Did you really think that was gonna be free?

Did you really want to see someone in pain and anguish from a spider bite?

Why would you want to see someone committing suicide anyway?

YOU CLICKED ON WHAT? WHY?

ARE YOU CRAZY?

Vent over.............

The first and fourth are standard fare for spam emails.  The second and third...  :o  I'm glad I don't have FB.

In answer to the fifth one, you probably don't want to know.
"Do you sing at church?"
"Yes I sing at church, I sing at home, at work, in the car, at the supermarket, at Wal-Mart..."

The problem is that people don't want to believe that their friends are gullible, stupid or would post anything that is wrong, incorrect, sinful, or bad.

Might not be the friends' fault.  Some people get hacked and then the hacker uses their account to send other people stuff.

Not everything is a hacker on FB - most of the time it is simply an ID-10-T error!

I have a friend who buys cheap laptops - he doesn't pay attention to what he clicks on or downloads. I had to show him how to empty his recycle bin - he never knew he had it and what it was for. When his computer gets slow, the throws it away and buys another on.

Another friend of mine complained that it took 15 to 30 minutes to load his computer when he turned it on.  He had 10 GB of info on his Desktop.   We  had a session that morning about how to set up folders in "My documents" and "my pictures". I don't know how many times I have had to go to his house or office and found that he was doing it again.

Another friend couldn't understand how he was getting virus' on his computer, I had to introduce him to Anti Virus Software.

Yes there are hackers out there, but not everything on FB or even in Email was caused by hackers - hackers are like the devil, they often get blamed for things they didn't do.  People do something dumb and say " a hacker did it" / "the devil made me do it"! 

You were stupid and clicked on the wrong thing... "The hacker did it". NOPE! ID 10 T error!

You fell on the ice, broke your leg and missed church? The devil did not do it to stop revival, you were too lazy to shovel and salt your sidewalk!

You ran out of gas on the way to church? The devil did not siphon your gas, if you had left 15 minutes earlier you could have purchased gas.

You suddenly have a porn search bar on your browser?  You clicked on the wrong thing, pay attention before clicking)

Facebook will not donate a dollar each time a picture of a sick kid has been shared.

Applebee's will not send you a free gift card if you forward that email to 10 people!

The Flying Keester Chicken Ranch and rest home for retired turkeys will not send you a free turtledove is your forward their webpage to 20 of your closest friends.

I bet it was more than one.  I've had multiple friends who never even knew what it was.  "Oh, that Norton trial stuff that came with the computer?  Yeah, it lasted 60 days.  What's it do?"

The main problem, as counterintuitive as it may sound, is that it is too easy to use a computer and get online these days.  A user doesn't need to know anything at all except where the power button is, where the default home page's search bar is and how to hunt and peck on the keyboard.  So we have literally millions of people running a computer on a broadband connection, still using Internet Explorer, without even a simple freeware antivirus, antispyware or even a firewall.

I believe a new laptop should come with a plastic sheet over the screen that says "FOR YOUR OWN SAKE please get an antivirus and don't click on anything you aren't sure you can trust.  Also, please make a backup of your whole system as soon as you get it set up... it's dead easy to do in Windows 7.  If you fail to follow these instructions, on your own head be it."
"Do you sing at church?"
"Yes I sing at church, I sing at home, at work, in the car, at the supermarket, at Wal-Mart..."

I have yet to hear of someone that got hacked without first clicking on something.  And when they do, it posts the bad link to all their friends' pages, usually as a new and different picture.

I fell for it twice I think on FB when I first joined.  But if you don't click, you don't have any issues.  It's like an advertisment that you're ignorant... LOL 

Since the picture can change from what you clicked on like the "Spider Bite" but repost as porno pictures, I don't assume that the person clicked on the nasty stuff.

GASP!

All this time I thought Nathan was pregnant with his 14th kid, and living on welfare, all because I saw the link on your page, and now you are telling me its not true?!?!

One thing that bugs me about FB is how its EVERYWHERE!  Every page that you go to with a FB icon, it shows how many of your friends "like" the page.  It seems to track you every where you go...and I am pretty sure there have been accusations about that.

Then lately, every time you read a article on yahoo, it shows on your fb profile.  Not good.

Doesn't show on my FB profile...  :hypocrite:

Yeah, the automatic reposting MellowYellow was talking about is what I meant in my first post in this thread.  I got the same effect (sort of) through email.  A friend of mine got his yahoo email account hacked and invites sent to all the addresses in his address list.  Fanbox is eeeeevil!  He didn't know his email account had sent them.  If he HAD sent them himself I would have been really ticked, because I kept getting flooded with "You have a new friend" emails.  Flagging them as spam didn't work because Fanbox kept generating new user names from which to send them.  I finally had to google up a way to block their whole site.

You had to somehow allow that for it to happen.

Or just forget to sign out of FB.  Wait... does anyone sign out these days?
