and now I'm beginning to think that they are right.

This is just one more reason that I shun any social network site like the plague.

Just a little heads up to the gentlemen and the ladies... If you have a phone with a Facebook app installed on it... chances are all of your contacts from your phone are now on Facebook. I know most of us use separate phones for business and pleasure, but, just in case you dont...
On FB go to Account at the top right and hit edit friends. On the left of this page it will say contacts... you will see every number in your phone on there.
To remove.. look to right of page and read instructions.
Be safe!!!

but I don't have a smart phone & I have had to work to prevent my email address books private.   Very dangerous...  invasion of privacy.

FB's latest changes (about weekly) are easy to screw up (or some don't care)...  but I see thoughts & messages from some young family members which very likely will come back to bite them in the butt.

Lulzsec and anonymous are the the two groups that are going to shutdown Facebook. They have set a date of November 5th. The have been responsible for some of the Sony hacks and have hacked the FBI, CIA and other government/law enforcement entities

Hope those hackers accomplish their mission is all I have to say...

I have fucking friends that tried to get me on that dumbass crap. Even tried to get my sister to convince me to. She told them it was 'fucking tame' to what I do here now.

Fucking kids. Buy 'em books, send 'em to school...

is to use the "connections" between people to sell products.  The problem with them is that they can be used to invade our privacy.   I think that privacy is an important part of dignity.

No thanks.
