Is not joining Facebook a sign you're a psychopath? Some employers and psychologists say staying away from social media is 'suspicious'

The German magazine Der Taggspiegel went so far as to point out that accused theater shooter James Holmes and Norwegian mass murder Anders Behring Breivik have common ground in their lack of Facebook profiles.

On a more tangible level, Forbes.com reports that human resources departments across the country are becoming more wary of young job candidates who don't use the site.

Slate.com Advice Columnist, Emily Yoffee, wrote in an advice column that young people shouldn't date anyone who isn't on Facebook.

'If you’re of a certain age and you meet someone who you are about to go to bed with, and that person doesn’t have a Facebook page, you may be getting a false name. It could be some kind of red flag,' he says.

The tech news site Slashdot summed up Der Taggspiegel's story about social networking as 'not having a Facebook account could be the first sign that you are a mass murderer.'

Don't these so called smart people know you can create fake profiles??? or a very sanitize versions of who you are. kinda pointless, I know friends who has done both.

I had facebook when it was cool when it was only those who had a edu email. Once it went public everyone and their mothers have one not cool at all.

morons.. pseudo science at it's worst. Like dumb ass japanese employers who ask people for their blood type and american employers who ask for handwriting analyses lol.

    I totally agree with you.

    BUT

    I did throw up in my mouth a little bit when you used the word "sheeple".

    They should make a chart of murderers and rapist on facebook vs not on. since the article implies only crazy people aren't on it.
