I know! It's pretty bad. A lot of what I do is based around making sure technology and communication networks don't effect social dynamics in negative ways... but I wont go into that now!

So you're like an IT mother theresa?

I wouldn't let my daughter have a my space account - the other one kids use too often is piczo and there's absolutely no moderating that goes on there.... I totally ban any such sites in regard to my child using them ........ I know i'm an over protective parent but the idea of the internet + my ten year old scares the life out of me.....

No, I don't think that's over protective at all. I'm not a mother and don't see myself as anyway maternal but I cringe when I see some of those pictures... i doubt half their parents have a clue

Bebo is a big one here and some of them are just pathetic.

Thing is I quite like myspace and I know it must be very hard to moderate but it would be great if it was over 18 only or something like that.

I've never heard it called that before

In regard to adults using any site like my space ... I personally don't have any issue with them big deal if you see college girls kissing with their bras on .... or whatever crap comes your way its the idea that any such thing could be viewed by my daughter or any other child....
I dont even let her watch MTV because of it's almost pornographic content never mind let the internet unleash itself anywhere in her direction...... and yes its certainly scary I've seen ten year olds with web pages named sexygirl and all that crap it gives me the shivers because I can just imagine some dirty paedo get a kick from that ... ewwwww.

God i'm giving myself nightmares!!!

I think people have too short memories. Do you not remember what you knew when you were a kid? Personally, when I was 5 I think I was beyond being particularly shocked by anything. By 10 there was little I didn't know about sex. I think 'adults' have a tendency to under-estimate children. The fact is that at that young age sex is the last thing on a kids mind, just because they have other interests and their hormones aren't developed, or whatever. Until about the age of 14 I was more interested in riding my BMX and smashing windows. But then, that's just me.
Anyway, back to Pearl Jam, and rain.

Yep, you're just too enthusiastic for me

Day after the gig is shit! Can ya not work really really hard on the rest of them and just not bother with that one?

My Space is boring.
Too many people with raging hormones pretending theyre someone theyre not..
I have an account but I dont use it.. I got bored of it after the initial novelty wore off and i realised what type of site it is ... sorry if ive offended anyone. just my opinion!

Lol, how could you offend anyone? I actually don't use it to find 'hot college lesbians'

I don't click on the ad saying 'meet these girls in your area'

I don't accept all those bands as 'friends' (well i took one or two in the beginning but think I'll delete them soon) but I've got a lot of people from this place.

What, MySpace? That's just people posting wacky pics of themselves and listing their favourite bands e.t.c.
Mind you, if I saw that you, for example, were a Simply Red fan then I would definately be shocked, and somewhat traumatized. :eek:

yeah i wouldnt let any of my kids near them but then kids being kids usually find out stuff one way or another

but we should do all we can to preserve innocence as far as possible

in fact maybe some of us still have it
