Several applications I've seen for jobs require you to have a social networking account (FB or otherwise) so that the boss can monitor your personal life.

How could the employer know if someone is telling the truth or just writing a story for their benefit? They certainly couldn't check. Which companies are doing a thing like that, and who would take a job knowing that their personal life is no longer private? Is it people who don't care what they have to do to make a lot of money?

I wonder what they look for on a Facebook page. Is it someone who doesn't post a lot of messages because they are too busy actually living their life? Or is it someone who has a lot of time on their hands so that are able to post a lot about silly, non-important things? Maybe it's just to check up on their friends? Is someone on their list a serial killer? Or work for the competition?

Aren't people (at least some people. and naturally most NTs) very peculiar? 8O :wink:

Facebook is perniciously deceptive in that it encourages people to fill in the data necessary for their own statistical profiling.

A idiot friend of mine made me a facebook account.
I logged into it and left some people into my face book account.
Then they started sending stupid things or asking me for animals and stuff for their farms and stupid things like that and I had to block them.

Its ok if you send me a email - as long as it is personal.
My computer operated on dial up for years before I figured out how to hack into other internet accounts and got high speed internet.

In the dial up days - it would take 15 minutes to download one picture. I would piss off a bunch of people when I gave them hell because they sent me stupid stuff and my computer crashed and I had to pay to have it repaired.

People are stupid - they think just because you are in their email list that it is ok for them to send mass emails to a bunch of people.

Some of them has naked pictures and stuff like that and I am not interested in seeing some fat woman naked walking in the walmart or other pictures that others thinks is cute.

I'm half afraid of even looking at my Facebook because of all the stupid stuff people puts in there - but none of it is directed towards me. There was two X girlfriends who tried to contact me via facebook - but I had to tell them to get lost.
We broke up for a reason, and they had not grown up any since we broke up and I didn't want to re live those events again.

That is why they are called X's - because when you are done you X them off your list.
