I don't understand how they can check their profiles if they aren't "friends" with them on facebook...?

You think this is crazy, wait until the days when kids who grew up in the age of camera phones at every social event are running for public office. There'll be embarrassing pictures about everyone.

Yep, kids, learn a trade such as: Television Repair, Electric Fan Motor Repair, Electric Shaver Service, Vacuum Cleaner Maintenance, Watch Repair, and for the technology savvy, Transistor Radio Repair.

"Soon, there won't be anyone applying to college seeing that the funding is in the toilet.." Learn a trade, we already have too many people walking around with useless degrees expecting a high-flying job. If you love English literature, just get yourself a library card, no point spending 30 grand a year to listen to some old fart in a tweed jacket blabber on about Chaucer. A plumber or electrician's salary buys plenty of books too.

No worries, kids! Soon, there won't be anyone applying to college seeing that the funding is in the toilet.

That's why there's an option to make your profile, pictures, and video private and visible to friends only.
