By that I mean they are mature enough and have enough sense to keep any crazy things we... I mean they... do private.

Employers have all sorts of ways, many you might never know about, to get information on you. With more qualified people looking for jobs than there are jobs, employers can afford to be choosy now, and they look for ways to "break a tie". All other things being equal, they might prefer the qualified person helping build a house with Habitat for Humanity over the qualified person with a snapshot of themselves staggering in a drunken stupor.

Of course, there are other reasons besides employment to be judicious about what you post on Facebook, who you accept as "friends" and what you make open to others.
True. Most jobs I have had in the past 10 years or so have done a credit check and background check. If that and my job history doesn't do the trick and they need to check Facebook/Myspace, they don't really want to hire you anyway.
