Squats bad for knees?

I think FuneralForMyFat, on Tumblr, shared something about squats. She said it was actually less harsh on your knees the deeper you go or something? I don't remember. My knees are bad as it is, so I'm not quite ready to start, but I'm echoing everyone else in regard to proper form. It's all in the form, just like with any exercise. If you don't do it right, it'll hurt or cause problem. Take the time to practice them.
