Are you home schooled?

Sometimes I forget that this is the new big thing.

Probably not, as a grammatically and factually incorrect rant about Facebook invading people's lives managed to get a good grade last year. (Not my paper.) I am not homeschooled.

Facebook is actually a horrible thing from a privacy standpoint. 
Really from most standpoints.

Zuck: I don't know why.

"Professor Suspended After Joke About Killing Students on Facebook"
"I was just having a bad day, and I was venting to family and friends," says Gadsden, who says she didn't realize her comments could be read by the public after Facebook relaxed its privacy standards in December. "My friends and family knew I was being facetious. They knew I wasn't targeting anyone."

Infact, there's a blog dedicated to people who were fired because of something they had on Facebook
http://thefacebookfired.wordpress.com/

That's not to say someone couldn't write an awful paper about Facebook being awful, but I wouldn't write them off just because of the topic.  Because Facebook is awful and anyone drawing attention to that is fine by me.

^I think some of those issues aren't issues with facebook itself, but the horrible way employers seem to think they're entitled to see what's on your facebook page. I've ever heard some employers demanding interviewees give them their facebook passwords.

Though I agree there are some issues with facebook itself, just trying to draw a distinction between the two issues.

I'm currently in top position by a huge margin BUT I'm intentionally dropping down to the bottom.

He had no actual facts or statistics in his paper, actually. I edited it and it took forever to point out everything wrong with it.
