You must be new here, especially on the Politics board. LOL! Nah. Unfortunately, this isn't seen here alone. It seems to be becoming an international trait! It is. One of the benefits of social media and the Internet.

Last week I sent a private meesage to another Facebbook friend who was passing along the news James Earl Jones had passed away. Showed her it was a hoax. Jeeez folks-just because it is on Facebook or the Internet doesn't mean it is true. Do some essy research for yourself.

Facebook is a monster that never lets you really leave- I got tired of it years ago and it yet it holds your information- and does it even when you go through the nuclear option- which they hide in their layers of BS. I think it is pretty much impossible to actually get out of it no matter what you do and no matter how many Rube Goldberg hoops you go through.

I just see what is going on elsewhere. Mostly it is people changing their profile picture and just about everyone going "Ohhh", "Ahhhhh" "Your so beautiful, Debbie" or "You still got it, Ed." Meh.

It was posted by one of my conservative friends on Facebook. She was outraged 'Impeach Obama' and the like. I did her a favor, sent her a private Facebook message with a link to Dinali National Park and suggested she remove the post so she wouldn't appear ignorant to her other Facebook friends. Did she? She did and offered a thanks.

This wasn't a leaked cable unless the national news picked up the incorrect info. All I caught was Obama apologized to Japan. Then I would think it would be nothing to find a link to a story. Got one? No. It was national news and I don't recall what day it was. Sorry. Could be the announcer making stuff up.

Not as bad as Comcast where they transfer you to a harassment specialist to talk you out of it. The problem with Facebook is that they already have all of your information, pictures, etc. Leaving Facebook is like leaving the mafia- they will delete you when you are dead- maybe.
