Let's see, he claims to be a new member when he surely isn't. He claimed to be every foro member including myself. He adds people on FB without them knowing his real identity. He seems to know a lot about us regular members when he continues to state he is new.
And then he has the BALLS to tell us to be careful with identity theft and networking sites.

It's not him - it's me (or do I mean, as Princessa would say: It's not me, it's him) I just rub people the wrong way, I guess! Anyhow, all good 'cause I am one of those who doesn't take anything said in here personally. Besides what could he do, go to the pet store and shoot the first woodpecker he sees?

Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act = FIPPA
Like you - I would just much rather be on the "safer" side and not post much about myself online. Internet is cool and has a lot of pluses: we can do research, educate, and entertain ourself to no end. But there are those out there that are on the prowl and will try to use it in a manner to benefit themselves. I am one to keep myself as safe from those as possible.

It is what it is, like you said.
And I'll stick to what I said, as I quote myself: "It allows for those who are normally insecure about their lives to become a little more self-important." That doesn't mean EVERYBODY needs validation. If you knew the guy I was referring to, then YES, HE DOES NEED VALIDATION.
Girl you take things waaaay too personally.
Chillax, it's a long weekend.
I call it the Tyra Banks syndrome.

Holy.
Never seen that side before.
@Chale: I totally agree with you. Everyone has their preference and if you choose to not show a pic that's cool. Heck, I have friends on my list still with that question mark and I know they'll never put a pic but doesn't mean I'm going to be insinuating that people who post everything are hurting and are striving for self-validation. Some people are super carefree and don't care at all. I'm not saying that's a good idea either but I'm not going to insult people who do.
Again back to MM, I think the way I write makes it look like I'm taking it personal but I'm just defending geeks like my little brother.

Problems like this are becoming more apparent which is why we need to disect it or at least understand the psychology behind why it's important in this day and age.
So what happens when that kid who has trouble finding friends gets cyber bullied because of Facebook?
There is nothing wrong with networking, I'm all for it. But the point of this thread is to show the dangers of such websites.
Yeah, I brought all that nonsense onto myself but I sure as hell am not going to blame it on Facebook! My own actions got me into it.
If we're going to disect Facebook and discuss its "dangers", why not disect MySpace, or even 411.com?! Did you know you can search for people's phone numbers on that site? Or what about that other website, classmates.com???
Now we're discussing the "dangers" of Facebook when two seconds ago we were talking about people who post videos, pics and join numerous groups as if they "don't have a life".
Well, let's see.........Colombiana, maybe you should take down your pics because..........well, you have more than one up, secondly, I think you're kind of bragging that you have kids, so maybe you shouldn't post those up either, oh and the pictures with your friends? Like Chale and Sole? You should bring those down too. I wouldn't want anyone to think all those photos of you are your attempt at your very own 15 minutes of fame!!!
The same goes for you too Sole!!! No more pics of lil' man!!!!

I have no clue why Facebook is being disected like this. It is what it is.
okay if your only source of friendship is virtual, then that person has bigger problems.
As for why its being disected... why not? What else is there to do on a lazy Thursday afternoon. Why you so defensive girl? Who cares what any body posts up adn what they dont.
Im just saying.. I PERSONALLY wouldnt do that... I have my reasons as to why I dont... and thats that.
so anyways... Im fullo in my belly. I had mcdonalds for lunch.. and now I feel guilty

Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't like to pry in other's life but I'm a big lazy bum when it comes to that. If info comes my way... if it doesn't, the person would have to have been mighty important in my life for me to make an effort and "investigate". And, because spreading the gossip also requires some effort, it's gotta be "good stuff" for me to pass it on.

Where do YOU draw the line between the private and the public spheres of your life? As I have learned in the past few weeks, some pople know nothing about discretion.
I concur.
As a wise man once told me: "I dont need to know everytime que someone se tira un pedo"
Truely a wise and insightful man.
I dont post up anything that is personal to me or mine... I dont think that everyone needs to know every aspect of my life on the net. If youre close to me, you'll know whats going on through me, not through myspace, myface, pedoface.. whatever.
