In Today's Eagle.
The legendary Art Linkletter from 1945 to 1970 hosted a TV and radio segment called "Kids Say the Darndest Things." Today, Linkletter might call those segments "Kids Post the Darndest Things."
Teens are using social media such as Facebook and YouTube to post pictures and videos of themselves performing lewd, illegal and embarrassing acts.
Today's young criminals post the darndest things.
The article didn't break any new information but what was interesting was the posts from readers.
"WOW! You can't hide from big brother.....I wonder if they use these techniques for civil and credit info...." - Posting on the Internet is not hiding. What part of WORLD WIDE WEB don't you understand.
I think a lot of this results from the fact that kids don't understand the realities of how Law Enforcement works. These kids are taught in government school that LE are their friends and not to be feared. So of course they don't hide their misdeeds as they should. And then they get busted and given a dose of the real world and what our current police state is all about. I bet these kids have a whole new understanding of our criminal justice system now. – Yeah it is about catching people doing criminal acts
| Don't cops have better things to do than troll Facebook and MySpace looking for pictures of underage kids drinking beer? This isn't really what I pay taxes for. |

So far the discussion hasn’t reached the limit of Goodwin’s Law “: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.“
