Please don't throw rotten fruit at me! As for Facebook, I would be on there. However, I had a couple of unfortunate things happen to me. For one, I was hacked and forced to create a new account. Then, after awhile, I forgot my password and had to attempt to reset it. When I submitted my ID to Facebook, they said they couldn't confirm it was me and basically told me I would have to create yet a third account. With hackers being so rampant on there I figured that if I started sending out friend requests, people would be suspicious of me, so I've basically just said the hell with Facebook.
