And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: New facebook format
Then it's internal.
I can see someone getting suspended from school/sports teams.
But, getting a ticket/violation/citation because of it. I doubt it.
That's basically saying that cops are going on facebook, checking out photos, finding who has been drinking, getting an address, going to someone's house, and handing out a ticket.
That just doesn't and can't happen."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Fifteen students at North Carolina State University face charges for violating the university's underage drinking policy because of photos that appeared on a Web site.Comment

Re: New facebook format
more cases, most with links. Anything dealing with underage drinking goes beyond housing rules and has to involve campus police, whose tickets are as real as a city or county cop's are.Comment

Re: New facebook format
My RA said we can't be written up for anything on facebook, he just recommended we don't do it because he'll know people he has to look out for.
I know in high school some people got in trouble with the school for myspace pictures.
Personally, I just think the people who put up 30 pictures of them holding a beer to prove that they drink are pretty stupid.Originally posted by Jay BilasComment

Re: New facebook format
That is one view. Another view is that facebook is a social community and people like sharing pictures with each other. Sure, some people put up pictures with beer just to be cool, but I think many, many more people put up those pictures just so their friends(probably the ones drinking with them) can enjoy them. Not everything on facebook is about gaining cool points.Comment

Re: New facebook format
I think putting up pictures of yourself drinking is just a cry for attention and acceptance, especially if you're underage.... and especially if it's your profile picture.
Any pictures I take, I try to hide any alcoholic beverage I'm holding, even red Dixie cups with soda in it. If someone tags me with one, I untag it. I just can't stand people that do that kinda stuff on purpose.Comment
