Depends on what kind of picture you are posting...=)
If its a wholesome/group picture then why not but if its something sexy or not so nice to look at then you better ask their permission to avoid making someone feel bad or embarrassed...
One thing you should consider is their personality like if they are a private type of person or someone who doesn't care much... Try to see if they are the type who post so many or just any photo online because if they do then it won't be a big deal anymore but if are the conservative type or the ones who don't post much or very few photos on their own profile then be considerate enough to ask...

In my generation (I'm 22), we post pictures without asking. You go to a party, you get tagged. Most people I know are fine with this (we're all friends after all), and if they hate a picture they untag themselves - not much else they can really do. No one I know posts intimate pictures though, and the pictures they "hate" are because they're making a funny expression or having a bad hair day. None of the pictures I have on my Facebook would put them out of a job. I guess we just don't party as "hardy" as some of my other peers. But no, we don't ask permission first.

Not really. Facebook pictures tend to be anonymous unless you make them otherwise. And if you're using Facebook ideally, you'll have your pictures private to some degree
You should, however, ask permission before tagging people, especially in:
- Embarrassing situations
- Pictures where they're unkempt
- If they're under 21, pictures in which they are consuming alcohol, holding a cup, you know the drill
- Anything else that can get them in trouble.

It depends on the picture. Most of the time this is not an issue unless the picture is embarrassing or its a picture of your friend and his mistress or something like that. Use your common sense. If you were the one in the picture would you want it on the web? If you make a wrong decision you might not have a friend to worry about making mad anymore.

I definitely think you should ask permission from family & friends before posting photos on Facebook or any other website. Individuals should always have the right to determine the level at which their lives are exposed. Facebook is a great networking system but, unfortunately there are some flaws that allow friends of friends of friends to poke around in your photos and private moments.

Most likely yes, depending on the friend and how well you know them. Some people do not care, but others are more wary of their pictures. Some situations to consider are the following:
the context of the photo, how was that person reacting (like is it clear that they are drunk etc), the age of that person and also where the person works and if her coworkers are her face book friend.
