- Eldorian, on 07/17/2009, -1/+147"Also, a lot of corporations are requiring Facebook and Myspace passwords so they can do background checks before you get hired."
I'll happily work elsewhere. - anexanhume, on 07/17/2009, -2/+84Why does the guy speaking looking like a rotund George Bush?
- FritoPendejo, on 07/17/2009, -2/+78Name a single one that is asking for your password.
- thedaytripper, on 07/17/2009, -2/+45"None of you"
Nice generalization there - bornfreeid, on 07/17/2009, -7/+48bingo!
- sakurai9, on 07/17/2009, -1/+40Now, that's the concept of Twitter.
- ducttape36, on 07/17/2009, -3/+40TOO LATE?!?!?!?! HOW WILL I EVER GET MY GOD JOB NOW?!!?!?!
- aoe2bug, on 07/17/2009, -3/+36"none of you teens and 20-something realize..."
Generalize much? There is not correlation between age and stupidity. - anexanhume, on 07/17/2009, -0/+30Holy crap, English fail on my part.
- inactive, on 07/17/2009, -1/+29You don't need twitter just goto the store and listen to all the people with cellphones screwed into their heads. One woman was talking about her 17 year old son who was kicked out of school for having sex with a girl in the locker room and getting caught, on top of that he gave her a std and on and on. Best thing was the idiot was pushing mom's cart around the store behind her as she tells her friend on the phone and the whole store.
- mogebier, on 07/17/2009, -35/+59It's funny because it's true.
None of you teens and 20-something realize that the Internet is PERMANENT. There are caching sites all over. ANYTHING YOU POST ANYWHERE IS COPIED SOMEWHERE.
Also, a lot of corporations are requiring Facebook and Myspace passwords so they can do background checks before you get hired. So remember not to do or say anything stupid if you want a god job.
Oops, too late :) - inactive, on 07/17/2009, -1/+22exactly. I'm in my 40's, and there's all kinds of stupid ***** about me all over the internet.
- tmacfan123, on 07/17/2009, -9/+30***** TWITTER
- skyer, on 07/17/2009, -2/+22Retards spying on retards?
- m1k3y45, on 07/17/2009, -2/+21To quote xkcd: *****.That.*****.
http://xkcd.com/137/ - 4degrees, on 07/17/2009, -0/+16or just listen to the douche bags having a nextel conversation in your favorite restaurant.
- t0x2c, on 07/17/2009, -0/+16I for one would rather sit behind my computer screen than sit in a trenchcoat on the high school bleachers where the coach keeps a constant eye on me.
- JFallon126, on 07/17/2009, -1/+16Yes ty!. Us yungins r so klewless...wid out u we wuld hav no idea how teh intertubes work!!!!!!!11

And if my employer asked me "Do you have Facebook?" The answer would be "Nope". All it takes is one click in preferences and no one, especially my employer, can find my profile even through Google. And if I was super paranoid I can just delete my account. If he's the kind of person who is going to hack the Facebook cache servers to find my info then I highly doubt I would last long at that job or want to work with him anyway. And he's also insane. - Hetman, on 07/17/2009, -0/+15Most people are fully aware they just do not care. If you had the time you could probably peice together almost my entire life just by going through my digg comments.
- inactive, on 07/17/2009, -4/+17because political cartoonists are unfunny, one-trick ponies
edit: see http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/4/1/ - KrazyMon2, on 07/17/2009, -2/+15One of the reasons why I don't use Twitter. Something about it kinda creeps me out.
- wikiworld, on 07/18/2009, -1/+13"What's privacy, Daddy?" "Well, son, when I was a child..."
- jynweythek, on 07/17/2009, -0/+12no corporation has done that (as far as I know) but recently there was a story about handing in your social networking usernames/passwords if you wanted to work for the city of Bozeman, MT
- 4degrees, on 07/17/2009, -2/+14here is my facebook password "*****" can i have a job now?
- Homerr, on 07/17/2009, -2/+13Passwords!?! You do mean profile names or logins, don't you?
I'd pass if they asked for that from me in any case. - SauerNinja, on 07/18/2009, -0/+10@algaeturd - For you: http://xkcd.com/610/
- inactive, on 07/17/2009, -0/+9By similar logic we don't need porn sites either.
- MacEnvy, on 07/17/2009, -0/+8Won't someone think of the trenchcoat industry?
- DarkShroud, on 07/17/2009, -0/+8Even better if she wasn't even talking to anyone.
- MacEnvy, on 07/17/2009, -0/+7I've thought about that before, and it's frightening. Add in my Fark comments, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc, and I'm in big trouble.
- Foxprowl, on 07/17/2009, -0/+6If our anti-terrorist methodology centers around twitter...I can't even finish that statement with a joke because it's probably true.
- smartnerd666, on 07/17/2009, -5/+11"Only morons use Twitter" You could've stopped there
- algaeturd, on 07/17/2009, -0/+6That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
"We don't need a hand blender, we have this big, fluffy Australian Sheep Dog." - GangsterCompute, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5I suppose it all started when we assumed that they were wire-tapping us anyways, it shouldn't just be the gov't who get to have all the fun.
- nepidae, on 07/17/2009, -1/+6So whats the magic age that guarantees full understanding of the internet for everyone in that age group?
- richmomz, on 07/17/2009, -1/+6There's probably a grain of truth here - Twitter always seems to be in the middle of these populist protests and uprisings happening overseas (first in Moldova and more recently in Iran)and they publically worked with the Defense Department to 'aid' the protests in Iran. It's also interesting that the corporate mainstream media seems to be so in love with Twitter while ignoring all the other "social media" sites out there. Kind of makes you wonder...
- badgerfight, on 07/17/2009, -0/+4i'm curious to see the next generation of politicians where all of this facebook information is readily available. standards for scandals will have to drop
- nepidae, on 07/17/2009, -1/+5this suit is blacknot
- nepidae, on 07/17/2009, -0/+4Probably more true that I would like to admit.
- BIOHazard87, on 07/18/2009, -0/+4Contains word Fail = BONUS +10 DIGGS!!!
- novenator, on 07/17/2009, -1/+5I once posted an aerial collage of increasingly closer aerials of my house (from hemispherical to neighborhood) on a site. Then I realized that might not be such a good idea.
- algaeturd, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3If it's dead, it's at the hand of the very people who bitch about not having it anymore.
- IloveModeo, on 07/17/2009, -6/+9Shut up.
- pagno, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3MySpace: Would you like to take a survey?
- u235sentinel, on 07/17/2009, -2/+5I think you're confusing them with the RIAA/MPAA
- bicycleman, on 07/18/2009, -3/+6Only losers and loser celebrities that have meaningless lives use Twitter.
Give it 6 months and you'll see it hit the crap pot.
[Click to Flush] - lilmentor3, on 07/17/2009, -0/+3if anyone cares to actually read a book, i rec. What Everyone Should Know About State Repression (1979). the author basically argues that no amount of spying can stop a massive movement.
- kaosethema, on 07/17/2009, -0/+2@Presbyterian
definitely a twatter - yaosio, on 07/17/2009, -3/+5And yet you made this post, fascinating.
