Fired Over Facebook

http://mashable.com/2011/02/08/facebook-employment-speech-lawsuit/
Just goes to show how a simple facebook post that was someone's opinion can get them fired because others can find the post offensive.  Everything posted on the internet can be used against you in some way even if t is in the future.  It may even get you fired.
