Don't be stupid on social networks!!!
Just a little friendly advice I borrowed from Dr Frank Buck's post...
Public and Private Posts on Social Networks May Be Used Against You
We've seen plenty of incidents where people are caught by police for posting pictures or status updates of illegal activity. The lesson is that if you're doing something illegal you should not post about it in a public forum because the police may very well find it with just a little snooping.
More interesting is that even private posts are often made available in litigation. You won't find a hard and fast law on this, but in several civil cases people have been forced to hand over a Facebook password to show private pictures and status updates.
The general rule here? Don't post about doing anything illegal online publicly or privately. While it might seem like common sense with something like robbing a bank, a judge can order you to hand over Facebook passwords in a divorce, Twitter was forced to hand over Occupy Protestors tweets, and you might even lose a disability case due to a status update.

Facebook is NOT the Devil!! LOL
THIS POST WAS "STOLEN" FROM A BLOG BY OUR ASSOCIATE DEAN, DR JORDAN BARKLEY. IT IS QUITE HUMOROUS, AND TOTALLY TRUE! ENJOY!!
"I'm not really sure why some people are so afraid of Facebook. Since creating my account, I've heard lots of "reasons" why people shy away from it: A. Everything is public; B. It will wreck your marriage; C. You can lose your job; and my personal favorite D. It's the Devil's playground! Well, (here it comes...you know I wouldn't take the time to type a list like that if I weren't going to spend a few seconds making each one of the things sound idiotic!)
A. Of course, it's public; it's a social networking site. Don't put stuff on there that you wouldn't normally tell the general public. For example, I know I caught some flack about the sea shell pics from the beach. Hellur (Madea) I was on a beach in Gulf Shores..that's pretty public.
B. You can't blame Facebook for wrecking a marriage. People are married...not technology.
C. You can lose your job (well, some can) for how you act in public. So, to quote Ice Cube, "You better check yo' self before you wreck yo' self." If you act a fool, you're likely to do that anywhere...not just on Facebook.
D. If you go to my feed and see the majority of the posts, there are definitely more Christian updates, quotes, videos than those from Satan. He's sent me a friend request...um, I just ignored it!".
