thoughts on myspace

[Ryan Dognaux]

The first reason I ever got on Myspace at all was for the music function of it.

And it's great. It's a really good way to find bands that aren't mainstream or just haven't been 'discovered' yet.

And I'll just say this about people putting private and personal information out on the internet for the public to see - it's not the smartest thing to do. People have to use discression in these matters. Is it the fault of the kid who posted racey pictures of himself or herself on MySpace? Partly. You can't do things like that in the society that we live in. It's common sense, or rather a lack of it that's leading to this. However, one can't place the blame fully on these people. They're on a social networking website to do one thing - socialize. The internet is full of disgusting, perverted, and just plain messed up people. And I'm sorry to say this - it always will be.

If you're a person on the internet these days you have to look out for yourself and know what you're doing. Especially if you're a kid.

Myspace is a good resource when used correctly. Most of my coworkers don't go to college, so they can't have facebook. It gives me a way to communicate with them outside of work.

The problem with myspace is the problem with the rest of the internet. People are dirty. People are perverted. People on the internet are crazy. If they don't meet on myspace, they are meeting in yahoo games, aol chat rooms, msn chats, and the list go on and on.

People also don't take responsibility for their actions, then blame it on something else.

I don't understand how parents don't teach their children enough common sense to know not to talk to strangers on the internet, especially not to meet them.
