If you like FB at least admit it.

I like and use Facebook....I still get a kick out of how many people get all bent out of shape about both Facebook and MySpace.
If you want to use them.....use them.
If you don't......don't.

It's just that simple.

Thank you for this post Cruxan. After reading this, I did some research and learned about a virus that is Facebook related and has been confirmed by snopes: snopes.com: YouTube/Facebook Virus

This morning, I checked my email and lo and behold, there is an email that appears to come from Facebook but the email domain name did not appear to be connected to FB. The subject line states that (FB User name withheld) wants to share some Australian photos with me. I happened to know that this individual has never been to Australia and I am 99.5 percent certain that this did not even come from him. I deleted the email without even opening it and will be calling my FB contact to let him know that his computer may be infected. Now the Snopes link talked about a YouTube video and not Australian photos but I'm still going to play it safe as I cannot afford to have my machine infected with a virus. Had I not learned about the virus mentioned in the Snopes link, I probably would have downloaded the photos because I trust this individual who is a family member AND works in networking for a major company. The moral of the story is - Unless you are expecting an attachment from one of your email contacts, confirm the legitimacy before you download.

Wow! I had no idea this was happening. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I love Facebook. I found my family on there, just a few months ago! First time I seen or heard from most of them since 2003. And my sister, I haven't seen or heard from since 1999. It sure was great hearing from them again. And I found an old childhood friend of mine I hadn't seen or heard from since 1986 on there, when my parents and I moved from Beaumont to Livingston!! She remembered me very much too! We talk all the time now.

Facebook is the best family/friend finder!!
