LoL, I think that site might be successful one day. Heck, it might get to the point where it's uncool to not have a Myspace account and maybe, just maybe someone will create a spoof of MySpace in the form of a video and post it up on that other site called "YouTube"... who knows!
everyone has it especially teens.... its basically a girl/guy finder like match.com if u ask me . . . .
i found my cousin on myspace and my good friend from kindergarten lol
girls r dumb and get raped from this site and those are the people that should not have them.
I have a MySpace. I don't know if I can post the link to it here though.(?)
for some reason i have always hated myspace, not sure why
lol, I actually like it. I haven't logged on in a few days however.

Excuse me? ? ? I am so incensed by that I can't even begin to explain how stupid of a comment that is....
I'll be back...
oh my :o
OK...I went away and I took some deep breaths...
To say that girls/women are in anyway EVER at fault for getting raped is just irresponsible and ignorant. It doesn't matter what she wears, what she says, what pictures she posts on a website, what her IQ is, how much money she has, what kind of car she drives, the perfume she wears, whether she goes back to the man's place or not....it is not a woman's fault for being raped.
Rape is a crime of power and control. Rape is not a crime of "passion" or sexual attraction.
So, there are predators/perverts out there on the web....do we lock our girls up and not allow them to access the internet? Parents need to be cautious and aware of what their kids are doing...but to even perpetuate the idea that "girls r dumb and get raped" is just continuing and contributing to the cycle of violence and fear that women struggle against every day.
Ditto Foxx.... :D
I think part of the problem with myspace is some of the content that is loaded. There was something on the news about the site. It said teenagers and younger were posting seductive pictures and personal info like phone numbers and addresses etc. They interviewed law inforcement officials and they indicated the site is likely crawling with pedophiles which is scary if you ask me.

It is absolutely scary. Pedophiles who stalk are very sneaky and very smart. Even if you don't have any personal information posted (phone #'s addresses, etc.) they can very easily get it out of an child/pre-teen/teen in a quick conversation. The statistics say that 1 in 5 kids is sexually solicited online. Frightening...

Dateline (NBC) did three episodes where they worked with the Perverted Justice organization (http://www.perverted-justice.com/) to help bust these degenerates. In all three episodes, Myspace.com was mentioned a few different times. One of the law enforcement ppl they interviewed said the problem with Myspace is that anyone, any age, can set up a page. When kids/teens get on there, they don't think about who might be checking their page out, or the consequences that can occur from the info they share.
It's really a shame. I like the overall concept behind it; in fact, I'm shocked that they offer the hosting for free. Myspace is used by a lot of different up & coming artists and record labels. Not to mention that it's a convenient place for keeping in touch with ppl (families, fan clubs, etc...).
I have a my space, to connect with family and friends, to blog and let them all know what's new with my family. I am married so I am not looking to find someone. I have seen many news reports connected to the site, but again as I always say this is where the parents have to be down with what's going on with their kids. my daughter is too young for a space but uses the internet with extreme monitoring. We need to be tracking their web use and monitoring the sites they are using, which can be hard say if a kid has their's in their room but they aren't always home and we (at least of us computer savy ppl) should be nosy and check their computer's often, I know we can't control everything they do on the web but hey at least we should try our best :) . There are many like me :)) "old ppl" :)) that use myspace, and I am glad that's it's free(I'm poor) but would pay if the price was like 15 or so a year but 30 -40 is too much imo, like classmates.com you can't do anything except post your info, unless you pay, you can't really connect with old friends. They should have some type of age verification to make sure that these girls that say they are 17 or so really are and not only 14. I was searching my area for old high school friends and saw an obscene pic (male), and had to report it, they say no nudity but it gets on and I believe that if they get suspended for it they can easily start a new account, these are some of the things that should be addressed by the site which by they way is owned by a fox affiliate or parent company of fox 25 boston or something like that, I believe, heard that when watching one of their news reports about it.
I guess it's good that people are bringing this to our attention and it makes everyone more aware of what's going on.
Sad though that pedophiles haunt these sites for our younger generation.
They don't do very good with stopping obscne pictures, because there ARE sexually explicit photos on there of girls I go to school with!! Some of them are even younger than me! I've seen them get banned, but they just make a new e-mail address and start a new one. I think MySpace should have a filter or something that checks the pictures before allowing the user to add it...just my thoughts. On the other hand, no school today due to more snow! Great. lol I dislike snow...I think I better start shoveling now...I might be done by tonight. lol :D
i think that if you want to post an obsene pic then post it, if people cant handle pictures like that then you 1. shouldnt be on there or 2. just leave. and the 12-13-14 year old girls on there who do "hook up" with guys then they deserve what they get i dont feel a bit sorry for any of those girls. my fiances sister is 12 and has an account saying shes 18 since you cant say your 12 obviously, she has it stated in he rprofile that shes 12 but if she meets someone older, and gets raped, i would never feel bad for her becuase that's her own stupidity. and her parents even said the same thing when they found out she had the account.

I'm not going to respond to anything other than the fact that you can indeed list your profile as your real age. If you're not at least 18, then your profile (including pictures other than your main one) will only be visible by people you are on your friends list. This was added as an extra security measure but the kids choose to say they're at least 18 so they can make their profile and pictures available to everyone to see.
i know, i had an account myself and i know what you can do with the ages but she has 18 as the age you see under AGE then in her profile she lists that shes 12 and in elementary school blah blah blah
As long as the age is 16 or over, anyone can see your pictures, under 16, they cannot.

foxx love what you did to your mini she is ready for anything :)) :))
yes it is a dumb idea for a 12 yr old girl to go meet up with some 30 yr old guy but if he rapes her its not her fault. I see both sides...parents need to know what their kids are doing online while at the same time the kids themselves need to know that they to need to be careful

EXACTLY!! A lot of young girls are stupid and believe anything. Too many pervs
bra & kgansor,
How old are you?
Your statements are highly offensive. So if this girl was your sister you wouldn't care right?
No one wants to be raped.
1. Girls are not dumb. Depending on age maybe naive. (Same applies for boys)
2. Rape is a terrible crime and those who commit it deserve the death penalty.
3. Your lack of compassion is disturbing.

yes its just people that look up young girls and go rape them. i thought the age limit to be on there was 16?
There is supposed to be an age limit but all you have to do is lie. I know someone who has an 8yo with their own myspace account.
I told the person they are out of their mind. Too many parents ignore both their children and the dangers of the internet. It's a sad situation if you ask me.
Myspace is just kinda crappy because you can make up any age you want. Parents probably have no clue that thier kids are on there. Dateline showed girls on there in provacative poses (they were all of 14-16!) and they also were listing where they worked after school, where they hung out, and listing cell phone numbers. That doesn't mean they are 'asking' for anything, they just don't understand the possibility that some of the 'friends' they have on there could be dangerous individuals. All I can say is that parents need to monitor what their kids are doing online as much as possible and to make it clear to them that sick people exist so they need to be very careful.

Yes, they need a better way to verify ages. The website is a neat concept but unfortunately it is an easy mark for those who wish to do harm to others and it lacks the controls to protect their members.

couple of ppl on this thread would even
insinuate that the kids are at fault is deeply disturbing. Goes to show something about today's society.

I have to agree
I am quite dissapointed with some of the recent comments on this subject. I am all for an intelligent discussion of the issue but the key word here is intelligence or the lack of it by these two members. I'm quite surprised to see that the one person's profile claims to be an 18yo female. I am more shocked at the fact that a female can think that. I gotta wonder which is higher....they're IQ or age. :-\

they need to do what some websites that have mature content not suitable for anyone under 18. for a recent movie the devils rejects they have a thing on their that use your liecense or passport number to veryify that you are able to view content like this. im not saying it has to go this far but they need to do something to control how people use their ages on their. i
i use myspace to keep in touch with old friends and make some new ones and also found other devil fans and a few of my friends who are over the age of 21 say they are 14 so no one can view their stuff and i have a few underage cause i know them from my younger friends who say they are over 21 and getting hit on by much older guys and alot think its funny. so i think most girls know what they are doing until the guy wants to actually meet and then they do and never tell anyone and then something bad happens and then parents want to know why this happend. if they paid even close attention to what they were doing this could be prevented, especially if the computer isnt in the parents view or in the childrens room so they have no clue. if this sounds stupid im sorry..
If you could see and hear the things this girl talks about already and when she was in 5th grade, she was already sneaking out with guys much older than her, she already skips school more than anybody ive ever known, anything that ever happens to her nobody ever feels any compassion for her just because of the way she acts all the time, not even her own mother and brother. Her father is a different story because thats *his* daughter and he gives into everything she says because she crys and complains and throws a tantrum at that age she needs to be smacked around adn something needs to happen in her life to straighten her out, the only person to ever punish her is her brother, her mother doesnt care about anything that goes on adn her father is just too stupid to realize it. She already *WANTS* to have sex with guys and thats WHY she got a myspace account, she just got yelled at for having an $80 phone bill from talking to guys from there. So she knows what she is doing so whatever she gets is what she deserves. plain and simple. I dont have any compassion for people who knowingly put themselves in these kinds of positions.
The def need an age limit that you can't lie. There is another website that I will not say. It is for HIGHSCHOOL and COLLEGES only. And the only way you can get in, is if someone refers you. You have to say what school/ college you go to. It seems like a rather "safe" site.

Consensual sex is much different than rape.
So if this was your sister you would feel the same way?
How do you know so much about this 12yo girl?
Everyone deserves compassion.
I suppose you don't have compassion for someone who gets cancer from smoking either then right?
whether shes willing or not it will still be rape if the guy is over 18, and all the guys, that ive seen anyway, are over 18, and i know this much about her because shes my fiances sister and ive known her since she was a little girl and ive been around her everyday for the past two years so i know what she does on a daily basis. and my grandma got cancer from smoking, even though cancer does run in my family on my moms side. I just believe that if you know what you are doing adn you are doing it willingly then yes, you do deserve what you get. My fiances mom said that she smokes and one day she will die and shell deserve it for what shes doing and thats what i believe also. If you do nothing to stop the situation then you get what you deserve.

It's called shi**y f***ing parenting is what it's called. I'm sorry, but we're talking about a 12 YEAR OLD CHILD for G-d's sake! ANY parent that feels that their kid "gets what they deserve" in this type of situation should:
a. Have any/all children removed from their custody.
b. Have their reproductive organs "fixed" so that they won't bring any more children into the world that they obviously don't care about.
And the fact that ppl like you can't comprehend this truly concerns me.

No offense....but do you think she acts out because SHE NEEDS LOVE AND ATTENTION AND AFFECTION!?!? You state her mom and dad don't care about her.....that's a big part of the problem there.

I have to agree with you......I posted my other comment before I could see yours.....It's truely scarey too see someone talk about a 12 y/o like this and then think in the future she may have kids of her own.....Hopefully God...and the State Social Services Department where she lives watches over her childeren
Social Services gets involved only when its not needed anymore, or so it seems, People need help (whether emotionally or physically) and its not there anymore, because of all the ignorant people taking advantage of the situations

So let's say you are an 18-year old girl. You are at a party. A rapist puts GHB or a "roofie" in your drink. You pass out, he rapes you. Is it your fault because you were at a party?
1 in 4 women
1 in 4 girls under the age of 18

Those are estimated statistics. Why estimated? Because people like you put such a stigma on victims that they don't report the crime. IT IS NEVER THE VICTIMS FAULT. NEVER.
sounds like she was mad and venting.but if a teenager wants to do something most of the time theyll do anything to do it and its usually hard to stop them from doin what they want.
QuoteSo let's say you are an 18-year old girl. You are at a party. A rapist puts GHB or a "roofie" in your drink. You pass out, he rapes you. Is it your fault because you were at a party?
1 in 4 women
1 in 4 girls under the age of 18
1 in 6 boys.

Right on!!!!Even if a girl is extremely sexually active at any age, say she is drinking with friends and a guy rapes her it is
HIS fault, not hers for dressing provacatively, or having had many sexual partners, or for getting drunk, using drugs, etc. etc. !!! Totally true about why victims don't report, cause ppl then judge them/ blame them/say them had it coming/ etc. and like foxx said
IT IS NEVER, EVER THE VICTIMS FAULT!!!!!!!!!!
i luv myspace

eh i think its boring myself.i cancelled mine in the summer just to eh for me.for a lot of people it was just a race to see who could get more friends up even tho they hardly talked to any of them anyways :o
I was raped as a teen and I can say I asked for nothing. I have battled addictions because of it throughout the years that followed. Mainly, I have been and still battle a "shopping addiction." Surrounding myself with new things constantly makes me feel less dirty. So whoever believes that anyone asks for rape is ignorant and should be evaluated for thier own mental abnormalities.

Well said. I do believe that some particular people in this thread have no compassion for others and really do need to be examined.

this should get locked Homer, dont you think its getting a little disturbing? I know I could choose not to read anymore, but I read almost every thread.
Gee Bra, It seems to me you made a certain comment on here saying girls are stupid and get raped. Then with this comment...I have a question. Are you schizophrenic? :o So your comment was the root of most of this. Think before you speak and show some consideration for others.
I actually am very intelligent, I'm currently a sophomore and am in the top 10% of my class. And don't get you started? You started it in the first place. So how old are you? The way you made that comment, I would guess you're an inconsiderate conceited teenager.
