Rant

So I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Mostly about random stuff, up to and including what my stomach wants for lunch today -- though that has nothing to do with this blog-post.

Its about the internet. See the internet is this big world-wide network that brings people from all over the world together. We can talk on online chatrooms, social networking sites and generally we get along really well.

Then some idiot goes and posts something stupid on the internet. They get in trouble, because these rants are about their friends, their families, their true thoughts and feelings. None of it really matters -- it may be what they think at the time, but its published on the internet forever. If someone they know sees it -- well, too bad. Right?

That's why with any blog you have to be careful what you say and do. Its always going to be there, unless the post is deleted. Its the same with sharing political views to a wide group of friends. Suddenly they are not looking so friendly anymore and that's just not right. Nor friendly, so why exert them on other people?

Normally issues like these are shared online because we can retain some sort of invisibility. The smart people do. I like everyone else have a facebook page. I rant and rave on there just like everyone else, but I don't share what I'm doing every day. What if my boss, my employees or my friends saw that? Then I'd be in real trouble. At least in the good old days when you wrote in a journal in pen and paper the only danger was your little brother or sister finding what you've written. Now a whole range of creepy people can.

I guess my message is in a roundabout way is to be careful. You never know what's just around the corner.
