If nothing else, its considered a way of finding out how good someone's judgement is. Its just a reality of our world. If you're going to be an exhibitionist and put the less savory aspects of your life on display for all to see, don't be surprised when it comes back to bite you on the ass.Rip Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06940272099753136707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-57100001183800583382008-04-29T17:56:00.000-07:002008-04-29T17:56:00.000-07:00I love Facebook and MySpace, they both make my hir...I love Facebook and MySpace, they both make my hiring decisions that much easier. <BR/><BR/>Yes, it's a little untoward, but I always Google potential employees as well as check out their networking sites.

We can never be adults always teachers now. <BR/><BR/>More and more young teachers have these sites and it is going to get worse. They ahve been really popular for about 5 years or so. Those kids are now getting out of college and, for some, moving into education. Their profiles are all public unless they change them...mark my words alot worse before better.Mr. Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282059797251178491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-33479204187312992292008-04-29T06:46:00.000-07:002008-04-29T06:46:00.000-07:00I'm not so sure.

You might want there to be a limit on the political views you can freely hold, but there is no grounding for that in constitutional law. Indeed, it would be a little strange for a bunch of revolutionaries to have intended to prevent people holding revolutionary ideas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-53474195656031901472008-04-28T19:28:00.000-07:002008-04-28T19:28:00.000-07:00True, but "for the children" or "to protect the ch...True, but "for the children" or "to protect the children" can be stretched mighty far.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-78278249420328011942008-04-28T18:59:00.000-07:002008-04-28T18:59:00.000-07:00The article really does a poor job in discussing t...The article really does a poor job in discussing the recent SCOTUS case -- as it involved speech in the workplace that was directly related to the functioning of the organization that harms the workplace's mission and function.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-54095069974354060182008-04-28T18:35:00.000-07:002008-04-28T18:35:00.000-07:00I've found that criticisms for off-duty behavior a...I've found that criticisms for off-duty behavior are stronger when the community is small and relatively homogeneous.

There are totalitarians on the far right (Pinochet) and anarchists on the far left (anarcho-syndicalists). However, these laws were obviously written with Soviet-style communism in mind, which, as you mentioned, does call for the destruction of the American way of life.Eric W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17266823523660676253noreply@blogger.com
