Facebook group? [UPDATED!]



Today I stumbled on what I believe is a great injustice.  There is a Facebook group entitled "Canadians for the F-35 Lightning II."  It currently has 410 members.  The fact that over 400 people think that the F-35 would be the right choice for Canada is disturbing enough, but what really bothers me is that there is no "Canadians for the JAS-39 Gripen" group!

Now, for some odd reason, Mr. Zuckerberg has decided that a "group" needs more than a single person, so I can't start one by myself.  If you feel like I do, that Canada would be better served with the faster, cheaper, better Gripen E/F over the F-35 (or anything else for that matter), and feel we should spread the word on Facebook, then let me know!

Either post a link to your Facebook homepage if you are feeling brave, or simply contact me at ravenankh@gmail.com  (weird username, I know).  Once there are a few people on board, I will start an open Facebook group.  Anybody in that group can post links, pictures, or whatever.  My only request is that the group stay on topic (let's keep the cat pictures to minimum, please).

I'm interested in hearing what you all think about this, please let me know!

[UPDATE]
I'm having trouble finding people to send out group requests.  Here is my Facebook profile page:  https://www.facebook.com/DrGonzho  Just send me a friend request and I'll send back a group invite!

    Mmm.. a bit off topic.. something is wrong with the quicklink to "How the five fighters stack up."
    It takes you to a different page than the on listed under "Home", stating some different ranges & comments.

      The quicklink goes to a separate and more "permanent" page. I made a few changes after finding more accurate information, and I will continue to do so.

      I neglected to change the actual post to reflect this, thanks for letting me know, I'll change it as soon as I can!

    Go for it! But, that said, I've created several groups myself so I don't know what the issue is that you are having.

      For some reason, It won't let me start one without inviting people to start it with me. I would prefer it if the contributors here to joined me as "founding members".

    I've added an update with a link to my Facebook profile page for anyone who wants to send a friend request! Once received, I'll send an invite to the Facebook Group once it's up and running.
