Re: The more I find out about Facebook, the closer I am to deleting my account
Being sparse with your Facebook information could give the impression that what is entered must be correct. But being abundant with what is entered & and including all sorts of wild things such as attending Schools in far-off places and hanging with royalty and saving small kittens from burning trees and donating your money to the expansion of teleportation, gives the impression that what is posted could OR could not be quite so accurate.

At 4:45 she admits that she doesn't know how "Peer file sharing" works. How can one be against something that she doesn't understand? Oh wait. Never mind.

lolcats will become an officially licensed product. **Any unauthorized usage will result in your website being hacked and lolcats emailed to everyone you ever knew.**
So the 17-year-old son of the lawyer for the defendant just happened to find the comment on Facebook... or was he searching for "dirt" to dig up on any of the juror's by searching their names on Facebook/Google. "Dirt" for, you know, a mistrial of some sort?
Im sure that by not having a mistrial, this outcome is somewhat better. But by fining the juror and having an essay written, is in my opinion, a bit over the top.
