<p>People like to have theme parties–shocking I say. Some people need to get lives and quit snooping around in other peoples’. I have been married to people in the med professions for many years and many of them are great cutups. They live very stressful lives and they need to cut loose sometimes. It’s the ones that don’t you need to worry about.</p>
<p>^I agree…but just don’t post it on your FB page. ;)</p>
<p>Private lives should be kept private…</p>
<p>We aren’t snooping, snooping is looking in people’s windows. How can you snoop when its on a site that others can look and and, gasp, share with anyone and everyone.</p>
<p>Cutting lose, who cares, but why the NEED to advertise it to each other? isn’t the cutting lose enough, or does it need to be shared, and yes it is sharing with pretty much the whole world, whether you want to admit it or not.</p>
<p>People immature enough to have to share their private lives of drunken behavior, etc, in pictures, are also immature enough to get even with people, take those pictures and post them elsewhere, and whatever. Once you put up any pictures, on the web, they are no longer private, they are public, regardless of “privacy settings”.</p>
<p>Friends turn on each other, happens all the time. If these adults didn’t advertise to each other their funtimes, on the internet, we would have no idea. Its not snooping.</p>
<p>It is just amazing that people think facebook or anything else is private. </p>
<p>Imagine this, and its not so far fetched. A girl sees her bf in those pictures, and they breakup. How easy would it be to do something with those pictures? Pretty easy. Drag it, print it, share it elsewhere. Send it anonmously to the boss or the parents.</p>
<p>Again, cutting loose is fine, but this need to advertise it and keep reliving it, and showing off or whatever is the motivation is not real smart, especially when the pictures are tacky, stupid, and possibly illegal</p>
<p>My Ds have lots of pictures on facebook, but they are carefully edited. If they are drinking or doing something “wrong”, you would never no it from the pictures. They are smart enough to know that once its out there, regardless of the so-called privacy settings, its out there.</p>
<p>I think knowing what is actually pretty normal behavior is better for most people in the long run. Then they won’t get all sanctimonious about what are really normal things.</p>
<p>People have the idealistic view that physicians/soon to be physicians are focused only on education and have only a dedication to the people, while this may be true, physicians are also human and they make they same mistakes as everyone else. Though it does look pretty foolish when you see such proffessional people committing such acts (though it would not bug you one bit if you saw normal college students doing such things). One would think that medical students would be smart enough to at least set their profiles on private, I mean come on, they cant be that ignorant…</p>
<p>barrons, its not sanctimonious to think that posting drunken pictures of yourself all over the web is just stupid. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>What is this sudden need to share with the world how tacky you are? What you look like drunk? </p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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!!</p>
<p>What is this need, for adults, to publicize all their antics?</p>
<p>To me its not the behavior, per se, it more the idea that </p>
<ol>
<li> adults feels this need to post pictures of drunken selves at parties</li>
<li> that they actually think its private</li>
<li> that they think no one will care or think its just stupid</li>
<li> that it will have no consequences in their lives to post the pictures</li>
<li> that people will honor the “privacy” aspect at all times and never share the pictures</li>
</ol>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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</p>
