Facebook sucks, how do i have more privacy.?

[George Brown]

I cant figure out any thing on Facebook. people that are not my friends can see some posts on my wall, i don't want them to even be able to click on that. Also by my searching my email in the search bar i found my page, again dont want that. Pretty much i dont want any one able to see any of my things (except profile picture) but i cant figure out how the stupid settings work. help? pictures or videos would be nice, but i will take word explanation also.

You would have more privacy if you didnt use it :]

Unfortunately this is very difficult and involves alot of effort. The constant changes often render your settings invalid. I have decided to close my Facebook account due to the release of timeline and constant concern about privacy issues we see in the news all the time. I am confident that life will be better without Facebook and I will learn to embrace more personal forms of communication such as email and phone/skype. Facebook is going down, more and more people are closing their accounts by the day and its not hard to see why - we just do not need it anymore, and the constant changes are frustrating.
