Naked Photo Test

The naked photo test is interesting. Suppose you had a naked photo of yourself. Not just naked but doing something that would embarrass you and your family so much, should it surface, you'd have to move to another town...maybe state.
Now you can't destroy it and you don't want to have it in your possession.

How many people do you know, you would trust that photo to?

According to this article.....
Quote:
Studies show that for almost everybody, the number of people we really trust is shrinking. About a quarter of the people they talked to said they had NO ONE to confide in. Walk down the street, one out of four people you pass have nobody.

Among the people who did have somebody, the average number of people in their circle of trust was two. And that includes spouses and parents. Yes, this is new. The numbers are down a whole bunch since just 1985. The world is becoming a colder and lonelier place. Here's why.
The name of the article is, "Seven Reasons the 21st Century is Making you Miserable". The reasons he gives are:
1. Not enough annoying strangers in our lives.
2. Not enough annoying friends, either.
3. Text = Bad Communication
5. We're not criticized enough.
6. The Outrage Machine
7. We feel worthless because we actually are worth less.

Now reading that list at face value, one could reasonably and logically say....what are you, nuts?
But actually the seven are only slightly misleading and he makes a very good case for each of them.
It would appear that more and more people are playing it cool, by making their life a little colder. Good line, huh? You can use that.

Anyway, the link is safe for work...or home, and I think well worth reading.
