You must be forgetting that these are a very small number of cases contrasting with the MILLIONS of users who do not experience harassment, nudity or abduction. In fact, I'll go as far as saying these online communities are a much safer experience than would be had with an unsupervised trip to the mall.

I don't and won't use Myspace but I'll defend it as a legitimate community.

Because if they see boobies they will ask what a condom is and contraceptives are evil because they encourage sex without procreation.

Because wash-your-hands-of-personal-responsibility has been the name of the game in America for over two decades.

Myspace is an important online resource that brings sexual predators together with sexual prey. It's like a dating service for serial killers.

Seriously though, we shouldn't eliminate everything that might be dangerous just because a few idiots will get hurt. The vast majority of Myspace users aren't trying to bang kids. Also parents should take some action to check the internet history on their kid's computers and make sure they aren't doing anything dangerously stupid. Take some responsibility for your damn kids and don't expect the whole world to change just to keep your kid safe. I don't give a fuck about your offspring and neither does anyone else. We certainly dont' want to be inconvenienced on their behalf.

It's about bloody time someone else said that.

The world ain't exactly rated G, so, why the hell should everything be all flowers and happiness? The world isn't a pretty place and if parents are worried, then actually get off your ass and watch over your damn brat!

I don't see anything wrong with Myspace. Myspace takes the necessary steps to protect users, but users also need to protect themselves. If a girl is stupid enough to give her info to some perv than she deserves to be raped. You really can't protect people against their own stupidity... Also, you can't ban every potentially dangerous website. Hey, even NationStates could be dangerous! I have quite a few "NationStates Buddys" myself. I don't really know who they are, but I hope for the best and I try not to reveal to much about myself...and if a creep shows up at my doorsep some day, I have no one to blame but myself.

People go crazy on myspace.

I've seen profiles that are overflowing with quiz results and pictures of random shit.

They seriously think people are going to look at all that shit.

They don't. Websites and mini-programs generate the layouts and color schemes, all they do is press buttons. They will embed pictures, all the websites now are giving code specifically for embedding something in a myspace page. The people doing it are lucky to be able to use a computer, much less HTML.

Oh dear... I live in a small town in North Carolina, and trust me, every time I talk to a friend who has a Myspace thing I hear "Do you have A Myspace?" And I say "Yeah, but I haven't messed with it since March." Myspace isn't evil, it is just a medium. If you can blame all the abductions on Myspace, then you can blame swearwords and pornographic/violent drawings on your pencil and notebook. My 12 year old sister has a myspace, and she is on it every chance she gets. Every kid in my school has a Myspace, and some type in their addresses.

The world won't change to make kids safer. There really isn't a substiute for parental responsibility, no matter how annoying it can be sometimes. There are just these laws in place to shelter children and let parents be negligent idiots.

Pedophile Less Interested The More He Views 13-Year-Old's MySpace Profile

LONGVIEW, TX—Area pedophile Dwight Sanderson said Monday that his interest in getting to know and eventually meeting MySpace.com member "Courtneee" has significantly declined after a closer read of the "lame" hobbies and "self-involved" blog entries on the 13-year-old's profile.
...
"At first, she seemed like my type of girl—innocent-looking, single, and, best of all, she lives right nearby," he said.

Sanderson continued: "Her profile seemed very enticing at first. She plays softball in the same park that I always hang around in. But right before I was going to leave her a private message, I decided to check out her latest blog post."

He said the 1,500-word entry "droned on and on" about everything from dealing with her great-grandmother's death last year to hopes for her new job as class treasurer.

"I'm looking for a cell-phone number and a home address, not your life story," he said.

Though admittedly discouraged, Sanderson, who classifies himself as "not very picky," said he still hoped that Courtneee could play a small, fleeting part in his future.
...
Though he made a legally binding promise to himself and law-enforcement officials that he would never pursue another relationship like this, Sanderson says he nonetheless plans to "give it a shot."

"Internet dating can be risky," he said, "but at my age, and their age, it's really the only way."

I dont see the point of shutting it down. Why not shut down AIM or YIM or MSN messanger while they are at it? There are more people being preyed on over those than myspace ever will. Since, not everyone uses myspace, only a few million and just about everyone in the world uses some type of instant messaging, that has a computer. Also there are some dangerous people on myspace, not in the physical sense though. Ill give you an example of what im talking about. When Napster was shut down for illegal music sharing, the people that shut them down got HACKED so hard that their servers were shut down for quite some time. And with more people using myspace than Napster you bet that, if they do, the people that shut down myspace will be very sorry, since anger, boredom, and competition are why people hack in the first place. So basicly the people that will try/will, will regret it later. Also what about the parents? How about they step in and see what they are doing online and see their myspace?

It's kind of dumb to expect the whole world to change just to protect kids. Adults shouldn't be punished by taking away their resources on the net to protect kids who's parents obviously can't be bothered to care.

I find it quite amuzing that most of the myspace haters loves nationstates...Star Wars any1?

I find it quite amusing when people like you enter these forums and make amusing comments only to be chopped to pieces in a matter of minutes.

Good luck.

I do not however feel the least bit of sympathy for dumbass teens who post their address, age, gender, slutty pictures of themselves, and then get in trouble when scary men come to the door and rape them.

exactly how often does that happen?

Seriously. Who goes to Iraq cuz myspace tells them to? A moron does, thats who. I use myspace, and i have never been raped. Neither have my firends. Its the people who make thier adresses thier usernames who get raped. Its not that hard to have fun with it and still stay safe. Its their own fault.

I used to be avidly against MySpace. Honestly, it isn't a bad thing. It is freeware, so you are suggesting that any thing that is freeware and helps others communicate should be shut down.

You are a fucking idiot who will be shot if you ever cross paths with me.

Yes, nudity and abduction is soo bad with MySpace that it doesn't happen more than 3 times a year.

Get real.

Also, that thing when she wanted to marry a guy who was Palestinian was something that isn't bad. But no, I guess you think Tom used his psychic powers to coarse the girl to go to Palestine.

Again, get real.

I think it should be shut down (not going to happen, sadly), if only to shock all those whiny little emos back to reality

Not so much MySpace itself, but the users.

which 'whiny little emos' would those be, and how would shutting down a single website 'shock them back to reality'?

The people who use it are sad. Whatever happened to going to a club to meet people?

Please, it has occured to you and others on here that some people use it to get closer to people they've met in person, right? Reading this thread, I get the impression there are two kinds of people knocking Myspace here:

"Myspace sucks because it's trendy and I'm anti-trendy and cool for b-tching about it."

-and-

"By cracky, I don't get this internet stuff. Why don't people go down to the five and dime anymore?"

Elitists, all. There are more ways to socialize, some enjoy many ways. As far as danger goes, as others have said, it as much puts kids with pedophiles as much as taking kids to the mall. It makes for much better ratings though. This year, it's not ocean, but Myspace, predators!

The criminal act is not justified, however, one should not be too surprised if a criminal act occurs after going out of one's way (perhaps even accidently) to assist in its occurance. I can still hold the victim (or the parents thereof in the case of a minor) at least partly responsible because of very poor judgement, even while I cement over the hole that the rapist will suffer in for the rest of his (or her) very short life.

The so called friendly online community Myspace needs too be shut down. Their have been many children abducted because they think they are talking to a kid when they are really talking to some "active" man. Kids also dont need to see nude images of others. In the Gay Myspace Community that happends to mutch. And that girl who left america to go too the middle east to marry her myspace lover!.......Please.

Who agrees myspace should be shut down or remain!
Myspace may, if nothing else, remove some unneeded genes from the gene pool...

Really, though, it's the most pathetic substitute for human contact that I've seen in quite a while. Seriously, talking to your imaginary friend is healthier than using Myspace, even if you're 40. ESPECIALLY if you're 40.

I'm afraid most of what I have is anecdotal evidence. I am not aware of any studies regarding Myspace and social connectivity, though there are studies that have shown a marked decline in social connectivity over the past few decades, and that trend is continuing.

Some people use Myspace solely for communicating with their friends in real life. These, I don't mind too much. But the ones who are "friends" with people they don't even know...

just because myspace calls everyone on your list a friend, doesn't mean that people actually assign the same social status to all of them.

Myspace is an important online resource that brings sexual predators together with sexual prey. It's like a dating service for serial killers.

Seriously though, we shouldn't eliminate everything that might be dangerous just because a few idiots will get hurt. The vast majority of Myspace users aren't trying to bang kids. Also parents should take some action to check the internet history on their kid's computers and make sure they aren't doing anything dangerously stupid. Take some responsibility for your damn kids and don't expect the whole world to change just to keep your kid safe. I don't give a fuck about your offspring and neither does anyone else. We certainly dont' want to be inconvenienced on their behalf.

Yep, I hear what you're saying. That sounds really good. The only problem with that is that there are a lot of parents that are really bad at parenting. It would be nice if parents acted like parents across the board.

so what's the deal then? what's to mind about people having, for example, the unofficial russ feingold page as one of their top friends?

I hate MySpace. I hate with with a passion. But that's just my opinion, if people want to waste their time with that crap it's their own business, not mine.

I do not however feel the least bit of sympathy for dumbass teens who post their address, age, gender, slutty pictures of themselves, and then get in trouble when scary men come to the door and rape them. If you're that stupid, you deserve it. Quite simply, it's natural selection.

Thats a little harsh
