it really blows my mind. Ive learned more about some people on fb (strangers and not) than I would probably ever know otherwise. That unfortunately means Ive learned that some of my friends aren't the people I thought they were. A guy Ive known for like 20 years posted some racist t-bagger pic the other day and I was like... WTF? Hes a racist? Really? Another one had the gall to wish a happy Independence day "to the 49% of people not mooching from the government". I almost smashed my puter.

I think its especially crazy of people who have kids. They put their names, photos, likes, activities, schedules... Its like a road map for a kidnapper, ffs.

Then theres the people who tell the world about their medical issues. Doesnt anyone keep anything to themselves anymore?

Crazy.
