freewrite

i think it is very weird and unusual that people are constantly getting fired just because of what they put on their blogs, myspace, facebook, twitter, whatever it is. i understand that the freedom of speech doesn't apply to things published on the internet, but as americans with rights we should have the freedom to do, say or write what we want to, and not get any punishment because of it. there's a huge difference to me at least between talking crap about people and venting about people. i definitely don't think people would write what they have written if they knew someone was spying on them. if we can't even trust a person and feel the need to spy, what kind of world is this? it's really annoying that right now if i went home and posted a status about a teacher at my school, i could be suspended because of it. it's not fair at all. yes, facebook may not be the best place to broadcast venting feelings like that but at the same time i wouldn't think anyone would print out my facebook pages and bring them into mrs hanson or another teacher in the office at eastview. it's ridiculous that people are getting fired for having a profile that's "too sexy". who ever said you couldn't put what you wanted onto your OWN profile page. if office's and workplaces have a problem with it they should say something when hiring, or if its a new policy, they should let the employee's know. it's not fair to take away someone's job when they feel they did nothing wrong, simply because the office was not smart enough to tell their employee's. that falls on the office's head, not the employee's.
