Linked In Or Out?
Mr_Whoopass writes "I am the IT Administrator for a regional restaurant chain, and as of late I am noticing more and more people sending me invitations to sites like LinkedIn, FaceBook, etc. Mother always taught me to be a skeptic, and, knowing more than the average Joe about how information can be used in this digital era, I am reticent to say the least about posting such personal details as my full name and where I work on the net for all to see. I have thus far managed to stay completely below the radar, and a search on Google has nothing on my real persona. However, now times are tough, and I see sales dropping in the industry I work in as it is a discretionary spending market to be sure. I wonder if I should loosen up on the paranoia a bit and start networking with some of these folks in case of the all too common layoff scenario that seems to be happening lately. What do other folks here think about this? I am specifically interested in what people who work in IT think (since I know that just about every moron who has 'Vice President' or sits on the 'Executive Team' is already on LinkedIn and has no clue about why they should be trying to protect their identity)."
This guy once told me he made up his own rap song:
Muthufsck Dre, Muthufsck Snoop, Muthufsck Death Row
Foo, for you comes my left blow.
I'm going to modify that a little bit:
Muthufsck Linked, Muthufsck Face, Muthufsck MySpace
Foo, for you comes my left blow.
Actually that second line doesn't rhyme very good. I need some help with that.

There are cures for being fat, smelly, and constipated. I see you have found none of them yet. Don't give up. Someday you might become Carrot Top.
So even the Nazis have a right to free speech, to spread FUD and build a political base amongst the people, especially in these times of economic downturn, with those filthy muslims taking our jobs ... after all, their whole religion promotes hatred of us. And we should be free to do to them what they do to us ... If they hate us, we should be free to hate them. It's only fair.
... really.
This has never happened before
This is the most backwards comment I've ever read. How is affirmative action not blurring "work and not work", as you put it? Unless you believe that somebody's ability to work is actually tied to their race.
I'd hate to see where you work: a racially diverse team where people barely tolerate each other and nobody was hired based on their credentials. Now there's a recipe for success.
Seems like someone got modded into oblivion just recently and has a chip on his shoulder.
AND, I'll probably get +5 insightful for it, because it is !
