Hmmm...what happened to monitoring what our children do? If myspace didn't exist, the children and pervs would find another way to communicate. It must be nice to have a scapegoat... Jan 20 07 10:56 am Link How are they going to sue over BAD PARENING? because thats ALL it comes down to... Maybe if those parents of those assaulted children would inform their children & monitor them then maybe shit like that wouldn't happen.... Jan 20 07 11:02 am Link No I didn't mean sue over bad parenting. Dear God half the country would be in prison. The more educated seem to have less children..(that's a joke people...). I meant that they can't put blame on one website or another. How someone raises a child is what matters. Teaching a little common sense. For example, weren't we all taught to not talk to strangers? Now we have to add "on the internet too, sweetie..." to that line of teaching. But I suppose shoving a kid in front of the tv and blaming violent movies, or "Satanic music" for the child's mean streak, are the same...

It's easier to blame someone else for their mistake(s). Now you and I have to suffer.

Jan 20 07 11:18 am Link Myspace is just an addiction people have for their egos. "omg i got a new pic comment" or "omg i got a new message!!!!" wooopie. i used to have it and i was the biggest myspace whore if u will. (i guess thats what you call someone who is constantly on it lol). then first i had a stalker who wouldnt leave me alone. then i had plenty of people make fake myspaces of me, then i had people take my pictures that i didnt even have and make a fake facebook. pretty soon everyone and their mom will have a MM and someone will sue MM for meeting up with a photographer that didnt take good enough pics or something. honestly the internet is a joke sometimes unless your always on the defense.

YOU as a parent have to teach your child and watch what internet sites they use, and go to. They both have myspace accounts and have found friends that have moved away...for that its a good thing.

Seriously, is that a real question? considering the network is about 100x larger, entirely different media, and do you really think we can code up our profiles at all ? lol Jan 20 07 11:35 am Link Its so simple.. for those that hate or are afriad of myspace..delete your accounts right now. It is easy. It wasn't meant to be this big or part of pop culture anyway. THEN.(as i rub my evil hands together..).. more pople will go to mine: http://www.myspace.com/bripi (evil laughter fades).. then.. end scene......

And, you are right on the money honey!! Jan 20 07 11:41 am Link Corey Wellman wrote: Well, the medium would be the internet. Jan 20 07 11:42 am Link Paranoia, Paranoia - everybodies coming to get you - Americans WAKE UP - stop letting the media run your lives - 4 people out of what 40 million? Your chances of letting a creep or any other criminal harm you are just as great driving down the street, walking down the street, going to a mall, how many beautiful women get followed just driving around? You people with your cancel your account someone met a bad person - The bad person would have found away to satisfy his desease whether it were on myspace, the internet in general or in public You people should be smarter than to join the American Media Scare Tactics! Read or Watch something educational! Jan 20 07 11:43 am Link never mind. Jan 20 07 11:44 am Link This is why I only add people I know, people who are not minors, and remove automatically anyone who spams me, as well as reporting any inappropriate messages as spam or abuse. I am happy to say that I don't get any creepy messages anymore, and that I have met and communicated with many people on that site. However, I use that site primarily for networking and keeping in touch with friends and acquaintences. I do not add people indiscriminately, and if they get out of line, they are blocked and removed from my friends list. Simple as that. Same thing with my profiles here....Of course, Lapis is a bit intimidating (or at least that is what I have been told) and as a moderator on this port it is pure idiocy to attempt to attack me here. Most people that I add on myspace already know who I am, so, I don't get creepy people or messages. It is just sad and amusing at the same time how younger people going into modeling do not know how to protect themselves most of the time. The internet is all about sifting the wheat from the chaf, and by doing that, I have met amazing people here, on omp, and at myspace. Jan 20 07 11:47 am Link Its not myspace. I'm "underage", and I have a myspace account. However, I have ALWAYS been taught that you don't EVER agree to meet up with somebody you met online, no matter how well you think you know them. I have always stuck by this, and it keeps me safe - why can't those other girls just do the same? They need to be better educated rather than delete their myspace account. Jan 20 07 02:09 pm Link Please when I was15 in was CB radio...there will always be a way. My 13 year old niece is on MYS and she is educated as not to go meet strangers and there are wackos out there. She's been fine . And by the way, I am POSITIVE this poop happens on this site and other modeling sites. There are wackos EVERYWHERE. Being on MYS doesn't make you any less legit. Sony knows so!
