barrons, its not sanctimonious to think that posting drunken pictures of yourself all over the web is just stupid.

In the past, people would have parties, do stupid stuff, and not advertise how stupid they were to the whole world, as much as they think they aren’t on FB.

I don’t care if med student puck all over their shoes at 3am after dressing like donkeys for a party. I just don’t understnad the need to post pictures of yourself in that kind of condition for others to see.

What is this sudden need to share with the world how tacky you are? What you look like drunk?

Its just like girls gone wild. Girls will flash their chests, why who knows, but what is this need to take that to the next level and share with the world?

Is this generation so insecure that having the party isn’t enough, that it needs to be relived and shared with each and the world for all eternity? To show complete strangers, look how cool we are!! We drink!!! And wear halloween costume!!

What is this need, for adults, to publicize all their antics?

To me its not the behavior, per se, it more the idea that


adults feels this need to post pictures of drunken selves at parties
that they actually think its private
that they think no one will care or think its just stupid
that it will have no consequences in their lives to post the pictures
that people will honor the “privacy” aspect at all times and never share the pictures


I don’t care if they dresses like cadavors and their doctors in the morgue, do what you want, but why, if you are the need to be foolish for all to see and to document it?

barrons, would you want pictures of your drunken relatives out there? i would hope my relatives would be smart enough to not take pictures of themselves in a drunken stupor and then post them
