People are allowed to make a wide range of groups and pages which can be insulting and offensive. Such groups highlight the ignorance and insensitivity of society towards serious subjects and severe crimes. Below is a list of examples of such groups which are freely allowed to be created and have a large number of members who contribute to the negative and offensive content.


- "You know shes playing hard to get when youre chasing her down an alleyway"

 http://www.facebook.com/pages/You-know-shes-playing-hard-to-get-when-your-chasing-her-down-an-alleyway/227051983998683

- "It's not rape if you yell surprise"
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Its-Not-Rape-If-You-Yell-Surprise/119803584712492

- "90% of all women are sluts"
http://www.facebook.com/pages/90-Of-all-Women-are-Sluts/150466281693209

- "10 reasons why Gay Marriage is wrong"
 http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2210341764

-" If sex is such good exercise why are there so many fat slags"
http://www.facebook.com/pages/If-sex-is-such-good-exercise-why-is-there-so-many-fat-slags/121249867968386


 Please sign this petition to bring these groups and the 100's of others which exist to the attention of Facebook and to stop a social networking site being used for hate campaigns and to increase regulation of the making of such groups.

The momentum is undeniable. This is proof that we refuse to accept hate as the status quo.
