Facebook questioning of commas

On Facebook, I noticed a friend of mine had posted a status asking if any 'English buffs' knew whether  a comma goes before or after the 'and' in a sentence, or not at all. Some friends had commented saying no comma, while others stated that because of the Oxford comma, and to make the sentence sound more grammatically correct, a comma should be placed before the 'and'.

I believe without the Oxford comma, the sentence is incomplete and can be taken a different way than the meaning originally intended.
