This conversation is retarded.
The whole idea that Facebook is "pushing" you to be friends is totally retarded.

As the owner of a profile, you have the CHOICE to choose what you want to do, who you want to be friends with etc. The feature basically guesses "friends" based on multiple friends of yours already being "friends" to the people suggested. There is no reason that you have to become friends with them and send them annoying requests if you don't want to. And anyway, they have to ACCEPT your request anyway...

I would expect though that people who would love to be friends with their friends' "cute" friends are only too happy to use this feature and blame it on the program. Besides, you could always sift through your friends' friend list previously and contact people thus; so this new feature is just an accentuation of an older "social technique".

Anyway, the least facebook could probably do is to allow that feature to be hidden, or as an alternative, to NOT SUGGEST certain names that u could choose again.

And stop whining, the lot of you!
