POSTING WITH OUT THINKING

Everyday on the Internet people put postings on the fab world wide web. All people have the right to their opinion and to put it on line. But where do you draw the line. How many times have you watched the local news in your area and hear about people who do ridiculous things on my space, or post personal "crimes" on you tube to declare their victory to the world.

Today I was looking at my local paper and some kid got in trouble for writing two death threats to two classmates via my space. Not only do you put your freedom at risk for dumb actions, you give proof to all that you deserve what is thrown at you. Online threats are not taken lightly I might add. E-mail threats are federal offenses and punishable up to five years in prison. So before you conquer the Internet, think. After all what you do on the net lives on the net forever. "Net responsibly" a word from your friendly blogger, Tenisha D.
