Honest truth is I don't like social networking sites, I think they're more trouble than they are worth. People can go on about 'oh you can set privacy settings' but it's easy to circumnavigate them either deliberately or by accident and I don't really want any of my personal life that easily accessible online.

I'm not making a statement, I'm just not interested in it.
I know not everyone that doesn't have an account is trying to make a statement. I just hate that there are people who come off like that and then make me feel like I just drank the kool aid for joining. You like it or you don't...it shouldn't really be more complicated.
