That is pretty funny, grandpa looking for "Random Play" Wonder if Grandma knows

well, the wonders of Viagra!!!

I believe that Facebook simple does not have the firewalls and security that Google, Yahoo. etc. do. I have heard that it is easier to hack into accounts, to dig out personal info. etc. So even though it is a wonderful social utility, I would still post with caution, whether it be drunken pics. or sexual escapades, or how I cheated on the SAT.

Here is an excerpt from Facebook's Privacy Policy:
