Java is an object oriented language that is painfully slow but theoretically easier to learn than languages like C.

The "painfully slow" quality was once true but has not been a valid criticism for over ten years now.  Yes, optimized C can run marginally faster, but Java in a modern Java Virtual Machine runs like a bat.
 
Java is not "theoretically" easier to learn than C.  It is unquestionably easier to learn.  It also is far more efficient in the pursuit of producing working, bug-free code due to the compiler's enforcement of type safety, the lack of a pointer data type, and a considerably more elegant object model.  Sadly (for us Java enthusiasts anyway) the language is of little or no use in musical applications.  C/C++ rules in this area and probably always will for the foreseeable future.  Too bad, since Java has a killer set of classes for working with MIDI data and files.

Then again if Sonar was made with Java it would force people to have 'dangerous' software needed to run Java apps, right?

But I LIKE dealing with triple-dereferenced pointers!

I never clicked the 'allow' button on the message.
I deleted Java from the computer and now when I go to FB I get this message:
"this webpage wants to run the following add-on: 'control name is not available' from 'not available' ". I don't click that 'allow' button, either.
Definitely something fishy going on.
I mean besides facebook.

I just take screen shots of those errors and forward them to the NSA. I mean, they're watching all of this anyway, so they must have some idea what's going on. Oh, just a minute. There's someone at the door. They're really insistent.

Sounds fishy indeed. You could run Malwarebytes or HitmanPro or something similar just in case your computer has been compromised. Even better thing to do could be to restore your Windows to an earlier state that hopefully is malware free. Or you could try another browser to find out if the same happens. And you could take a look and see if there is some fishy browser plugins lurking in your browser.

You could also try typing the FB address manually instead of clicking on a bookmark and you could also check the bookmark if there is something wrong with it(all assuming you actually use bookmarks).

I never use bookmarks.  Waste of time.

But whenever I'm on Facebook, I get a message from FB that it needs to run the Java Runtime Environment Update XXX.
If Ive already installed the update, shouldn't it be running already?
Has anyone else seen this when on FB?

This particular message seems to be asking permission to run the already installed Java Runtime Environment. If Java is installed on your computer, there are settings in the "Java Control Panel" (Configure Java) that allow you to permit it to run on your browser at all, and to run with various "security levels." If the site cannot work because of this kind of security issue, then you need to enable a less secure interaction if you want it to do what the site intends. When the Java security fiasco began, there were all kinds of articles advising to disable browser access or set security levels to high. In fact one of the first security "patches" released was just an automated setting of the security level to high. A series of patches followed that seemed not to fix the problem or not to fix new problems that kept cropping up. No one really trusts Java anymore, so most recommendations now are to just get it off the machine unless you really need to use it for something. Definitely if you are going to use it you want to keep it updated.
