I completely agree with the article. Most of the problems with Facebook are our own faults and not the web site’s. I really believe that if you do not want anyone to see it then you shouldn’t post it. People should know that if they put it on Facebook or any other internet site it will never go away. With today’s technology people can get into just about anything and see anything on the internet. People should really take precautions if they don’t really know who their friends are too. I firmly believe that you shouldn’t friend people you don’t know. If you don’t know them then you don’t know what they will do.

Toni I fully agree with every thing that you said but you said that we have the technology so if we have all that stuff don't you think we could prevent things from staying on there after you put it on. People are stupid they think after they do something instead of before I know this because I do it a lot I don't think until i figure it out what happens then I think and I hate myself for it.

I believe that Facebook is not the problem it is mostly the people on Facebook messing up their own lives and that’s not any ones fault but their own. I agree that Facebook doesn’t MAKE you login or do any of that stuff. It doesn’t make you post thing that you shouldn’t so it’s not fair to say its Facebook’s fault. Facebook CANNOT ruin relationships but people can it’s not fair to the creators of Facebook or to any one else to say its Facebook’s fault. A person getting blamed for robbery because of Facebook isn’t right either they are the people that put their own information on Facebook or they agreed to be friends with them but it’s not right. Making people look stupid for thing that stupid people have done isn’t right and is not fair and should never be done.

My opinion on this issue is I agree with it. It is your own fault that you posted what you said. You have to realize that other people might think what you said wasn’t funny if you meant it to be funny. Make sure when you are about to post something on facebook that you know it wont. Hurt other people’s feelings.

Hannah, I completely agree with you. I think that it is the user's fault and not facebook's fault. Yes, if people thought before posting facebook would be a much better site that people wouldn't blame for their own stupidity. I don’t plan on facebook ruining anything about my life and if my life is ruined I will only blame myself, not facebook.

I agree with that what she said about the people are the ones to blain not face book I mean face book has its flaws like when you post something you cant take it off but i don't have face book so I would not know. But also if you don't want it there don't post it. Thats the problem with the U.S.A is all the drama people think they need to talk about like when people get mad at there ex husbands or wife or who ever because they found some one els better so because they are happy and they are sad so they make a big deal about it for the whole wide world to here. I love my country but some people really need to get a life and stop getting sad or mad or whatever and stay out of other people problems and get back to making this country what it really should be the land of the free not the land of drama.

I think that it is our fault because we should have the will power to stop using Facebook if we please. It is not an addicting drug, it is a website that lets you connect with friends and play games. That's all it is ! If you do not want your private information getting out, don't tell any one , or switch your privacy settings to exclude anyone except your friends. Some people say that facebook ruins their relationship. If you wouldn't say it in person, then don't post it at all. If someone is pressuring you, then just turn off chat or log out. So plain and simple don't do something that you wouldn't do in person. Would you post a cute picture? If you would, then take it to school and show everyone in school. That means the staff, the students, even the people you don't like. Then take that photo to Lewiston and show everyone. People on the streets, the people fishing, anybody you can find. Just show it to them and if you find it impossible to show it to those people, you shouldn't post it to Facebook. More than 2 billion people or more could witness your weakness of the moment.

I agree with the article about how facebook is not really an issue like some people claim. Sometimes people do stupid things and need something to blame it on and facebook gets to take the blame. Facebook does not force you to post or do anything you dont want to do it just gives you the ability to communicate with other people and share things. Facebook is a place to share things you wouldnt be afraid to share in public or that are appropriate to share in public. Facebook doesnt make you post personnal information and if you do and you get hurt or someone else gets hurt because of what got posted then it is your fault. In my opinion if you use facebook then you should use the privacy settings and you should know the people that you befriend.
Lexi
12/13/2012 08:33:49 am
DK, I agree with you with posting things that are appropriate. If you can’t say them to someone in person why would you say it on Facebook? I agree with setting your privacy settings to friends only. Also don’t accept or send a friend request unless you know the person.

I agree with you entirely Dylan that you shouldn’t befriend someone you don’t know. If you don’t know who they are then you could be setting yourself up for trouble. You wouldn’t know if they were in trouble with the law, if they would try sexual harassment, or any real dangerous stuff. So in a way by friending someone you don’t know you would be asking for a random stranger to surf through your Facebook photos.

I totally agree with the article! I mean it is not Facebook’s fault if you post your private information. Also with the Internet addiction, Facebook does not make you type in your email or your password. I have a Facebook and when I log on I do it because I want to and with my own free will. Those who post every 5 minutes I think don’t have a life; I mean they have Facebook on their phone. I mean I do to but I don’t post every 5 minutes either. Facebook does not ruin relationships that happen when the person posting something and forgetting that everyone can see it!

This is a really good subject for kids our age. I agree with the article a lot. I don’t really have any Facebook friends who post stuff like that, but I’ve heard of it. It’s definitely not Facebook’s fault, though. Some people say that they wish they could delete their Facebook because they are tired of reading people’s “Oh, woe is me” type statuses.

I totally agree with this article about Facebook. I don’t see how Facebook can ruin your life. You’re the one controlling it. No one else is logging in for you; you’re the one that decides to get on or not. I use Facebook all the time. I get on their probably about three times a day for five minutes and sometimes I just get on once for an hour.

Ally that was a great thought on how people fight and use bad language on posts where everyone can see them. Usually people don’t try to yell and fight where everyone where hear what they say especially relatives, who have Facebook and can look at your wall and see your posts or even just glance at the news feed.

I agree with the article, it’s not Facebook’s fault or any other social networking website’s fault. It is you and only your fault. Even if you leave your Facebook page open and someone else rights something embarrassing on you page that is your fault. You left the page open, not Facebook. It’s not like Facebook is forcing you to post statuses or post pictures that is all you. Facebook does not force you to even join Facebook or any other networking website. Getting addicted to the internet is not Facebook’s fault either, just like any other addiction like smoking or drinking, it’s not like there is someone forcing you to do those things. It is your decision whether to do things or not. I think that it is stupid that people can blame such things like Facebook or Twitter for all of your problems (and they probably post about Facebook ruining their lives on Facebook.) When you join Facebook, anyone anywhere can look you up and see what town you live in, what house, what school you go to, and where you work. You should have known all these things before you joined.

Aidan

Ireland, I completely agree with you. Facebook isn't to blame for our own mistakes and poor choices. You are right about how you should know about all of the things of facebook before you join it because if you don't know what you are getting into then a lot of bad things can happen.
Alex
12/14/2012 04:00:40 am
I think that people who use face book that post stuff that people don't want other people to know any thing are dumb because there the ones who couldn't get a life and be an actual human and enjoy what the world really is well that's there fault. they ruined there own life's and so they cant blame face book because they don't know how to keep there mouth shut. And nobody should tell any one that your leaving so some one can come and rob you!! personally i would just take face book down so people can just stop complaining.

I totally agree with the article. Just because you’re on Facebook all the time and don’t have time to go out and make a life doesn’t mean its Facebook’s fault. If you have to blame Facebook for your relationship problems then you need to take a step back and think when was the last time you did or said something nice to you girlfriend/boyfriend or your spouse. It’s not Facebook’s fault if someone knows everything about your life or all of your secrets its yours. If you write down everything about your life or any of your secrets on your profile page then of course someone is going to read it. You can’t blame Facebook for your internet addictions. Facebook doesn’t make you get on the internet every second of every day, you do. Before you try and blame Facebook for all your promblms you should think, is Facebook making me do this or am I.

I agree with this article, face book or other social networking sites by them self can’t ruin your life. What can though is what you say or post. I like what the article said about if you say that you are leaving town and your house is empty there is very high likely hood that you will be robbed. Also if you don’t want people seeing your page you can set the privacy setting, like what Mrs. Miller talked about earlier in the year. Then the Drunken Pirate assignment is a perfect example of how things from your past can come back to haunt you later in life. Basically don’t post anything that you will regret later in life.

The article that I just read, I agree with completely. How could it be the computer’s fault? As they said it didn’t make you log on, or post everything that you shouldn’t have posted. Facebook can be very fun, but be responsible. If you log on be aware that it can hurt you in the future if you post inappropriate stuff. We’ve watched lots of videos in Digtiools class that shows us how to be aware and responsible on Facebook. Facebook shouldn’t be the reason or blame for ending a relationship. You know exactly what you sent to the person when you sent it. I really don’t see how Facebook can be the blame of a robbery either, especially if there are witnesses. There is simply no excuse for that. So type safe, type smart, and be cautious of what you are doing. This is my thoughts and opinion on Facebook and the article we read.
Maddie

I agree completely with that article. I think that that was a really interesting article and I realized how true that it is. I think that it is all on us about what we do on Facebook, and if you don’t want people to know about it don’t post it! I think that everyone should stop blaming Facebook because it’s ourselves that get us into trouble from using Facebook. Once again I couldn’t agree more with that article. Facebook can’t ruin a relationship or cause someone to steal from your house because unless they were stalking you then they wouldn’t know what you were doing unless you updated your status, and it’s your choice if you ruin your relationship not Facebook’s. I think that if we all kept our private things to ourselves then we wouldn’t be having so many problems with Facebook. The only thing that I would worry about with Facebook is identity theft.
Cecilia

I agree with the article. Facebook isn’t to blame for things that happen to people. The people that put the information on Facebook are. Nobody should blame any internet sites that “ruined” their life when they are the reason that something personal got out. If you don’t want something out and open to everybody it shouldn’t be put on a website where everybody can read it. I always say that you should think at least 2 years ahead before you post. If you think about what will happen in the next week and then within the next few years it may change your mind, so always think of the consequences before you post anything. Also if you go out and talk to people in person, you don’t have the possibility of somebody miss-reading what you typed. It’s easier to explain things in person then using technology.

I agree with this article, facebook isn’t to blame the user is to blame. People should be careful when posting things on facebook and they should thoroughly think of all of the consequences that can happen when posting things on facebook. This just reminds me of the saying “guns don’t kill people; people kill people”. In this case, facebook is the gun and the facebook user is the person, and I think that the blame should be placed squarely on the user instead of facebook. When I post things on facebook it’s usually something about the Seahawks or other NFL news and stuff, and I always think before I post, message, or send/accept friend requests. If you ruin your life you shouldn’t blame it on anyone but yourself because you are responsible for your actions and nobody can make you do anything and it was your choice to get a facebook in the first place.

Facebook cannot make your life bad only you can. And we can get rid or stop using Facebook when we want. I’m not going to say that Facebook is not addicting because I am kind of addicted. I think you need to change all of your Facebook privacy to friends only it takes a long time to do it but if will be good in the long run. You must know the person because they can see all of your posts and pics. Don’t say stupid things on Facebook like “going to my cousin’s house in Oregon this week” that is how you get robed like what the article told me. Don’t post dumb pics. You never know who will see it. And that is what I think about this Facebook article. Comments are closed.
