Facebook and Twitter : Right or Wrong

Human evolution:
Human race began to evolve.
1. War and the cruelty of the war came to light.
2. The absurdity associated with royalty and blood lineage was acknowledged.
3. Religion, Caste, and other factors that divided humans based on their birth was not to be tolerated.
4. Human race that differed in color, looks, and culture had nothing to do with their chromosome count and was proven scientifically.
5. Hard work and creativity and imagination were given importance.
6. Everyone and every living being has the same rights under the sun and had rights to share the wealth on earth.
7. Nature could not be exploited and compromised for only one species , so exploration had to expand beyond Earth and Sun.
8. Some ground rules had to be put in place to reduce the death rates and increase the life span and ease lifestyle by introducing new things like Law and Order and traffic rules and stuff.

The evolution in race improved in elegance and refinement and civilization improved.


Eye for an eye, Tooth for a tooth:
In olden days, there was no surveillance and human race wasn't civilized either.
It was all about survival of the fittest forgetting that it is only applicable when you are in imminent danger of facing death against an animal not your neighbour or another peer.
King and Queen were respected as God/Goddess while the gladiators were to fight to death to give merriment to the wealthy and chosen cunning manipulative crew.
In order to maintain order and stability the humanity and kindness had to be compromised and innocents were harmed just to frighten the mass.
Whether it carried remorse and guilt or not, it was justified and was underplayed to emphasize protection against enemies and stability.

Lying and thieving even if could be tolerated had to be controlled by harsh punishment just to prevent it from happening again.

Fair trial, benefit of doubt, proof for the crime were expensive and hence were not an option.


First amendment, freedom of speech, Rights:
And when creativity and imagination were given lot more respect it began to express its gratitude and kindness to handle humanity and started to give humans a fair chance by giving camera, photos and forensics etc.,
This also helped the innocents not to be labelled as criminals and helped people in L&O to do right thing. They didnt have the need to feel guilty if they had doubts of their own, the forensics helped them to differentiate truth from lies.

The common mass no longer had to live in fear of getting arrested or labelled for no reason. They were given rights to fight and convince and prove their innocence.
And the rest of the mass and commoners didnt have need to live in fear of probability to be chosen and proven as a guilty party.
They were given rights and fair life and chance to continue their life to live the way they choose as long as it didnt trouble the guy standing next to them.

Live as you like and even as an ass as long as you dont kick anyone else.

Human rights : Right or Wrong
In Canada, you dont have capital punishment.
In US, you cant arrest anyone without reading him Miranda rights and you cant raid any house without a warrant.
And you cant hurt the accused physically.
In developing countries and underdeveloped countries, any person can be anytime arrested and abused and beaten up and sometimes even they can die in custody and there is law to fight for the victim or family of the victim.
Guilty or not guilty is all about forced confession that is extorted by using physical force.

Beating them up in custody denying them rights and giving them no rights are norm in country and society. And anyone can escape from the law if they have money and power.

Again in developed countries it isnt rosy picture either, yet if you dont have money if you have fair chance to earn media's mercy and could be spared.
Again sometimes you may be subjected to gamble your chances yet you can still expect a fair chance and if you can get one, you can sue the government and make them compensate for your loss.
And society in developed countries is much more tolerant and forgiving and relatively fair, a person can get second chance for Presidency even after a sex scandal.

And arresting a suspect and labeling him as accused and proving him to be guilty takes lot of work. Not just beating him up in custody and asking a writer cop to write a confession and force the convict to sign that.
Cops need to lie, do lot of leg work, collect evidence and get them run by forensics and coherence confession out of the suspects and prove that in court of law sometimes in front of grand jury.

Computer age:
Computer evolution started from town criers, messengers, doves, mails, telegraphs, telephones, cellphones, emails and twitter and social networks.

If at all, you stay in touch with your school friend, it could be only because of emails yesterdays and facebook today. How many folks ask any girl out in person unless they are old fashioned?
I can bet most of invitations happen via email, facebook or text message.

Facebook and Twitter:

We dont read books, we watch movies ;
We dont send Christmas cards, we send e-cards,
We dont call and wish bday, we drop the wish on facebook wall,
We dont buy chocolates we send candy grams,
We dont welcome prince charming with rose and champagne asking for our hand but to strangers in uniform asking for our signature

Not ignoring the revolution in Egypt and Libya sparked by blogger, facebook and twitter.
None of the above is bad, but I am not sure about
- the arrests based on what was written on a drunken friday night on facebook,
- firing someone over failed sarcastic attempt to impress someone on facebook about earthquake in Japan,
- using message "my roommate is gay" to arrest and sentence someone to 10 years,
- prank joke of duct tape on kid in facebook,



Where will this end?
- We are making cops lazy and forensics department go jobless and reducing work for prosecutors , and we are not even allowing the jury to weigh the evidence or think
1. We gave them guns to protect themselves in imminent danger, instead they are shooting autistic kids willynilly,
2. We pay our tax money to train them and exert confession from them
3. We took away rights to beat them up but we gave them rights to lie to accused
4. We made them efficient by not making assumptions instead do leg work and find things,

Now , these arrests are "THOUGHT CRIMES", what are we trying to do, asking people to stop typing anything on facebook and twitter and not allowing them to share something with their friends essentially asking them to SHUT UP and NOT SPEAK UP. This isnt China, this isnt Cuba.



And employers, employee
And the thing which bothered me the most was recent news about facebook fight with employers asking for potential employee's facebook profile before deciding to deny them a job.
This is just plain ridiculous, what next? Arrest people for precrimes like in movie "Minority report?"
