It's a good point - leaving Facebook won't solve things like drunken pictures posted by your friends. It will, however, stop things like "Yooooo, did you hit that last night? Wasssuppp!" on your Wall that your family, colleagues and potential employers can see.

You can choose to make your wall read only.

I always thought the best solution to all this is if we had multiple Facebook accounts, e.g. "Bob Smith (1)", "Bob Smith (2)", etc, and then invited family only to (1), close friends to (2), old high school classmates to (3), etc.

This way, if any of them posts something stupid on your wall, only that subgroup will know about it.

Then, of course, you'd need an app that lets you post the same status update on all your accounts.

If you have friends like that it is your own fault. Expect duche friends to pull duche moves.
