<p>Thats how I thought the scenario went afterwards. You just made it seem different. (grm check?)</p>
<p>I agree with Tom. You make mistakes and you learn from them. If you never make a mistake you a) were born omniscient or b) don’t know anything. I’m going with the latter.</p>
<p>
I agree completely. I have probably used every swear word there is, but with great care and deliberation. I try (can’t say I succeed) to not inflate the meaning of the word with careless rants and overindulging in such words. I, actually, reserve f for the instances in which I am genuinely mad or, for lack of a better word, instances in which i f’ed up (I mess up every minute, screw up every hour, but f ups are rare). </p>
<p>Learning the value of the words is important, but restricting the flow is just as bad. It’s like money. The government can’t print too much, but can’t restrict it either. Instead, it has to allow it until the system itself finds a good homeostasis point at which everything is properly balanced.</p>
<p>Though it can be argued, I guess, that if one is so far from reaching homeostasis, putting restrictions will allow the person to reach it more efficiently?</p>
<p>If all conversations between adults and adolecents could go like this, the world would be a better place.</p>
<p>Urbanflop, there’s no such thing as facebook hacking. What there is, however, is giving other people your password. Everyone always complains, “oh no, I’ve been hacked, my account is sending out links to phishing sites!” That’s not hacking. That’s taking advantage of people who are stupid enough to give random sites their facebook usernames and passwords. I’ve never been “hacked” in my two and a half years on facebook because I take care of my security. Anyway…</p>
<p>Hoping, I’m not sure. If every adult I ever talked to made so many veiled threats and treated me as if they felt the need to parent and discipline me, I’d probably kill myself. I’m perfectly content to live in a world where not every adult thinks their environment is or should be that of everyone else’s as well.</p>
<p>What I meant was that both parties have equal say. You aren’t sent to your room without supper or looked down on as impertinent for having a say or speaking your mind.</p>
<p>What I mean TomtheCat is when people go through and see everything you put on facebook. I am not saying this will happen to you, but you should know that everything you put on the internet is accesible to other people.</p>
<p>Congratulations on the 1000th post…</p>
<p>UF, you don’t have a FB. People can’t see everything you post unless you have your proflie on public. My profile is on the highest privacy setting and someone who isn’t my friend (and I don’t just friend anyone) can’t see zip.</p>
<p>I guess UF and I are fated to disagree on everything.</p>
<p>Just to let you all know many people - important people can see your fb without having to be your friend. Last year kids at my schools started teacher hate groups on fb and suprisingly enough they were suspended because the school has access to your walls, info, photos, etc. That’s why people don’t get hired for jobs because of the profanity they put on their fb wall, as I have seen on the news. So just because you may have the highest privacy you can create, nothing on the internet is ever completely private. 
With that in mind people use profanity all the time, and although I can tell them to cut it thousands of times, they won’t. But that doesn’t mean it was by any means okay for that girl to take advantage of that other girl’s Skype.</p>
<p>So improtant people get a pass onto everyones FB? I’m sure if they paid someone to hack it they may be able to but they can’t automatically see it unless your settings are low. At the case of the school, they were probably part of the school network.
Sorry, this is no longer on topic so I’ll drop it</p>
<p>Candidate, you must not have a facebook either. Groups are public as are the group members. I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT advocate such a ridiculous group. But those kids were stupid because groups are public to everyone as are the names of people in them. The one exception to this rule is when the group is set to secret. These groups don’t show up in searches and aren’t acknowledged on people’s profiles. But I’m guessing these teacher hate groups weren’t secret. How would enough people join them to make their creation “satisfying” to the idiots who put them up?</p>
<p>Thanks, urbanflop. It looks like you’ll hit 1,000 soon enough at the rate you’re going, too!</p>
<p>Actually I do have an fb, 
but seriously there is less security than you may realize</p>
<p>And yes I had thought that those kids had eventually set the groups to secret</p>
<p>I’d be curious to hear what you base your argument on that facebook’s privacy settings are ineffective. However, let’s just agree to disagree on this topic. I have never had any facebook privacy issues. Anyway, we’re off topic. And the topic is dead anyway</p>
