the mucis i listen to has some "more serious" things in it as you say...

i would post some as an example... but i would have to blank out much of the words for the sake of not being Skuzzinated.
My resource officer was one of the adults that went camping with us, he brought his cd's and played it when everyone left to go swimmin in the lake. However I was taking a nap and he was playing it and man language every 3rd word but it was pretty cool cause alot of the officers jammed out to it.

You can be denied a job for any reason or no reason in most states.

I know Arkansas is an at-will-employment state and I think North Carolina is as well.  You can be fired from a job here and they don't have to give you a reason why.  Technically they don't even have to have a reason but most do to CYA.

I'd be curious how they would be able to connect me to the online games I play as I never use or reference my real name in relation to my online names?  I know that there are companies that will consider any MMO playing a ding against the candidate, so just posting in a "face to face" manner is not always enough.

I expect the .gov has tools at its disposal, should it choose to focus them on somebody, that can dig out things that a company doing pre-employment screening cannot.

It's just scary to me.  Especially after being the victim of a botched background check with 3 full pages of convictions including 2 felonies. 
It took weeks to straighten out and I nearly didn't get the job over it.

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

The point was that there are now firms that do nothing but look up everything a person has written on the internet.  People will be denied work because of their point of view on a topic, that's a freedom that we still had until recently.
Once again, how?  How will they attach my posts here and elsewhere to me?  HTC and a couple other companies have that info, but nobody else does.

Facebook, yes, and it is a factor in not having a facebook account.  Interestingly my wife was just turned down for a job for not having a facebook account, they thought she wasn't social enough.  Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Facebook is social media???  More like hiding behind a monitor to me.

I have no use for facebook at all.  I interact with the people I see and know.
