a class A fcukwit though

Depends how much of your laundry you put out on Facebook or anywhere else, really. About total privacy or even optimal, once you are anywhere on the net, you are in the net like a fish- like GotBoost says. No point fooling yourself that you're perfectly safe if you're not on Facebook.
Someone from here told it openly a while back that he's on Facebook only to check out people's mugshots.

But doesn't that Cookie system work similar to that, from all other websites as well? I've been told that once you agree to anyone's cookies, they'll eat your whole life.
One can have two computers to trouble-shoot this issue. One you go on Facebook with, and another one to stash all your personal stuff on.
