    ...That is one of the most absurd things I've heard in a long time.

    Agreed.

    Not joining Facebook usually indicate that you dont got a burning need to tell everyone you know what you had for breakfast.

    Or maybe my private life is MY PRIVATE FUCKING LIFE! If I wanted to broadcast everything I do and think, I'd make TKO-RICHIO, THE ALL RICH ALL THE TIME RADIO STATION!

    I lol'd hard.

    Hate that employers think that they are entitled to know everything about your private life.

    Not joining Facebook might in fact be an indication that I have actual friends that I meet in the real, and not a buttload of people that like me on the internet?

    I can not agree strongly enough with Mabus, this is very messed up, professionals so far down the rabbit hole in clik land that they no longer seem able to make objective judgment calls

    And here's an interesting comment that got deleted from the article:
    So the correct title for the article should be: "Is not revealing your private life to us a sign that you're a psychopath?"

    That kind of shit pisses me off. They're basically admitting that they violate any sort of reasonable hiring practices imaginable.

    Fuck them. More states need to pass laws about companies forcing people to allow them access to their Facebook profiles.

    I have a facebook I never actually use.

    Therefore, instead of killing people in movie theaters, I am obligated to beat up old women on the street. o_O

    I'm not gonna lie, I have a Facebook account and log on at least once a day. I'm not a fanatic, though, and don't post all that often. It's a tool of convenience more than anything else.

    However, regarding people who don't buy into the hype regarding the latest social phenomenon as "suspicious" is absolute horse shit, bordering on some kind of weird mob rule. I agree with Minhotar's sentiments regarding employment, as well -- this is basically discriminatory hiring practice in all but name.

    Facebook needs to be purged from the Internet and its corporate headquarters burned to the ground.
