    ghicks...Bush got shite deep in debt with China way before President Obama's 100+ days in office. By the way, 95% of Americans who earn less than 250G's /year will get tax breaks under the reformed tax plan. Why is it socialism when the 5% of Americans finally have to pay a slight bit more than the middle class and poor? Bush skewered the middle class and poor with 30+% tax and handed injust tax breaks for the wealthy...17%???; some weathy even found "legal" loopholes to weasel out of paying any tax under the Bush regime...0%!!! The Bushes, Reagan, Tricky Dick Nixon, and many other knee benders to corporate whim on the right fringe, have hoodwinked our nation long enough trying to pretened their "patriotism" while scamming the true strength of our economy...the middle/working class. The right fringe loonigans are glaring examples of socialist elitism sending our economy off a cliff. The party is over for these robber-barons.

    Facebook censors huh? Well I was looking for a reason to quit using fb and now I have a good legitimate one (other than it just being a total waste of time).

      Yes it's true, they are free to decide what stays and goes on and if you don't like it go somewhere else but let's face it, Facebook has a double standard of what's "moral" breastfeeding wouldn't be an issue on the first place if it was the norm. I myself used to feel uncomfortable about it since I was bottle fed and didn't grow up seeing it being done but once I surrounded myself by smart people and read about it learned that it is the best thing to do for your child and yes, I personally wouldn't show any of my nipple but the truth is most women who do post their pictures doing it barely show any skin at all and if they did so what? is what breasts were made for on whether some might like it or not .

    Another growing social network that reviews every piece of content posted is www.tangle.com. They have a strong video component like YouTube, but you can also do most of the things you can do on Facebook. They don't wait for users to flag content (but they can), they are proactive in weeding out questionable content. It is really refreshing.

    Ya - The above boons take away your freedom of speach. Theirs no porn on FB - they prevent grown ups from posting and making regular conversation. They want you to connect to many people - but you can't actually virtually talk to them ! OR, FB boonies and Mark Zuckerberg CEO will shut down your account. See; the more people they have listed, the more personal infromation of others they can sell and use those people to sell to advertisers how many people view FB. But, since we can't actually virtually talk to each other with out being shut down. Most sut up an account and never use it. Facebook is a wait of time -

      ghicks - I would STRONGLY suggest you obtain an education in English and spelling if you insist on posting such ridiculous responses. This kind of response simply proves that FB needs to edit the site!!!!!!

    some complain about seeing a woman wip her tit out to feed a child or about seeing a person on the john, but they still look at it! They say is disgusting but they can't take their eyes off of it. I say #^@* it! the body is a natural normal thing and it should be treated as such. Only a perv thinks theres anything wrong with exposed breasts or legs or but cheecks. And if u don't wana see it... DON'T! is that easy. Evry one wants to regulate evry one. why not LIVE AND LET LIVE? I personally like to look at naked man and woman, the human body is a beautifull thing just like evrything else in this world. In the end we're all animals wheather we admit it or not, some are just more closed minded than others. Screw FaceBook and anyone else out there being a hypocrit!

    Trust me, we are calling Facebook employees and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the Russians of yesterday. Socialist's !! I was posting nice postings with my 45 friends and 50 groups. They ONLY want people to put their names on FB so they can claim how many customers they have...then don't really let their customers exercise the use of Facebook. They just want people to input all their personal information to sell it ? or, to sell how great their site is to get large companies to pay advertising to use the site because the customer actually thinks people use FB and get benefits from it ? Facebook is useless. You make 2 postings and boom, you have to shut down and find something else to do or you'll be banned from the site !!! Facebook is useless - If I connect to any more people wont be able to actually contact them or post. So why should I connect to people ? Just to connect and not carry on a conversation ? What the F-----how stupid. Mark will be loosing soon. More sites on the horizon with more benefits.

    Is internet porn causing his low sex drive?

    I recently discovered my 60 year old husband looking at internet porn of scantily clad young women. He has always had a lower sex drive than me and now I know why. Why did he do it?

    Find answer here:

    This is a bit off-topic, but can be as meaningful as FB issue.

    Just to let you know, we call these people "ethic Taliban" in HK. China government wants to popularize its internet spying action to HK, and HK government brings up a talk of ethic, supporting the religious groups (Christians) and some parents to call everything on internet "porn" and make the society thinks student always browse on porn sites, allowing the government to spy on people.

    Compared to HK, this is just "old fashioned" style of maintenance.

    You don't notice the existence of freedom, until you lose it. Freedom is the description of "nothing", and this nothing is really important, more important than everything.

    We are growing to hate Facebook more and more. That's why Twitter is popular. I have 45 friends on Facebook. I posted 10 talks and Facebook dweebs shut me down. We are fet up and finding alternatives to connect. FB wont tell you how many postings you can make, they just keep shuting you down ! Some think it's because they love Obama - if Your NOT Obama then your posting will be limited.

    Facebook is constantly filled with tons and tons of hardcore porn. Not too long ago on Facebook, I watched a 23 minute movie, with sound, of a young woman giving oral sex to a horse! And a week later, the movie was still there! Those Facebook "nipple cops" delete the entire accounts of Facebook customers all the time for posting photos that show a woman in a swimsuit that doesn't cover her entirely, yet they miss almost all of the REAL porn! What an absurd yet obnoxious joke those "cops" are!

    • Posted By: Anacosmo @ 05/04/2009 6:50:23 PM

      Instead of calling them inadequate, why don't you report the porn to them and help them-Even if it isn't your job. At least Facebook is trying to do something. If you are still finding porn, that should tell you how prevalent it is. And why did you watch that film for the whole 23 minutes? Did you report it to them? I'm so sick of all the porn I no longer use any form of chat, messageing, or social networking. I am sick to death of men whose only interest in females is sexual. And men wonder why most women think they are stupid and can't think of anything but sex-either it must be true or the decent men haven't got the nerve to put their sick buddies in check.

      • Posted By: PageWraith @ 05/05/2009 1:14:59 AM

        I'm going to give you the trifecta. First, their decent friends bought them the porn and are watching it with them. You also might want to take some sex ed classes. I'll let you in on a little secret - MEN ARE BUILT THAT WAY! You will not change the way they think.

      • Posted By: PageWraith @ 05/05/2009 1:04:19 AM

        Oh, and by the way there sure doesn't seem to be any shortage of women who make these videos/pictures. Sounds like your blaming the cause on the wrong sex.

      • Posted By: PageWraith @ 05/05/2009 12:57:20 AM

        Think about your rant that you just posted, what other interest could a guy possibly have in you besides driving his car into a brick wall as the sound of your relentless voice carves a hole in the back of his head.

        To "cutenube" and "Anacosmo": I don't have any problem with a woman giving oral sex to a horse if that is how she wants to spend her time, nor do I have a problem with someone else filming it for 23 minutes, nor any problem with anyone posting such a video online. What I do have a problem with is ignorant, unevolved people who think sex of any kind (except that imposed via actual unwanted violence) is somehow "sick" or "perverted." I also have a real problem with the utter, absolute hypocrisy of a site like Facebook that is basically DESIGNED to allow porn to be constantly posted on their site, and then PRETENDS to have people enforcing a "family friendly" policy by deleting users' entire accounts when all they've posted were something like shots of a girl in a thong bikini taken on a public beach, while leaving tons of truly hardcore porn on their site for weeks or months at a time! If they didn't WANT porn on the site, all they'd have to do would be to have a policy where all photos or videos had to be approved BEFORE they got posted. Facebook is NOT a "family friendly" site, nor is it a "user friendly" site, and it will never be either one of those things until it stops the massive hypocricy!

    • Posted By: cutenube @ 05/04/2009 7:28:08 PM

      you must really ill in the head to watch a girl do that to a horse that is not even close to being normal.....and for 23 mins are you serious?? what the heck??? guys who even think about watching that need help and not only that just reading the title of the video should have been a hint that your a pervert!

  • Posted By: misskittyami @ 05/05/2009 1:11:36 AM

    I don't know. I feel if you want even just come CLOSE to exposing everything then go post it on a porn site. I'm a woman who likes mystery below the belt on a man. And I think women should leave a little mystery around the boobs and below the belt, as well. If a person doesn't then they are gonna mostly people who just want sex from them and nothing else. Cover yourselves up please.

  • Posted By: deejay61992 @ 05/05/2009 12:54:34 AM

    Porn is disgusting and has no place for a social network. These people are doing something to stop people from showing their bodies on a popular social network! When i go on these places, I am not looking to see a pic of someone having sex or not wearing clothes, it shows lack of disrespect. Maybe u shouldn't be so exposed when you are feeding your baby, cover your breasts more. They are only being careful and doing their job, you are not exempt even if what you are doing isnt pornographic, its still exposing. So get over it people, porn is gross, be thankful someone is trying to stop it so your children don't find a new hobby to take up their time on the internet!!!!!

  • Posted By: txrockerboy @ 05/05/2009 12:53:38 AM

    Wow!!! When are Americans going to learn, when you dont want someone to do something they are going to do it!!!.
    Nipples or buttcrack isnt that big of a deal. Just as the Europeans and pretty much every other country out there besides we @ss backward Americans show nudity on television, internet or whatever.

    Tell your kids not to smoke ciggarettes-They wonder why you tell em and they go out and smoke and rebel
    Tell your daughter not to have sex and shes wonders why and shes out in vegas stripping the rest of her life
    Dont smoke marijuana..........you get it

    blah blah blah cyber cops get a real job.....you can flag this too if you like

  • Posted By: billmichael @ 05/05/2009 12:48:16 AM

    Screw you FACEBOOK...!!! Screw your fascist censorship of the human race. Most of all, SCREW your ADVERTISERS. Let them all go to Ladie's Home Journal or some place like that.

  • Posted By: busnessdonkey @ 05/05/2009 12:41:07 AM

    I am sick of "kids" as the universal excuse for fascism. You chose to have them so why do you, raise them. Keep them indoors and wrapped in bubble rap if you want, but stop making the rest of us pay for YOUR children!

  • Posted By: CarolinaMamma @ 05/05/2009 12:32:40 AM

    I agree that porn cops are needed as there are "kids" on this site. I due take issue with the fact that I have a very good friend of mine who has had her account deleted half a dozen times because she was breastfeeding in some pictures on her profile. No nipple was showing and she was certainly showing less than some string bikini clad teeny-bopper. What is offensive to me is the 18 year old girl covering her breasts with her arm and only wearing panties. I can explain the Breastfeeding to my 3 year old son and 9 & 7 year nieces...The other picture not so much..KWIM?

      what a bunch of crap

  • Posted By: busnessdonkey @ 05/05/2009 12:36:27 AM

    oops! sorry for accidently posting it twice. please call the cybercops on me. i should be punished!!!

  • Posted By: busnessdonkey @ 05/05/2009 12:34:08 AM

    What a bunch of prudes! Now everyone's a cybercop. Facebook fascism. Everyone has control over their own mouse, so why don't they just use it instead of informing the Gestopo.

  • Posted By: Ababy27 @ 05/05/2009 12:31:08 AM

    I agree with what facebook is doing but I don't think they have it down to a science yet. In some cases you have to use moral judgement as well, such as the girl in panties only and the guy in a thong and angel wings. Those pics are morally subject while a pic of a breastfeeding mother that may show a hint of areola is deleted. I don't think it can be just the nipple rule, the crack rule, and the butt rule, etc... There has to be more to it than that.
