These dumb photos are still making the rounds and are still causing controversy. A couple of months ago a clueless QU teacher posted some suggestive pictures of himself and QU colleagues at a private party. For some strange reason, he allowed his students access to these photos; some of the female teachers were wearing very s--y and revealing clothes. Some teachers posed very provocatively and some teachers were guzzling certain beverages. Some teachers were 'embracing' intimately. The pictures were culturally offensive and have given students a very bad impression of western expat teachers. I hate wasting classtime telling students that such teachers are the exception and not the rule. I am also fed up to find these pictures are still being circulated. One enterprizing student decided to caption each photo with a very condemnatory comment. Some comments heavily criticized the teachers and the university. Unfortunately, these pictures were sent to local newspapers and ended up as a hot and outraged discussion topic in local papers, mosques and the radio. The students also started sending them around the Gulf so some of us have even received the same email from other Gulf countries. I even had one student send them from Dubai. This negative reaction should be a warning to teachers under no circumstances should you give students access to your Facebook account. You may think its cool to be palsy with the students, but its not. They wont respect you if you breach cultural norms. Respect them and their culture and don't try to be buddies. It's the wrong way to go. Another unpleasant development from the talkshows and newspaper editorials is the dress-code squad now stationed at some malls, notably Villagio and City Center. Some women have been accosted and criticized heavily by squad members for being inappropriately dressed. I have heard of cases of women being asked to leave the malls. If people want to live here, they should respect the rules and dress code. Don't kid yourself, there is one, you can read about it on all the Qatar websites I posted.Last edited by wilberforce on Sun Jul 12, 2009 4:52 pm; edited 3 times in total Back to top wilberforceJoined: 27 Dec 2008Posts: 647 Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2009 3:48 pm Post subject: See how dangerous Facebook can be if there is a misunderstanding.

The photos have caused widespread outrage and angry parents everywhere; they have even had very negative reactions in other neighboring countries. As I said before, we should respect the people, their beliefs, their customs and their dress code. This is especially important for teachers as we are supposed to be role models. If you feel a need to dress down, don't take photos and don't post them on social networking sites. http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/Display_news.asp?section=Local_News&month=July2009&file=Local_News200907132288.xml Be careful with what you wear in Qatar, US tells citizens Web posted at: 7/13/2009 2:28:8 DOHA: The United States has advisedd its citizens living and visiting Qatar against wearing revealing and provocative clothes. It advised US citizens not to go about on public beaches in bath towels. The Mission also discouraged sleeveless shirts and blouses, halter tops and shorts. Western bathing attire must be worn only at hotel pools and private beaches, it said. US citizens must also avoid visiting labour or work camps, an updated and revised country specific information for Qatar posted on the embassy website said. The warden message that reminded US citizens that it was Islamic traditions that provide the foundation of Qatars customs, laws and practices said: Foreign visitors are expected to remain sensitive to Islamic beliefs and practices and not dress up in a revealing or provocative manner including wearing of sleeveless shirts and blouses, halter tops and shorts. Western bathing attire is to be worn only at hotel pools and private beaches. The embassy also cautioned US nationals about discussing religious issues, or answering questions about a religion. The warden message has strictly warned against conversion. Religion and religious practices are quite sensitive issues in Qatar. Therefore, discussing religious issues should be treated with care and sensitivity. Proselytizing is illegal in Qatar. Attempting to convert a member of one religion to another, sharing ones faith with someone of a different faith, and similar practices can be deemed violations of Qatari law, with deportation or even prison the consequence, the embassy warned. The embassy also issued strict guidelines to US citizens involved in charitable activities. Charitable activities, both religious and non-religious, must be approved in advance by Qatar Authority for Charitable Activities (QACA) http://qatar.usembassy.gov/Last edited by wilberforce on Fri Jul 17, 2009 7:41 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top wilberforceJoined: 27 Dec 2008Posts: 647 Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 2:07 pm Post subject: Results of facebook controversy Doha residents prefer to dress decently Web posted at: 7/9/2008 2:4:6 DOHA A majority of the residents The Peninsula spoke to yesterday agreed dressing modestly is appropriate as a Central Municipality Council (CMC) member has recently urged both long-staying residents and newcomers to shun the practice of wearing provocative clothes. "If such revealing clothes are normal in their country, this is not the situation in our country and they should be aware of that," Ibrahim Al Ibrahim, a CMC member representing Al Markhiyah has said. Arlene, an administrative assistant, said: "I always wear my office uniform, there's no reason why I can't follow the dress code in Qatar." "Perhaps those who wear revealing clothes believe they have something to show off to others, as the saying goes: 'If you have it, flaunt it'," Christine, who works as a saleslady in a perfumery said. But I don't think those people are in their right frame of mind, she added. Wearing a spaghetti-strapped top, a shopper in the City Centre, said: "It's summer and this outfit is in. It's not the clothes that people wear that matters, it's their attitude. People should act properly whatever they are wearing and they will have no problem." "Those scantily clad women are a temptation to men; they prompt men to think of evil things," Mark, a storekeeper said. "Since Qatar prohibits wearing such clothing, they should not put them on shelves for sale," Mike, a transport employee said. Some boutiques display mannequins dressed in very seductive outfits, that's why women are encouraged to buy them, he added. Concerned about the issue, Randy, a senior staff, said: "Since we are working here, we should follow the rules. If one doesn't want to abide with the country's traditions, then he should better go back to his country. "The problem is authorities seem lenient regarding this issue. Nobody checks, so people think it's just okay to wear those kinds of clothes," he added. "We see the nationals covering themselves in their traditional clothes, and there go some residents wearing those revealing outfits. They should dress decently to afford respect to the host country. If they are in the house having a party or other occasion, it is fine; but when out they should dress properly," Arnie, who teaches in a private school said. Al Ibrahim has urged authorities to play a significant role by handing out brochures in various languages in the airport's arrival area to promote awareness to newcomers on the country's proper dress code. He has also encouraged non-Arabic media to act in one accord in informing the public regarding the issue. http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/Display_news.asp?section=local_news&month=july2008&file=local_news20080709246.xml Back to top karachiJoined: 15 Jul 2009Posts: 11 Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:58 pm Post subject: Interesting Pics Teachers wearing "revealing clothes" and "posing intimately".

I defintely don't post anything on facebook that I wouldn't want my family to see. It's a safe rule I guess. The US military used to have dress and behaviorcodes for people stationed in this part of the world. If I remember properly: no shorts, no sleeveless T's no "offensive t-shirts" (can't remembr what they were.. probably of the heavy metal or four-letter word variety) and last (but not least). We were warned against public intoxication and loud behavior as well. (In Bahrain). Last but not least, they told us to USE COMMON SENSE! It's baffling (to say the least) that people who are teaching in a university setting would allow students access to their private lives so easily. It seems that in the world of TEFL few people have common sense. I guess once they're abroad they somehow think they're immune to the cultural norms here. I have FORMER students who are now my friends. Until they become FORMER students I'm on a professional relationship with them only. It just works better that way!

I have no idea what happened to the Facebook poster. He's the real culprit. He posted the picture without permission from the other teachers from what I've heard. They were boiling mad. It was some kind of costume party so they all dressed up in their streetwalker finery. The guy took the pictures and asked people to make lewd poses. Then he posted them on Facebook. A real numbskull. But firing? I don't agree. His co-teachers probably gave him a real hard time (which he deserved). But I really don't know what happened to him. He certainly was culturally out of it.

This was a private party - they don't go into work dressed like it. I hope the QU female teachers don't feel ashamed of their actions. This was private - the facebook poster is the one who should be named and shamed.The authorities should be clamping down on this website if anything. So what if they were having a drink?? It's allowed - it isn't Saudi. Up until recently you'd have seen plenty of Qataris openly drinking in the bars - notably the Ramada Sports Bar.

This means that these people dressed up like this in a public place not a good thing to do in a conservative country like Qatar. It's a a lot more conservative than the UAE or Bahrain. Gulagers also witnessed the photo shoot. The teachers very willingly posed for the pictures for a colleague who apparently bragged that he let his students access his Facebook account. Probably not all of the teachers who posed were aware of this. Even so, they posed for the photos in a public space, the poses were pretty raunchy. The pictures are the kind you see on the top shelf where they sell magazines in the US - i.e. adult magazines. Unfortunately for some teachers, some photos look like they were taken without the person even known he or she was being photographed. Those pictures aren't the ones that caused the uproar. It was the raunchy posed pictures. Anyway, the deed is done and let's hope the teacher has learned his lesson. He wasn't too 'Gulf smart' to have done this. Maybe he'll keep his camera at home at the next party.

LOL, that's so funny! I think you this should view this website, might clear things up for you : http://www.mcchris.com/
"My backpacks got jets! Well I'm Boba the Fett! I bounty hunt for Jabba Hutt to finance my Vette~!" I love that song! ^^
Huh? What? Oh, ARC, you are so confused. I haven't even seen Fett's Vette. And I don't make anything except for really bad filks.
I love Fett's Vette. Mc Chris did it though. His real name is Chris Ward and he sometimes works on cartoon network or at least he used to I don't know if he still does.
Fett's Vette by MC Chris | MP3 - Lyrics (explicit) - Music Video
Part of the MP3 collection of Fett-inspired music.
ARC Fett, where does it say Chrys made the track? Sorry you're still confused.
Miss Chrys and MC Chris are two different people, let's just leave it at that! Did you visit that link I posted? It tells you about him. BFFC Chrys is a girl, firstly....
that song is hillarious
I prefer the video over the actual audio, it's at least censored, safe for family life
I'm a bit living alone, and my comp hate videos anyway, so the audio's my preferance.
The video one bothers me: they used footage of JANGO from the Bounty Hunter game for a song about Boba.
They did? I'd forgotten that part. lol, now I'm glad I can't see it anymore, lol.
It's still entertaining to watch... I guess all you have to do is pretend the armor is green. But then there is that really weird part where he doesn't have his helmet on for a few seconds and it's some guy with red hair... O_O
the song was o k .......not my favorite but cool. funny in some parts.....but im not big into animation.......(music video)......fett's vette......whatever...

OUTDOORS: Hunters have responsibility to follow their shot
Recently my friend Terry Yardley got a nice deer while bow hunting. But the bigger story is the effort that it took to find and recover the deer. The blood trail had run out and Terry and Dick Cooper spent over four hours searching thoroughly and finally finding the deer.
Archery hunting is a different situation since the deer will bleed to death if hit properly. Hunters will wait for time for the animal to expire before following the trail to avoid chasing it further. A whitetail can cover a lot of ground in a few seconds.
Bowhunters are among the most serious of hunters and do a good job of recovering deer, although in many cases this is not an easy task. Typically they note the reaction of the deer when hit, the compass direction it ran off in and landmarks around the shooting area. Then they will use their tracking skills or other techniques to find the deer.
Unfortunately despite their efforts some deer are never recovered. The same is true with gun hunters. The sad fact is that some gun hunters do not make the same effort. One of the more gratifying results of this column is that several years ago I received a call from a hunter who thanked me for writing a column similar to this. He had shot at a deer that showed no signs of being hit and only because he had read the column did he persist in searching and finally recovering the deer.
As sportsmen we have the responsibility to make sure that "missed shot" is really a miss, and make every effort to recover a wounded deer. An ethical hunter will make full effort to find a wounded deer and dispatch it quickly and humanely and not waste a resource.
Follow up every shot, even an apparent "miss." Just because a deer doesn't drop or show any sign of being hit, you can't assume that your shot missed. Even a fatal shot may not show any sign. Many years ago I shot a nice buck at fairly close range. It turned and ran without showing any sign of being hit. I followed the trail without any sign of blood for over 100 yards and then finally saw some sign. The deer lay dead 20 yards ahead, shot through the heart.
Follow up every shot, even apparent misses or bloodless trails, for 200 yards. Check the direction the deer went, mark the spot where you last saw it, and carefully follow the trail looking for sign. Look for leaves turned up, tracks and, of course, signs of blood.
Carefully zig zag across the suspected route looking for signs of blood. Remember that this may not show for a long distance, depending on the type of wound. Look carefully to the sides and mark any spots of blood with pieces of orange flagging tape to later pick up sign or determine the direction of travel. Spots of blood may not appear on the ground, but rather on the leaves of brush or grass where the deer passed through.
Bright red blood indicates bleeding from arteries; darker blood indicates bleeding from veins. If blood looks frothy or has bubbles, it could indicate a lung hit. If the fluid is greenish, has tallow or clear fluids it can indicate an intestinal shot and the deer may travel a long way.
When the trail or sign runs out, keep going in the direction of travel. But a hunter or his companions should also keep circling in small areas on either side of the trail to see if the deer changed direction or doubled back. Keep a careful eye out for a wounded or dead deer in areas of heavy brush or grass.
John Jenneney, the founder of Deer Search Inc. has taught many licensed dog trackers to help hunters find wounded deer using specially trained dogs on leash. He also has another excellent book, "Dead On!," that gives lots of advice on tracking and recovering deer without the aid of a tracking dog.
Of course a more basic responsibility is to be sure of your ability and marksmanship. Don't take shots beyond range or your capability. It is the obligation of every responsible, ethical sportsman to make a clean kill. But there are variables and it does not always happen, so you have a responsibility to follow up and make every effort to recover your deer.
Short Casts
Additional DMPs available: The press release concerning additional Deer Management Permits (DMPs) arrived too late last week to be included in last Friday's column. Essentially there are additional DMPs available in a number of management units. The only ones in this area are 7F and 7H. Most are in Unit 8 in the Finger Lakes.
There is no additional fee for applying for these extra permits if you have previously paid the $10 application fee or have a lifetime license. You must apply in person at a licensing agent and permits will be issued until the quota has been reached.
Reel drag: By now only a few dedicated anglers are still fishing. Most of those involve Oneida Lake walleye fishermen or steelhead fishermen. The rest of the fishing fraternity have put away their tackle. But was it properly put away?
Rods should be carefully stored so they won't be damaged or take a "set" and unused monofilament should be stored in a cool, dark area away from sunlight. But the most important thing is to lighten the drag on your reels. Leaving the drag tight or with too much tension on it for long periods of time can ruin your drag, so put down this column and go down and release the drag on all your reels now!
Get in the rut!: If you are a deer hunter, this is the weekend you should definitely be out in the woods or field. The chasing stage of the rut should peak around this weekend. This is the time when bucks are most actively seeking does and are most likely to be seen in their travels. I have been talking to several people and they have reported seeing some very large bucks out in broad daylight following or seeking does.
Craig Dougherty of North Country Whitetails, a property management and deer research organization said that their scouting cameras showed buck activity peaking. Craig did caution that the bucks may not be where you have occasionally seen them while feeding. Remember that breeding, not feeding, is primary on their minds. Bucks at this time may be found some distance from their home range. But this is the time of your best odds of seeing a buck during daylight hours.
Many say that your best bet is to hunt ridges or funnels or other areas where there is a lot of deer travel routes and bucks will be searching for receptive does. In another week the deer will be primarily involved in breeding and may not travel as much or as randomly. At that time there will be very little activity around scrapes since bucks will be with does, rather than leaving their calling cards.
Venison Donation: Any hunter interested in donating a deer, please call 866-862-DEER or visit the Venison Donation Coalition's website (www.venisondaontion.org) to locate a processor near you. Remember, you must call ahead before dropping off any deer for donation.
You can also help by donating $1 or more. One dollar will feed four people. Financial donations are appreciated and tax deductible. For every dollar that is donated to the Venison Donation Coalition, $.90 is used towards processing the venison.
Financial donations can be made at your Town Clerk's office or anywhere hunting and fishing licenses are sold. Just inform the D.E.C.A.L.S. licensing agent that you wish to make a donation to support the Venison Donation Program. All donations through D.E.C.A.L.S. are deposited directly into the Venison Donation Fund. Donate today! One deer or one dollar goes a long way to help curb hunger throughout New York State.

Kramniodoj necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 58 design presentati da 15 designer.
A logo is needed in 2008 for the 125th anniversary celebration of the formation of the first professional hockey club in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Anniversaire Ottawa Hockey 125 Anniversary 1883-2008
A century and a quarter of hockey history.
Desired Color Scheme:
Red, white and black
Desired Style:
Similar to a badge or crest
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
This 125th anniversary will be celebrated by many groups within the Ottawa area: the city, local hockey clubs, fans and enthusiasts, visitors and tourists. Its application though, will not be limited to a parochial local audience, as it will be receiving global exposure with the World Juniors Hockey Championship that will be taking place in Ottawa in December, 2008, in part, to acknowledge the celebration. There were very few hockey clubs existing in the world in 1883!
The logo should contain the words and date 'Ottawa' 'Hockey' '2008' and may or may not contain the word 'Anniversary', though it would be nice to do so. If 'Anniversary' appears, the french word 'Anniversaire' should also appear in equal size as Ottawa is a bilingual city with two official languages, English and French.
If the words are used, it could be as 'Anniversary - Anniversaire' in a banner or in some other parallel structure e.g. 'Anniversaire' in a banner above with 'Anniversary' in a banner below. The years '1883' and '2008' could and perhaps should also appear.
The traditional colours for sports teams in Ottawa have been red, black and white, and would be preferred in this case.
The logo could have traits similar to a 'crest' or a 'badge' and it will appear on the website, collateral material, ball caps, T-shirts, hockey jerseys etc.
It should also bear the inherent look of old and new. For example, if two hockey sticks are shown crossed for example, one could have the look of a nineteenth century wooden stick and the other would have the sleek, metallic look of the new composite sticks. Or it could be two players facing off: one in a uniform from from the 1880s and one from 2008. There could be other juxtapositions as for example, the older player could be 'ghosted' or slightly grayed out. All of this might not be practical though, and I will that to you, the experts.
Speaking of which, as experts you may wish to advise me to eliminate some of the text, or years, or copy, and you could do so as part of your submission.
The web site, to be designed later, will have social media attributes, including a blog, podcasts, google ads, etc.
Ladies and gentlemen, good luck with your designs, and I look forward to your helping us celebrate the legacy of one of the oldest sporting traditions in North America!
Best regards,

* The Freedom Riders of 1961 took their lives in their hands to protest the injustice of segregation. This summer, Priests for Life and its supporters will stage Pro-life Freedom Rides along those various routes. This time we will be speaking up for the lives of the unborn.
* The Freedom Riders took their action to test a Supreme Court ruling that struck down segregation laws. We will ride to protest a ruling by that same court that legalized the murder of a whole class of human beings.
* The Freedom Riders sought to change the culture of racism in the U.S. We seek to transform the culture of death into the culture of life. Join us as we kick off this campaign with a press conference on April 27. Who:
Dr. Alveda King, Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for LifeJanet Morana, Executive Director of Priests for LifeDean Nelson, Executive Director of the Network of Politically Active ChristiansRev. Clennard Childress, Director of the Life Education and Resource NetworkRev. Sam Mosteller, Georgia State President, Southern Christian Leadership ConferenceCatherine Davis, Director of Minority Outreach, Georgia Right to LifeRev. Stephen Broden, Senior Pastor, Fair Park Bible Fellowship, Dallas, TexasDay Gardner, Founder, National Black Prolife UnionFr. Denis Wilde, Associate Director of Priests for LifeFr. Peter West, Associate Director of Priests for Life Fr. Scott William Daniels, Pastoral Associate of Priests for LifeJim Pinto, Pastoral Associate of Priests for LifeJerry Horn, Senior Advisor of Priests for Life Darrian Summerville, Christian recording artist
Kelly Ingram Park5th Avenue N. at 16th StreetBirmingham, AL When:
April 27, 10:30 am "My Uncle Martin had a dream that Protestants and Catholics and Gentiles and Jews would join together and sing the age old spiritual 'Free at Last,'" stated Dr. Alveda King. "At Priests for Life, we will be singing and praying on the Pro-life Freedom Rides. We urge all people of good will to join us as we link the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th Century to the heart cry for life in the 21st Century." "This gathering of pro-life and civil rights leaders is a unique partnership," said Father Frank Pavone. "By joining hearts and hands and voices in this way, we can help convince Americans once and for all that abortion is the ultimate violation of human rights." The rides have been endorsed by African-American and pro-life leaders across the country. Catherine Davis of Georgia Right to Life noted, "In 1857, the Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case, labeled blacks as property, denying them citizenship. The United States said no to this notion and restored personhood to blacks with the 14th Amendment. In 1973 the Supreme Court in the Roe v. Wade case again took personhood away from a class of people – the unborn. We are riding and calling on all Americans to again reject this notion by restoring the right to life to the unborn." The April 27 press conference will set the stage for the first Pro-life Freedom Ride, set for July 23-25. National and local pro-life leaders will gather in Birmingham for a major concert and rally - exact location and venue to be announced. A prayer vigil will take place outside an area abortion mill and then those traveling with the riders will get in the bus for the ride to Atlanta. Join us as we begin this historic undertaking. Millions of babies are counting on us to ride for their lives.

"When You Do Something, It Will Follow You"
Is the ability to erase your online past a good thing? Slate editors weigh in.
In celebration of Slate Plus' first anniversary, we're republishing a selection of pieces from the past year, including this article, which was originally published on May 20, 2014.
Recently, Eric Posner wrote for Slate arguing that the European court was correct in giving people the right to erase their online pasts. He argued that the "right to be forgotten" is exactly what the Internet needs. In this Slate Plus conversation, senior editor Allison Benedikt and Future Tense editor Torie Bosch weigh in on whether we should be able to erase our online pasts, or whether it should trail us forever.
Allison Benedikt: My position on this issue is that I would like to be able to erase my embarrassing past but see everyone else's. Torie, I just Googled you and, in the first page of results, came across the headline "Is Torie Bosch Really An Idiot?" Would you like that erased? Are you really an idiot?
Torie Bosch: I would love to erase that post and certain other elements of my digital footprint. (Thank god you have to dig deep into the Wayback Machine to find my Backstreet Boys fan fiction from the late '90s. I believe that the fact that I have written Backstreet Boys fan fiction answers your second question.)
But I'd like to erase a lot of things from my past that are analog. The divide between our IRL and Internet lives has blurred so much—why should we be able to manipulate the digital world if we can't alter the past?
Benedikt: Eric Posner's argument is that IRL (which, by the way, the Internet is, but I'll save that for another chat) there are some safeguards set up so that our past transgressions don't ruin us forever: Your credit can improve over time, criminal records can be wiped for minor crimes, medical records are supposed to be private.
I'm not against second chances (within reason), but it seems naive to say that the Internet should conform to the way things used to be. We all need to understand the reality of the world, which is that when you do something stupid or bad or noteworthy, it will follow you. I know this. I know that there are horrible things written about me on the Internet.
So if, say, I am one day in a position to hire someone and they too have horrible things written about them on the Internet, I bet I wouldn't ding them for it as a rule. In 2014, if you don't have some weird stuff out there online, that makes you more suspicious to me, actually.
Bosch: Totally agree with you on your IRL point—and that's why I think that it seems a little arbitrary to create this mechanism to delete a search result. To a certain extent, the problem of being haunted by your digital past is a temporary one, so long as your past escapades are relatively mundane. We will reach a point at which every presidential candidate has megabytes of drunken college photos online (unless in the future the college campus is replaced by some dry, online-only experience).
Which is not to say that there aren't legitimate reasons why we should create new privacy protections. A person's medical records shouldn't be widely accessible online, but that's different altogether. I think Jonathan Zittrain gets it right when he says in the New York Times that the European Court of Justice ruling "is both too broad and curiously narrow." The content's still there, the problem's still there.
Benedikt: There have always been and should forever be consequences to our actions. What else keeps us in line? But also: That's a good point about our future presidential candidates—and, really, future all of us. Right now we fret over our children's Internet footprints—how their dumb tweets today will ruin their tomorrows. But this is a totally overblown concern, because it assumes old farts like David Plotz will forever be making the hiring decisions. But David Plotz 2.0 will probably not bat an eye at some job applicants' somewhat questionable Instagram past, right? We all just keep evolving, or devolving, together.
Another danger advocates for the ruling don't address: In the words of our colleague Josh Keating, the right to be forgotten could "allow politicians and businesses to whitewash their records, removing embarrassing information from the peering eyes of journalists, NGOs, and ordinary citizens." And that's no good, right Torie?
Bosch: No good at all! I was chatting about this earlier today with Christine Rosen, a Future Tense fellow at New America and a senior editor at the New Atlantis. She made the good point that Snapchat's popularity—notwithstanding the FTC decision about how Snapchat doesn't exactly work as well as people think it does—shows that even those let-it-all-hang-out kids want to keep some things private.
Your kids aren't old enough for the "Internet will never forget" talk, right? Maybe by the time they are, the right-to-be-forgotten discussion will have moved in a more productive direction. But I think this is a false start.
Benedikt: My kids are not old enough yet, but still I threaten them all the time: Either be perfect or we're moving to Europe!
Bosch: OK, Allison Benedikt. You now know all about my shameful digital past. What would you erase from your Internet footprint if you could?
Benedikt: If you Google me, you will learn that I am a dog-hating, self-loathing Jew who doesn't care about my children's education and is married to an abusive husband. That's all fine. But I would really like to erase my wedding announcement, for I was once the kind of person who wanted that sucker published in the pages of the New York Times.
I know. I wouldn't hire me either.
