@Indian: Pakistan is not that backward what is being perceived and portrayed. Pakistan space and atmosphere program is a reality. Launched the first satellite in 1990. http://usindiamonitor.com/2012/07/08/eye-opener-an-indian-american-visits-pakistan/

8 million fake !!!
Wow! Pakistan zindabad! Finally, we have something to boast about. Forget feudalism. Forget terrorism. Forget corruption and nepotism, hunger and thirst. This is a very important news item.
@optimist: Your country is still backward in IT, Space science, infrastructure etc when compared to India. For your kind information, the first facebook office outside USA is at Hyderabad, India.
It's time for us to shift to a social network like Zurker which gives full freedom of speech and privacy.
Facebook is good to socialize with the rest of the world, but the filth in it cannot be tolerated.
In addition to men posing as women and boys as girls, there are lot of Facebook users in Pakistan who are also gays and homosexuals.
One more core problem of computer, internet and more particularly of Facebook is that its users gets isolated with rest of the family members for a very long time which is also creating problems in the families.
To be very precise in saying, I would term that Facebook has created more gaps between the own family members who are present in the house in reality, rather than making fake friendship on Facebook, who may become short time friends and then leave the other Facebook friends abruptlly.
The Social Scientists must determine one fact whether Facebook is hearting its users or making people happier in the real sense?
Premature...

I alone have 126 fake profiles impersonating random girls.
No roti to eat. No electricity to benefit from. No CNG to run autos. No Izzat. No safety. No justice. No nokkri. No humanity. No nothing. But facebook & tweeter. Oh yes, that pakkies have to have. Cant live without it a day. How priorities have changed lately.
5 million of 10 million would be fake profiles of girls by perverts.
Bangladesh 2%, Pakistan 4% and India 5% . And if we listen to people from these poor countries, they try to make you believe that their country is more advanced than the USA in IT and NASA is nothing without them....
