Anybody listing on myspace.com?

What is the attraction of this site?

I think it's a giant superficial social club sir. And the attraction seems te be how many contacts you can acquire - of which more than half they probably have no idea who they really are. A friend showed me once, just silly.

From what I've been reading its a great place for pedophiles and child molesters rapist, sexual Predators and Registered Sex Offenders. Let's not forget the high school killers and suicide gang.

Not a day goes by that there isn't another "sad" or sick story in the news about that place.....

Guess I'm being one-sided and going off a first impression Eagle5US.

I think the anonymity the internet allows is not a good thing for many......Most do not understand who or what may lurk behind a screen name.....
I keep reading about cops busting pedophile after pedophile from sites like that one. Had a big sting here in Phoenix not too long ago. Need more stings, kids need to be protected from pedophiles.

It does give you a snapshot of what's going on in the mind of todays youth. I looked up a few of my young students. . . The future doesn't look to good when judged against them and their friends.

No wonder the pedophiles love that place.

I signed up just to see what the fuss is about:

Five teenagers arrested; alleged targets were popular students

Thursday, April 20, 2006; Posted: 5:26 p.m. EDT (21:26 GMT)

RIVERTON, Kansas (AP) -- Five teenage boys accused of plotting a shooting rampage at their high school on the anniversary of the Columbine massacre were arrested Thursday after details of the alleged scheme appeared on the Web site MySpace.com.

Sheriff's deputies found guns, ammunition, knives and coded messages in the bedroom of one suspect, Sheriff Steve Norman said. Authorities also found documents about firearms in two suspects' school lockers.

"What the resounding theme is: They were actually going to do this," Norman said.

Norman said he would ask prosecutors to bring charges of conspiracy to commit murder against the teens, ages 16 to 18. He said the state attorney general would handle the prosecution.

Deputies' interviews with the suspects indicated they planned to wear black trench coats and disable the school's camera system before starting the attack between noon and 1 p.m. Thursday, Norman said. The suspects apparently had been plotting since the beginning of the school year.

Officials at Riverton High School began investigating on Tuesday after learning that a threatening message had been posted on MySpace.com, he said.

The message discussed the significance of April 20, which is Adolf Hitler's birthday and the anniversary of the 1999 Columbine High School attack in Colorado, in which two students wearing trench coats killed 13 people and committed suicide, the sheriff said.

"The message, it was brief, but it stated that there was going to be a shooting at the Riverton school and that people should wear bulletproof vests and flak jackets," Norman said.

School officials identified the student who posted the message and talked to several of his friends, Norman said.

But Riverton school district Superintendent David Walters said the significance of the threat didn't become clear until Wednesday night, after a woman in North Carolina who had chatted with one of the suspects on Myspace.com received a list of about a dozen potential victims, including at least one staff member. She notified authorities in her state, who contacted the sheriff's department, Norman said.

Norman said that the potential victims were popular students and that the suspects may have been bullied.

"I think there was probably some bullying, name calling, chastising," he said.

Riverton, a town of about 600, is in the southeast corner of Kansas.

That must be something they do. If you look at how many "friends" he has, it's like 73,079,700 friends. I don't know anyone with 73 million friends. His profession is MySpace, though.

Well, it's nice that he wants to be your friend...:)

I'll sleep better tonight knowing I have at least 1 friend. :cool:

I'll admit I'm one of those who got suckered into signing up. The one good thing I've found about the site, is that I've been able to get in touch with friends I lost contact with a long long time ago.

TS is dead on, the place is a pedophile's paradise. Some of the news stories you hear from people meeting on Myspace can make one sick.


On another note, Eagle...thats a gorgeous car!
