    Why stop there.

    Why not have a call police button for when you think your friend is being attacked.
    Why not have a call fire department button incase your friend is on fire.
    Why not have a call ambulance service button incase your friend is dying....

    Or people could use a thing called a phone and dial directly to an emergency service - or are kids so dumb now that don't know this number.

    this button would make such awesome facebook raping.

    tbh thinking about it, why is there a option to change in the menu if your male or female?

    other than fraping i cant think of anything

    Re: News - Facebook unveils suicide alert function with Samaritans

    But those people who truly want to die tend to take steps to avoid discovery.. which includes not posting on FB. Which leaves the (much larger) group of self-harmers who want to be discovered and who will be discovered whether or not they post on FB. The ones who are seeking attention and are simply wasting considerable time and money (yes that's right, that child can't have this new chemotherapy because you thought it would be a good idea to take a dozen paracetamol last night because you split up with your boyfriend). It's the frequent attenders who really get to me.

    What I really want from FB is the ability to completely delete a profile - not just freezing it keeping all the data available for admins etc.
    Besides who cares if some low-life idiot decides to kill himself ? Stop pretending to be special and misunderstood and get a life. There's over 3 billion people living on less than $2 a day and they don't commit mass suicides.

    Isn't there a 14 days period before your account gets deleted? i.e. if you login once your cancellation process gets cancelled?

    Doesn't seem so. But I'm gone from there - useless place.
