Im prolly wrong, but I see those social networking sites really coming back to screw people over in 10 or 15 years when they start looking for real jobs and their future boss looks at the nude pictures you posted in highschool. Which they will see.

In the beginning children and women and men were told not to put any personal info on the net bacause everyone could see it or find it. And no PICTURES.

Well I guess everyone took a big old STUPID pill. I mean how stupid is it to put pictures and phone numbers, addy's oh you name it. All the good stuff a PREDITOR wants to know. And the children are doing it so parents don't even know. And we wonder why our children are being murdered.

People are serving up their own children and just like everything else they want someone to protect them from this too.
Wake up and protect yourself cause if you think LAW ENFOCREMENT means protecting you, Think again. They are just there to clean up the blood and show how they are doing such a good job trying to find the KILLER. Now if any of you citizens want to put your life on the line by turning in the KILLER and doing the Cops job well your next on the killers list and he will be out soon because you don't believe in the DEATH penalty, If he even gets to prison.

Wasn't it bad enough when they could just track your IP addy and had no idea who or what you were.

I have a Facebook account cuz I aspire for my wall posts to become newsworthy, been seeing lots of mention on the news lately about so and so's facebook wall posts!

Facebook is actually a very effective social networking tool. Every event I have attended over the last 2 years has exclusively been advertised on Facebook. No calls, emails, texts, nothing. It's all on facebook now.

It is a shame how they steal your information though. And also scary for the risk of sexual predators.

However, I am more than happy to put ridiculous pictures of myself up. That's just how I operate, I'm an open book. If an employer doesn't want to hire me because they find a picture of me chugging a beer from 5 years ago, then so be it. I probably don't want to work with those sorts of people anyways.

I understand if you are currently stuck halfway up the corporate ladder and disagree with me on this. But that's not the life I live.
