I Can Destroy Your Reputation and Career in Two Minutes

I think there is a reputation restoration company out there, sometimes it is advertised on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Heard it does a good job I hear.

I wonder If I could hit them with a DCMA type lawsuit! I didn’t give FREEPER madness permission to use the stuff that I write or even to post a link to it but JRobinson has the right to use it.

Social media is not evil any more than the gun in my night stand is evil. The person that intimidates, bears false witness, makes statements that are untrue is evil, that is the case and that is always the case. Social media is just the arena where these abuses take place.

I use social media for my business all the time, I have to, as my ads, my content reach the audience I need to reach and my competition uses it as well. This is just a case of bad people doing bad things and that is nothing new.

1. If a job candidate tells me he doesn't use social media and it turns out he does, then he's not getting hired — plain and simple.

That's fascist. First off asking some one about their social networking has to be illegal. It is unconstitutional.
Do you also ask them, If they own firearms, too

Are you sure you want to be here at FR.

[G Larry]

I’ve been warning for years NOT to use Facebook for a wide variety of reasons.

That list is growing.

People automatically assume my concern is about ID theft, when that’s NEVER been on the list of reasons I present.

Foreign elements use it to plant worms on your system, and you’ll never know they are there.

[sauropod]

This is a public forum. You gave up any rights when you posted. Sorry FRiend, but that’s the truth of it.

[A_perfect_lady]

I agree. Anyone who knows me in real life would recognize me if they read my posts here, which is why I try not to say anything I wouldn’t want to stand by in the future.

[Alberta's Child]

That's fascist. First off asking some one about their social networking has to be illegal. It is unconstitutional.

Baloney. I am a private employer and I will ask whatever questions I see fit to ask. We screen prospective employees about a whole range of things, and no candidate has a right to be employed by my company.

I don't ask them outright if they own firearms, but I am interested in presenting questions that could very well bring this bit of information out. A person who owns firearms is a highly valued employee, in my mind. If a candidate sits in an interview and tells me he goes hunting on weekends, he is far more likely to get hired than another candidate who does almost anything else on his own time.

Now I'll ask you: Which one of us belongs here at FR?

[Hacksaw]

I shut mine down when my liberal sisters kept posting utter lunacy that ended up on my page.

I have mine locked down pretty tight, but I need to do another sweep and clear.

[mdmathis6]

I gave up my rights to this forum...I didn’t sign on to the other “forum”.

(Now we’ll sit back and see if Ozzymandius is monitoring!)

[T-Bird45]

I’ve got people on my Facebook from both sides, conservative and liberal, so it seems to balance out on my page. I enjoy engaging the libs to keep them riled up. Both sides of the spectrum come from friends from high school 40 years ago. I don’t generally get overly political in my original content but it does come out in my responses.

[DManA]

I will ask whatever questions I see fit to ask.

Maybe in Canada. Not in the US. I wish it weren’t so but there is a whole range of questions you may not ask here. Of you defy our rulers the’ll put you out of business.

[dfwgator]

Heck you don’t even have to make comments.

Some “Friends” will notice if you don’t “Like” some pro-sodomy comment or link. I had one unfriend me because they noticed I never “Liked” any of their liberal propaganda that they posted.

[Focault's Pendulum]

. But I wouldn't recognize you if I ran into you on the street. LOL.

I think I tripped over you once on the street. The empty bottle of Thunderbird was a dead giveaway.

Snopes is an older hippie couple in their California trailer.

[headstamp 2]

To the left, this passes for intelligent debate/dissent for the opinions of your political adversaries.

[Mr Rogers]

A paralegal told me of a prospective client who came in, hobbling on crutches and complaining of having her back injured in a car wreck a couple of months earlier. They didn’t take her case.

Why? Well, her Facebook page showed her surfing in Hawaii the week prior to visiting the attorney...

[1rudeboy]

Does anyone use Snopes anymore?

Snopes is an excellent resource, and rarely incorrect. If people don't trust Snopes, they should go there first, and then do their own research with the information they gather there.

[wbill]

yup.

Why anyone would put their life on display for the public boggles my mind.
