If you read the above carefully, there are explanations of how, if bad people hack into your account & impersonate you, they would then have access to all of your friends, being able to see their names & dates of birth, etc, & defraud them by opening credit cards in their names, etc. If you care about your friends, you will tighten up your security. If you want to feel sorry for yourself, wallow in self-pity & make your friends as miserable & angry at life as you, do nothing. Who knows, mebbe after all your friends are defrauded with help from your account, you can be a 'victim' & sue the crook (in Nigeria) & get rich off of your freinds problems. Suck it up & change your settings. You'll feel better about being a real man in this society. Jeff,

Nobody would ever want it. I have no credit whatsoever. My score has to be 400 or less. No credit cards. No bank account, I cant open a bank account because of check systems. I am also a felon for carrying a concealed weapon, gun in the car. Oh, and I dont have a drivers license either. If anyone even wants to trade identity give me a shout I dont have to worry about identity theft. Nobody would ever want it. I have no credit whatsoever. My score has to be 400 or less.
