How safe is it, if at all, to friend strangers on Facebook?

i wouldnt add anyone i didnt know, there is really no point, they will start to get information that they shouldnt from your updates and things.

if your posting on such pages, your only going to be attracting the attention of a certain type of person, pretty sure there not the kind of person that you want on your friends list.

also if your account get's hijacked, or someone attempts to log into your account multiple times and it's locked, Facebook have a superb system (sarcasm, it's horrible) to get your acount back, to show that it's you logging in you have to identify who is in the picture they show about 5 diffrent sets, like match the name to the pictures. and most of the time these pictures are not even of the people but random things that they or you or someone has been tagged in, so takes an age to get your account back.
