<p>"ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) – On a Facebook group that celebrates young women getting drunk, there’s no such thing as going too far.</p>
<p>One young woman dances on top of a bar. Another sits on the toilet drinking a beer. Several vomit. One appears with a bruised and bandaged face (“I just got drunk and fell out of a car,” she writes.). In another photo, two women urinate into a waterfall.</p>
<p>What you won’t find on this page – called “Thirty Reasons Girls Should Call it a Night” – is humiliation and embarrassment. For the most part, the women post the photos themselves, seemingly with pride. This makes many adults – teachers, counselors, parents – worry that students aren’t thinking through the consequences of showing themselves drunk to the world.</p>
<p>God only knows. Some people don’t think 10 minutes in advance, let alone a few years ahead (to what potential employers might find). I know so many kids who seem to think that if they only intend for their friends to see the pictures, then only their friends will see them, and anyone else looking at their Facebook account is obviously a “creeper!”</p>
<p>But as someone on this site once pointed out, you don’t have to post pictures yourself to end up with embarassing evidence on the web. Other people with camera phones can take pictures of you and post them. </p>
<p>I guess the moral of the story is behave yourself at all times.<br>
Camera phones + websites = Big Brother 24/7.</p>
<p>That is why I don’t post anything online. I don’t want anything to come back to bite me in the butt 10 years down the line. Better safe than sorry. </p>
<p>Plus, I’ve always found it better to socialize in reality. Something that seems to be quickly fading away.</p>
<p>A quote from my local newspaper (Crime Watch section):</p>
<p>"No MySpace anonymity</p>
<p>Nov. 22: A mother and daughter reported to police that a $1,000 digital camera was stolen from their car parked in the ***** block of ***th Place NE, while the daughter was at a movie. She had not locked the car doors. Since the theft, she has received messages on her MySpace account from someone who claims to have the camera, naming conditions for its return, using obscenities, and stating that he was rich now because of the camera. </p>
<p>His picture and a first name are published with his writings to her, and perhaps unbeknownst to him, his identity can easily be determined by police. Five pages of printouts of his MySpace messages were entered into evidence."</p>
<p>grr or fighting for a competitive job. Digging up some dirt on other perspective employees can help, may not be the most moral way to go about it, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do.</p>
<p>We are very lucky to live in a land where we can chose to keep things private. I do not want to look back in the future and regret posting on Facebook. I have always said that these appealing new technologies are not free, you do give up a whole chunk of your right to privacy. I would not feel comfortable having anyone so quickly be able to look up contact information of my friends and family, too much risk. It’s only a matter of time before we start hearing the Facebook horror stories as we did with myspace.</p>
