The thing is I have never posted anything on facebook except comments on other peoples posts, I didn't even know how to remove it until accyman showed me the next day and then beefed up my settings, but even so, I am actually thinking of cancelling the account, so it looks like the a***hole who decided it was fun to **** about with somebody else life could have won, mainly because I can't be bothered trying to find out who it was, which is very luck for him (no chance of it being a woman) because he would have been sampling hospital food for a long time:mad::mad::mad:

I assumed you weren't responsible, Jay, so I deleted it (after examining it very carefully for clues). ;)

I don't click on most of the rubbish that is posted. I use it for keeping in touch with people I don't see often. Try and make your password secure and be careful what you do on the internet. Many trojans will collect your passwords and send them onto other. That is just the same on facebook or a forum or your email.

Its good to have different passwords for different sites. I have a few I use, one for on here is not used elsewhere, email, bank are different again and one for other forums I don't really care if it gets compromised although that one is strong anyway.

I have never had Facebook problems, I think you get those when you indulge in the silly games they have.

I think its just being careful. I dont pass on and dont often read email jokes for the same reason. SMS jokes are ok, I like sick, rude, non PC ones please :D

Even though I think online petitions are a waste of time I don't think this chap is so I signed this one. (I know, I am full of it :rolleyes: )

Government Launches e-Petitions Website Guido Submits “Restoration of Capital Punishment” Petition - Guy Fawkes' blog

He is intending to start a real campaign for the re introduction of capital punishment for child and cop killers. A lot of people listen to what he has to say including the media and MP's.

Re: Success of online petitions

The local press seem to like quoting how many members of a Facebook protest group there are.

It was oft reported in the press when the closure of Peel Street toilets were closed, and an online campaign to reinstate them was started.

I think that probably helped highlight public feeling, rather than hinder it.

I've signed a few national petitions, but never thinking it will make much difference.

Perhaps it's just good for the soul, and makes you feel better.

Like confession seems to for Catholics.
