Quote From: charise820OK fair enough sorry I took your post wrong.
I just don't understand if it had been a swim suit are you saying she shouldn't have posted it. I post pics online to share with family (none like that) (i do agree it was wrong of her to post a pic like that but I am also torn on this issue).
But I always just wonder how far people are going to go and were is that line. I know there is a public forum out there and that we choose it. But some times people are different online that they are in person. I wouldn't be the same in person as I am on line. On line I talk about a lot of things I don't talk about in person. (some marriage stuff, faith, and debating other stuff)
I understand keeping up with the times but I feel there is a line with judging people from something on line. I do I wish I could put my fingur on it but I can't. but you are right shouldn't have posted that pic, but at the same time I think a recall after her being mayor for three years is sad. because unless she is doing a bad job she should keep doing what she's doing.
I mean Look how crazy everyone got over clinton and monica thing. why do we care so much what happens in other peoples homes.
Her pic wasn't that bad. You are correct, where is the line? If someone reads your blog and finds out you feel a certain way on politics then they may not hire you b/c they don't agree with you. Also, they can check out your faith, etc if you post it. Then they know things before you are hired that they are not supposed to be able to ask. That is the slippery slope in all of this.
This conversation though is really about having what most of us consider to be inappropriate things on line about yourself. Once the boss knows it, it is going to impact you at work. And if the clients know about it, that isn't going to be good either.
It's almost like we have created a Big Brother that watches us. If we turn that camera in on ourselves we will be sorry for putting all of ourselves out into the world. I know none of us are perfect in every way, but in the work place you don't know all that personal stuff. I think it would be distracting for some people if they knew their co-worker was an online personality of some kind. In fact, if I worked with someone and they had drunken photos up on the net, I'd seriously raise an eyebrow anytime they ran late for work.
As for the swimsuit question...I don't know if it were a swimsuit pic if I would post that either as the Mayor. I guess as Mayor I would not want to promote my sexual image but rather my intellectual image. I think b/c she is attractive and successful that is going to be the cause of a witch hunt against her and that is the sad part. I just think she should not have put it up even if it were a swimsuit b/c that can only draw attention that she does not need. It wasn't a good thing for her above all else. I mean, my gosh, she is mayor, that is impressive.
Maybe her town will decide the pics were modest enough not to justify removing her from her office. I believe in second chances in most cases. So, I think now that it has drawn attention then take it down. On the other hand this small town could really make this work for them if they played it for publicity for a while. But that would be sending a mixed message about being a successful woman, I think.
Her pic was pretty modest and I may be second guessing if I'd vote for her a second time or not now. It would depend on her performance in office and also how big a disruption this was and the potential for it to repeat itself.
I am from Houston where one of the city council women is an "out of the closet transgendered person". I remember that being a big news story years ago. Now, if you hadn't been there when it hit the airwaves you wouldn't know the difference. "She" has been re-elected I don't know how many times, so her precinct must like "her". So, my point is maybe after all the buzz dies down the Mayor will keep her job and the people will be satisfied with her. I think it depends what kind of town it is. If they are a really conservative town they may push to remove her. I think you have to keep who you work for in mind when you put yourself in the public light.
Monica and Bill, haven't heard those names in so long. I was so tired of that story back then. I don't know who was more tired of it me or Hillary.
Girls dancing on bars half-naked, passed out on the beach, hugging the porcelain … these are photos posted for all to see on the Web site Facebook, in a group called Thirty Reasons a Girl Should Call it a Night. These shocking and provocative pictures are supposedly submitted by the women in the photos themselves. The women say they love to have fun, and this is a way to bond with other girls just like them. But are there unforeseen consequences to letting the public behold you at your worst? Dr. Phil speaks with women on both sides of this debate. Jasmine is the moderator for the group Thirty Reasons and says, although she’s responsible for taking down questionable photos, she hasn’t found one yet! Amanda and Norma are incensed that women would degrade themselves in this way. Hear from the president of a company who uses Web sites like Facebook and MySpace to weed out potential employees. Could documenting your good time on the Internet become your biggest regret? Then, a teen who loves to drink says criticism of Thirty Reasons just reinforces the double standard of gender inequality. What do Dr. Phil and the teen’s mother think? Plus, a mayor’s sexy photo has her town’s residents outraged. And, meet a substitute teacher who says he was unfairly fired from his job two times for what’s on his MySpace page. Share your thoughts here.
