okay, so I was watching dr. phil today which is a rare occasion now that i'm a stay at home mom with a 3 year old. Anyways, i was watching dr. phil, and they were talking about the photographs that pop up online on places like myspace and facebook that can damn a person's career, put someone else or you in prison, or even keep you from getting a job or job interview with a company because of the background checks that the companies do now days. okay so here's my question-- who out there knows what is on the internet about them. i mean you don't have to disclose or anything like that. but i'm just curious if you google your self to see what would come up. This girl was part of a pagent in washington and became ms. washington and these photos got leaked out on her drinking with some friends and she was wearing her crown. then there was another girl on there that was in a car with a boy who was driving drunk - two weeks later there was pictures of the guy wearing a jail bird outfit for halloween and he was in the middle of a criminal trial for drinking and driving. he was drinking and showing himself a good time and the lawyers were able to take these pictures that were up on facebook of him that halloween night and it put him away for 2 years. because he showed no remorse for his actions and her lawyers were able to prove it through those pictures. That's why i'm asking the question--- do you know who/what/why/when/where you have pictures on the internet. if you can't explain the photgraph as a well rounded person and thats who you are, don't be posting pictures of you drinking up online, you never know when they will come back to haunt you

I know there are little to no pictures of myself on facebook or myspace. I shut down my myspace a while ago, and most of my friends don't post many pictures due to privacy issues like the ones you talked about (although they WERE committing crimes and my friends don't, they still want to be careful). I think there are about five pictures of me on facebook, but they are pictures close friends have taken or I have taken myself. I have seen them all and don't mind them being online (although two are VERY unflattering!).
