(99) Yom Tov Glaser

(99) Yom Tov Glaser: "for us all to "accept" someone's essence. The idea being their "essence" is who they truly are. I believe that these days there is a great deal of hatred amongst groups, within communities, and nations. I believe I have heard somewhere that it was "hatred for no reason" that was the cause of the destruction of the 2nd Holy Temple? If one group, community, or nation specifically defines themselves as hating another group, community or nation, then I would think it would be extremely difficult fot the "hated" group, to like the other group. So consider this problem, if group X, exists simply to destroy group Y- (for no particular reason) how can group Y "transcend the natural reciprocal hatred" and not allow themselves simply to hate group X? Setting this up as an equation works"

Ask the user to Login with Facebook, requesting specific permissions.
Receive those permissions from the user (otherwise the process ends here).
Make back-end Graph API requests from your server code to get the relevant information from the user's Facebook social graph.
Present the user with options that you could make sense of (such as matching email addresses or even names with users you already have), be it users you already have (hey, this Friend of yours is on our site, would you like to say hello?) or invites to your site (we don't have a record of your Friend visiting our site, click here to invite them!), etc."
