“Who cares” is rude? Oversensitivity is not a virtue.

People complain about all kinds of things that just aren’t worth worrying about.

Excuse me, but who are you to decide that what some find worrisome isn’t worth worrying about? I think people that don’t worry about security on the internet when we have a sociopath Marxist in the WH with a bunch of Pinko czars and staff..... is a complete idiot.

AS an avid FaceBook user the only thing the button does is allow people like me to post a link to FR from FB. Those who do not have FB will not be able to use the button unless they decide to set an account up over there.

Social Networking is a way to reach others with the conservative message. You don’t have to use it or like it (no pun intended) - but it’s valid. I personally have seen the power of FB to reach an audience. My sister has a page that has over 11,000 followers and has 3,000 active users each day - and it only deals with early childhood education.

I think Jim’s on the right track with implementing these kinds of features.

Excuse me, but who are you to decide that what some find stupid and trivial is worth worrying about? I am as qualified as you to determine whether this is worthwhile. It isn’t.

I think people that whine about facebook are ... whiners. If you’re that worried about security, don’t sign up. Its not complicated.

It’s driving my browser crazy. Whenever I click on a thread that has it, my browser starts taking up 65-85% of my CPU. If I shut off javascript, then features that I need on other websites won’t work. Make it go away.

Feel free to ignore those buttons. This is FREE Republic, is it not?

".... is a complete idiot."

I have a feeling that anyone who disagrees with you on anything is the "complete idiot."

Well, I hope they get the kinks out before FR starts using FB. I just signed up for FB, so I can comment on a news website with FB’s social plug-in, and I can’t get it to work, and I can’t find help with it anywhere. I’m the only one who can see my comments, and that’s only when I’m signed in to FB. I must be doing something wrong, but I sure can’t figure it out. It’s been driving me crazy for the last 2 days!

embedding the message into every single thread is a bit much.

What about that "natural born citizen" spam? Lovin' that I bet. Eh?
