    Whoa there Cheese Dog -- I was merely commenting on the wording. At any rate, I filter, but its still a pain in the ass. I (and I'm sure many others) wish some brave hero would do something about it. Alas, I don't have the skills.... yet.

    White hats or security experts unfortunately have their hands tied.

    Your wording seems to indicate ignorance. They choose to not engage in illegal activity. That's the difference. Unless they're under federal surveillance or other such chicanery, they could choose to go black hat and deal out some wrath.

    The African governments are too stupid to know how to do it.

    Buddy, I think you mean to say "they do not currently possess the requisite skills." As in they haven't had enough exposure to the systems to get a feel for how to go about censoring effectively. Give 'em time and they'll be workin' it like china. I get you don't like the oppressive governments, but don't assume that they are stupid.

    Man, you must not know any teenagers. My daughter and her friends and their younger brothers and sisters wouldn't be caught dead on Facebook.

    Obviously your experience speaks for every young person in the world. Excuse me while I reel in my sarcasm. I know hordes of "cool" teenagers and college kids that use Facebook. Don't pretend you're a expert on the subject, cause you're not.

    As usual, the people who think they're going to make money off the trends of the young are a day late and a dollar short... Nobody makes money consistently predicting the interests of the young. And if they try, young people will make a fool of them every single time.

    Tell that to the people in the world who make the trends. They're making money hand over fist -- advertisement, fashion, cars, media, makeup, games, whatever is cool at the moment has already been packaged & sold.

    So crazy idea here, but what if there was a minimum time commitment to buying shares? Oh I know the investors would froth at the idea, and there would probably be other major problems (admin, legal, moral? - would depend on who you ask), but would it have a stabilizing effect on the markets? Would investors start investing a little more than money into companies, instead of spinning the wheel and picking the next day's trading itinerary?

    Probably not, I'm sure someone's coming down the pike to yell and berate this idea.

    Well if you're going to get all nit-picky -- balsa's a hard wood too. Just sayin. Besides, without a pilot hole most denser hard woods will split even if you screw a screw into them, forget the hammer. It also depends on how close to the end of a board you're screwing.
