    Do I count as an uni related thing then?

    And subotan, of course they earn money if people just look at it, that's what all the ads are for after all.

    The more people use it, the more money Facebook makes, so it makes sense for them to encourage you to use it as much as possible, meaning that they want you to use it for more than just keeping tabs on far away people.

    Theres no escaping the fact that facebook along with other social networking sites, are completely free to use, you aren't forced to, even if they want you to it never appears that they are out to take your money at every turn.

    OK you and spartakus. But I "know" you in the sense that I knew who you were when I click confirm. Some people just add or confirm randoms.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Well, that goes for most webpages.

    I've added a few randoms, so far they haven't hurt me.

    I forgot to mention, you can have a lot of fun with people who contact you with whom you have no desire to link up. I was contacted this morning by a guy I barely remember from elementary school. I can't imagine why he's bothering. So I had some fun:

However, the 73rd clone escaped into the general population and attempted to start a normal life. That would be me.

    I have carefully reconstructed the sort of life I imagine my clone-father would have had, using photographs and letters as my guide. Even though I am hunted by elite assassins from our government, I feel this is the most fitting tribute to the original me that I can make. I would be happy to be your friend, but be warned—once you're connected to me in any way, the black helicopters are likely to come for you as well. They'll think you're helping me, and take appropriate actions. You may very well wake up underground on a metal table with a circular saw grinding through your sternum.

    If you're okay with that, sure, let's be friends!
