Can I disable background processes?

I have loads of processes running on my S3 related to apps I'm not running i.e facebook, maps etc... all using valuable battery life.

is it safe to stop them using the app manager? I tried this without any noticeable effect but on restart they're all back - can I stop them from running permanently (until I run the apps that is)? is there a list somewhere of the critical ones you need to always run?

thanks in advance
