PLEASE ANSWER ! about schools & diciplinary action on facebook. need help !?
this is kind of a dramatic story but i need some insight. my friend "sarah" had been getting harassed by a girl named "kate" &when i say harassed i mean typical high school crap. snickering when she walks, by whispering when she passes them, ect. so the other day "sarah" got an i.s.s.(in school suspension) because she had enough of "kate" & her friends so "sarah" went up&asked why they were just whispering about her when she walked by. they totally denied it. even though they really did. &"sarah" was telling the she's had enough&accidentally let the f-bomb slip out. little did she know a teacher was behind her. the teacher asked why she was yelling at them. "sarah" told her the were making fun of her &again the girls denied it. so the teacher gave "sarah" an i.s.s. for cursing. that night in facebook "sarah" made a mean group about "kate" i saw this group in my news feed& wrote on "sarahs" walll. "did you make that page about 'kate' ?" she told me she did&told me that "kate" made her get an i.s.s. because she cursed at "kate". i thought she meant "kate" told on her. (btw "sarah" is one of my friends) so i said "WOW. what a ***** ! shes so pathetic. i can;t believe she tattled on you. what is she 5 ?!?!" & to which "sarah" replied "no there was a teacher behind me. she told the teacher she didnt do anything so i got in trouble" &i said "ooohhh. well its stall really pathetic that she didnt own up to it. why is there so much drama ? UGH" &went to bed for the night. the next day at school i was called down to the principals office. she told me that one of "kates" friends printed out&brought in me&"sarahs" convo. &she ended up calling my parents&writing me up. also she told me i am to have no communication with "kate" (even though ive never talked to her in my life !) face to face or on the internet AND i wasnt allowd to even TALK about "kate" at school or anywhere else. i find this TOTALLY out of line&unfair. not only was i on the computer. never saying ANYTHING to "kate" &what i said was never discussed in school or anything. she has no right what to tell me about what i an or cant say on my own time&when im at home. not even on school grounds.AND she told me i cant talk about her OUTSIDE of school. thats a violation of my freedom of speech! but back to the point. she had NO RIGHT to discipline me for things that had nothing to do with school (at least the part i participated in). its now on my permanant record marked as "inappropriate behavior" and could hurt my chances of getting into college in the future. so basically do oyu think its fair i was disciplined about something that happened on facebook&i did nothing wrong in school. (btw. i never threatened her or anything at all. im being punised for EXACTLY what was typed previously. nothing more.)

No. I would have my parents to talk to the principal and the superintendant. I would also have a lawyer to talk to the principle if push comes to shove. You do have freedom of speech, as long as you didn't do it in school you should be ok. I would have a conference with parents/lawyer if I were you. Mean while lay low and don't say anything to her.

What is the point in even chasing women anymore?
What is the point in even chasing women anymore?
Well, I had been chatting to a girl that was in my Spanish class in college over Facebook and sending texts between each other. Here's the story: We were good friends, like she was very quiet and shy in class but I was the only one besides her female friend who had any time for her, but I enjoyed her company. We used to walk home from college and talk and laugh about stuff, at that time she had a boyfriend so I thought, "OK, we will remain friends, no problem." But over the Internet and the phone, we chatted deep about things, so I thought that we must have had a good rapport because some of the things she was telling me were very sensitive issues. I told her how beautiful she is and so we planned to go out together on the Saturday night two days ago. I suggested why not a restaurat; she suggested going out together for a drink, well, fair enough. After getting ready and knocking at her house, she opened the door, and she was just absolutely stunning! I was surprised by how much effort she put into her appearance, you know, going out as friends and all. So, we talked and laughed, she knew anyway that I fancied her. The night well was going really well. I grabbed a bite to eat first because I had no dinner, and then we hit the bars in town; we bought each other drinks, so I knew that we were going out as friends. Throughout the night, she was talking to me about how much of an ar*sehole her ex-boyfriend was, and she wanted to cut all contact with him, so I reassured her that she was too good for him. However, I then stated, "You know all you women, you come moaning to people about the bad guys in your life, whether it be your boyfriend, your ex, your dad etc, so why don't you lot ever try a honest, straightforward guy for once. Look, I'm no angel, but with me, you know where you stand." From then, we still had fun together throughout the night, but she was letting me hold her and we were close together, almost like the chemistry was building between us. Then, she was getting quite drunk whilst I was still relatively sober, she didn't even know where she was for God's sake!!!!! Because she was drunk, I became very weary of other guys trying to take advantage and use her just for sex. One guy drunk and high on cocaine then started grabbing her. She didn't really respond, but didn't tell him to get away either. I went in between them as if I was waiting at the bar, and got punched in the face!!! So, we left. Here's where it really hurts deep. We walked to the police officers on patrol in the street, and she was saying to me that it wasn't my place to protect her and under the supervision of the officers, scuttled off and got a taxi home without asking if I wanted a lift home. Because the police are horrible bastar**ds, they just let her go and told me to go home. I had no money left for a taxi, so I had to walk 8 miles back home!!! Feeling angry, I knocked at her house, at about 4:30am, and discussed with her mother about the night out; she was just drunk and asleep. Her mum and dad came across as decent, law-abiding citizens, so I had a lot of respect for them. Even her mum said us two going out as friends was a bad idea, so she didn't even have a biased view of the situation. The next day, she had deleted her Facebook profile, and hadn't even said sorry! I know that if I knocked at her house to try to discuss things between the two of us, I would probably get harrassment charges put against me. Basically, she's just being a coward and protected. Even my mum and her boyfriend haven't given me much consolidation, they're just pointing out at my faults! I'm only 19, never had a proper girlfriend before, have Asperger's Syndrome, so social situations are extremely difficult for me anyway, and she was the only girl with who I felt that I could be my nerdy, cheeky self around. I'm so fuckin'8 depressed.

Why don't you try to see her again because you still have the chance to see her. I don't think she would press harassment charges on you because you are good person and I hope she knows that.

Does this answer those nagging questions about healthcare reform?
Does this answer those nagging questions about healthcare reform?
Your Questions About Health Care Reform Answered posted by Christopher Hayes on 08/11/2009 @ 09:58am * Email * Print * Share o Buzz up! o Buzzflash o del.icio.us o Digg o Facebook o Add to Mixx!Mixx it! o Reddit What is this? * Take Action * Comments (88) * * Subscribe Now Text Size * A * A * A Ok, so there's been a lot of misinformation about proposals to reform the health insurance industry and provide (near) universal coverage. Understandable! It's complicated stuff. Herewith, I'll try to answer some questions 1) Is it true that all of the bills currently proposed would end the practice of "rescission," whereby health insurance providers refuse to treat customers who've paid their premiums simply because they've become ill? No! That's a common misunderstanding. Actually, all of the bills would ban incisions, that is, they would legally bar surgeons from performing surgery until a panel of twelve gay illegal immigrant government bureaucrats unanimously signed off on the procedure. 2) Is it true that health care reform would ban insurers from refusing to insure people because of pre-existing conditions? Wrong again. To get rid of health inequality, the bills actually mandate that every American be given a pre-existing condition. A National Illness Commission, with academics appointed from Harvard, Reed College and Berkeley, will evaluate each citizen, and based on their demographic profile, choose their malady. Each disease or syndrome is scored on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most severe. White christian men will receive pre-existing conditions of 8 or higher. Black people, "wise latinas," and ACORN members will be exempted. 3) I heard the proposals currently under consideration provide seniors with option of free counseling sessions under Medicare, where they can discuss a living will and end-of-life care. That's a huge misconception. The bills require all senior citizens (who are non union members) be euthanized on their 70th birthday. Under section 278(c)ii all last rites will be performed by Jeremiah Wright using a Q'uran. 4) I've heard the bills being proposed would require insurers to provide preventative care, like mammograms, free of charge. No, but all lactating mothers will be forced to breast-feed poor children. 5) Will the current bills plug the "donut hole" in the Medicare prescription drug benefit so seniors don't have to pay exorbitant out of pocket expenses for their medication? Absolutely not. The legislation will ban donuts. texaslibsticker: The jokes on you and the rest of the right-wing loons. :P correction: jokes=joke's

Childhood friendship confusion!?
Childhood friendship confusion!?
I've known this guy since I was 3 and we lived down the same road and went to the sane school, but I moved when I was 5 and his mom and my mom stayed in touch. Me and him have always been in touch (msn, fb etc) and last may we had a sort of thing and it ended when he got with someone else and it really hurt and I haven't quite forgiven him. But anyway this time we met up at a gig and we spent the whole night together, and it was lovely, when we left we hugged and did that turny round thing like they do in the movies. But anyway the day after his best friend added me on facebook, he wasn't even there on the night and I've never spoken to him before, hence why I'm confused about this. Then 10 minutes later the guy I like came up on my wall on facebook saying 'it was so good seeing you last night, see you at the next gig xx' and the day after that posted a status about how great the gig was and how he had (not my words, his) 'rocked with my cock out' with me. And we were just talking on his status about how we enjoyed the gig and then he said, blink 182 are touring next year, tickets on sale next week! And we discussed it and idk whether he was just saying it or was trying to ask me, but the next gig (30stm) is in 2 weeks and I want to know what I should do about it, any suggestions would be lovely, thanks xx

I've known this guy since I was 3 and we lived down the same road and went to the sane school, but I moved when I was 5 and his mom and my mom stayed in touch.

Can criticizing the boss on Facebook get you fired?
Can criticizing the boss on Facebook get you fired?
Information may want to be free, as the old Internet adage goes--but how far does such freedom extend when it comes to criticizing your boss on social media platforms? That's the question that the National Labor Relations Board is putting before an administrative law court. NLRB lawyers are contending that a Connecticut-based ambulance service illegally fired an emergency medical technician after she criticized her supervisor on Facebook, the New York Times reports. The case could have broad implications for workers' speech rights as applied to social media. [Related: Six things you should never reveal on Facebook] According to the complaint, Dawnmarie Souza was fired after using vulgarities to ridicule her supervisor in a Facebook post. Souza also wrote, using the company's terminology for a psychiatric patient: "Love how the company allows a 17 to become a supervisor." Souza and the supervisor had clashed after the supervisor would not let a union representative help her to prepare a response to a customer's complaint about her work. The company, American Medical Response, says it has a policy that bars employees from depicting the company on Facebook and other social media sites on which they post pictures of themselves. The NLRB argues that the rule is overly broad--and that the firing of Souza violates the National Labor Relations Act, which, among other things, prohibits employers from punishing workers for discussing working conditions or unionization. The complaint notes that the comments triggered supportive responses from Souza's co-workers, as well as additional negative comments about the supervisor. "This is a fairly straightforward case under the National Labor Relations Act," a lawyer for the NLRB told the Times. "Whether it takes place on Facebook or at the water cooler, it was employees talking jointly about working conditions, in this case about their supervisor, and they have a right to do that." But American Medical Response said the firing was proper. "The employee in question was discharged based on multiple, serious complaints about her behavior," the company said in a statement. "The employee was also held accountable for negative personal attacks against a co-worker posted publicly on Facebook. The company believes that the offensive statements made against the co-workers were not concerted activity protected under federal law." An administrative law judge will begin hearing the case Jan. 25.

one colleague of mine who worked for a large retail company complained about them on facebook he was on a management development programe and was take off it for his comments on facebook and we have since been told that the company do employ colleagues to scower sites such as facebook for key words such as company names ect and that any such status' envolving the company name will go to disaplinery and could leed to dismissal. No exactly freedom of speach no is it?!

In the UK teachers in schools can be asked to resign in certain circumstances for posting on Facebook et al. Also large companies insist that employees sign an agreement not to publish anything on the net which might be harmful (broad definition) to the company.

I don't know if you're asking this as a poll or simply to know how we think of the topic. Anyway, I think you can be sued anywhere on the Web, be it Facebook or not, if you do these things: 1. Libel 2. Copyright Infringement 3. Privacy Violations 4. Harassment 5. Breach of Contract It seems that the case falls under item No.1 so I guess, there is a chance that the boss will win the case. This is my opinion though. I think, people forget proper netiquette these days like the 2nd source below.

Honestly, I think she should get fired. I think one of the biggest misconceptions about facebook is that it is private. In no way is facebook anyway similar to a water cooler. Did you know that almost everyone on facebook is connected with one another in less than 7 degrees of separation? That is what makes websites like facebook so valuable to companies for marketing. They can post something on facebook and it could spread like wild fire across the web for little or no money. The same thing can happen to an individuals wall posts in theory. Facebook should not be thought of as a private profile that only your friends can see. Sure it is a great way to keep track of your personal friends but in many ways it is not private. In all reality it is a public blog of sorts. Would it have been worse if she went out on a public news blog and made those statement? Employees need to be aware of the impact they can have for the companies they work for by making negative statements and I truly believe that if you are a business owner you should train your employees how to act when talking about there employer so you don't cause a PR nightmare like this one.
