"You huffy puffy, loosey-goosey excuse for a whimpering whining wuss of a witness!"
- Prosecutor Franziska von Karma ~ Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations
This one's for those of you who have
"private" blogs and
"private" Tweets as well as
"private" Facebook walls.
I for one, detest such a practice. I myself have none of the above. Why? Simple. Because I don't NEED to have them. Let me begin by asking a very simple question I believe even retards can give a feasible answer to.
Why protect your Tweets, blogs or Facebook walls?
Many of you might answer that you want to keep certain information as private, and not leak them out on the internet. After all, cyberworld is somewhere you're most susceptible to getting your personal details stolen and stuff, right?
That's right. Only if you're the dumbest
IDIOT in the world to reveal everything about yourself.
The moment you step into the internet, you should be well aware that you're no longer comfortably sitting in your little room in front of a screen with the air conditioning turned on at full blast anymore. You're in a whole different world. People READ what you type in blogs and tweets. What happens if you make your profiles and stuff "private"? They can't see it! Simple resolution to all your problems, but the most cowardly of all.
My point is, what's the point in creating a blog or having a Facebook page or Twitter when
NOBODY can see them except who you deem to be
"your friends"? Are you
afraid of something? Have you posted something
offensive to others? Are you just plain
selective?
Sensitive, maybe?
I don't protect ANY of my social networking accounts. Why? As I've said before, I don't NEED to. What I type and post is for the world to see, and what they make of it is merely based on their own discretion. You misinterpret it, I'm sorry. It's not ME who has to spell everything out to you. Think one of my Tweets or blog posts is offensive to you? What's wrong? You "terasa" is it? Sincerest apologies, it's my own prerogative. You have no say in whatever I post. Do you have any evidence I'm referring to you? Unless you have any, you'd better not come fuck around with me.
Still not convinced? Answer me this:
What is a blog for?
Why do you Tweet?
Why do you have a Facebook profile?
Answers? Most probably:
To write posts and publish it for others in the cyberworld to read.
To summarize what may be a blog post into 160 characters and spill your emotions at the moment.
To catch up with old friends, make new friends and keep in touch.
Why the hell would you need to protect them? I can only think of 3 reasons:
Your posts/profiles are offensive/contain offensive material.
Your posts/profiles contain personal information.
You're a loner. You keep everything to yourself and YOURSELF only.
The problem isn't with the world "trying to steal your personal information" or "attack you with every post you publish". It's with you. Don't think that for one moment people who post stuff that actually doesn't refer to anyone is meant for you and get all flustered at that person. You're making yourself look like a total IDIOT.
Maybe if you open your eyes and understand the world a little better, you'll still have a chance
(if any) of ever being dubbed a
sane person. If you can't, kindly
remove yourself from the gene pool of this Earth's population for the benefit of mankind. Thank you.
