How can I make Facebook stop nagging me on Android?

I decided that I didn't want to use Facebook on my Android phone. For some reason the uninstall button in application settings is greyed out. There was an option to uninstall the update I had downloaded, but after doing so I have been plagued with annoying messages several times per day telling me to accept their terms of service and start using Facebook again. Is there a way to uninstall or at least make Facebook leave me alone on my phone?

    Instructions:

    1. Open the Web browser on your Android phone and type the URL address, "facebook.com" in the search field. Click the "Search" button. After the Web page appears on your phone, you will need to provide your user account information to log on to the website.

    2. Type your email address in the "Email" field and enter your password in the "Password" field. Click the "Log In" button when you're done. Once you're logged into your user account, you will be directed to Facebook's homepage. You will see several icons displayed on the Web page that you can use to share information with your family and friends.

    3. Look for the "Facebook Chat" icon, located near the lower right side of the display screen. Tap on it to open the Facebook Chat feature. Click the "Options" button located next to the "Friends List" option, near the upper right side of the display screen. A popup box will appear on the display screen. From here you can disable or enable several features of Facebook Chat.

    4. Click the check box next to "Go Offline" to disable the chat feature and appear invisible to others in the chat rooms. Facebook Chat will be permanently disabled on your Android phone, until you turn the feature back on.

    5. Click the Facebook Chat (offline) image button, shown near the bottom of the display screen to enable the chat feature and appear back online.

    6. Disable the chat notification sound on your Android phone. Click the check box next to the "Play Sound" option if you want to disable the feature. When the "Play Sound" option is unchecked, you will not be able to hear an alert sound when you receive a new chat notification on your phone.
