Facebook - Love it or Leave it?

I see no reason to leave Facebook. If I really wanted to be a private person, I would never have made a profile. Honestly, I don't see the big deal about the privacy issue. If you don't want people to know stuff, don't put it out there for people to see. 10 seconds of research should net you enough information on what setting will allow who to see what.

The comments on this are funnier than the facebook post.

Yes, that’s right. The United States is a continent and America is the country. Thus Canada is a country in the States.

A continent? The States refers to the United States of America, which is a country. North-America is a continent.

Actually north-america is not a continent. It’s a part of the American continent

The one thing that bothers me about having my parents and older relatives as friends is that they all bitch about the privacy issues that have been brought up, but none think to simply leave facebook. They claim it's not an important part of their lives but can't bear to part with this horrible monster that's robbing them of their privacy.

I have never posted anything that I would worry about other people seeing, you know, since it's a social network. What is the concern people have about privacy issues because I am obviously missing something.

There's been a lot of concern about the privacy settings and the personalized ads or something. I don't know... I never had any problem hiding information I didn't want seen.

 

[Calleja]

Well, sometimes the information you think will be ok to share blows up.....on your face. Ify'knowwhatImean.

 

[makare]

Turbo, you so funny.

 

[Calleja]

Facebook can be fun with forumites too!

 

[Gusto]

We as forumites have certainly had better.

I can't cite any examples right now but Allen and I often embarrass Seej in front of her parents.

 

[Calleja]

Not eeeverything has to be a competition, Kevin. :blue:

 

[Gusto]

Says the loser.

(just kidding Fernando I love yooooooou)

You're only saying that 'cause you're losing.

edit

gusto got it first

 

[makare]

I dont interact much with the forumites I have friended on facebook unless they are also on irc.

 

[Calleja]

And you say you're not a clique

 

[makare]

I dont think that makes us a clique I still dont talk to them much on facebook. No one from the forum really responds to my facebook things. Nothing I can do about that.

 

[Null]

Hmmm, I should probably add you guys later on, now that I know who you are.

 

[Cajungal]

Hahaaa, that made work go by a little more quickly!

What Gusto says is also true. She doesn't know what to make of you two sometimes.

 

[Officer_Charon]

Too many Leslie Boudreaux.... Found Calleja, tho. *grins*

 

[Wasabi Poptart]

There is also a Halforums group on FB.

There is also a Halforums group on FB.

That makes it too real for me. I can click on the members list and see everyone's real name and real picture. It means you're all real!

WHO THE HELL IS FERNANDO CALLEJA?

WHY DOES HE LOOK SAD?!?

I just can't take it.

 

[Calleja]

I hate that guy.

Mine's just a picture of Mickey Mouse that I took, you have to dig to find a picture of me on there.

 

[Officer_Charon]

*chuckles* My department is in the middle of trying to stop our guys from putting any allusions to who we work for on any kind of social networking site. We can't even use the department's name, logo or anything like that.

My facebook page is something like an F-U to that policy, at least in the photos section. I'm not trying to hide anything, because I have nothing to hide.

 

[ThatGrinningIdiot!]

because I have nothing to hide.

It's in my experience that people who casually say this DO have something to hide.

 

[Officer_Charon]

Uhm... I am not a crook? I did not inhale? I did not have- waitasecond...... I plead the FIIIIIIIIFTH!

 

[Calleja]

Do suspects really do shout that in real life, OC?

 

[Officer_Charon]

No, they tend to get sullen and not say ANYTHING. New Supreme Court ruling says that's NOT invoking their right to remain silent - they have to actually tell you that they don't want to say anything to you.

One thing I can't talk about just yet that's come together for 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming is essentially because of Facebook.

wait, but why would that be necessary? Was that to clear up that people were invoking that right or...something else that I'm not seeing? And what happens if someone just doesn't say anything? Does that get counted as something?

Because before, it was kind of vague. If an arrestee didn't say anything, it was just generally ASSUMED, but never put into legal precedent that if they kept their mouth shut, they were invoking their right to not self-incriminate. However, this got put to the test by some detectives who kept asking questions of a silent suspect until he confessed to a murder.

Once it hit the Supreme Court, they ruled that a subject has to SPECIFICALLY invoke the right to remain silent. Otherwise, they're allowed to be treated as hostile and questioned until evidence comes forth like manna from the heavens.

But as soon as they say that they want to see a lawyer or that they want to remain silent, then it has been invoked, and questioning MUST cease at that point. The only way it can continue is if they decide later that they wish to waive their rights, usually heavily documented.

 

[Calleja]

Or because they're gonna turn in a bigger fish in exchange for a lesser sentence, right? RIGHT!? TV DOESN'T LIE ON EVERYTHING, RIGHT?!

 

[Officer_Charon]

It does happen, quite often. Then the dumbasses get out and go right back to what they were doing before. Tards.
