Passing this on

I got this in a email and thought, why not –
Anybody happen to catch Nightline last night on ABC? In case youdidn’t, one of the hot topics discussed was MySpace. It is no secretto anyone who reads the newspaper or watches the 6 o’clock news thatMySpace has been in the limelight because of “sexual predators”trying to “abduct and corrupt” the youth of the world. To this I saybullshit! I see dozens of profiles a day showing 14 year old girlsdressed like sluts, wearing four inches of make up and 32 layers ofeyeliner, displaying their age as 18 years old and profile linesstating “Oh, I’m So Sexy” or “Hey There, Wanna Check Up On It?” Comethe fuck on! The youth of today’s world are already corrupt enoughdue to the undying need to be “older” than they really are. Iseriously doubt there are tons of people on MySpacestalking “innocent young girls” who just happen to have tramped upprofiles and ages 4 years greater than their own.
On Nightline, there was a story of a 12 year old girl who was a drug-addict and attributed it all to MySpace. She claims that MySPaceallowed her to easily fing drug dealers in her area, as well as oldermen to have sex with her. Now, at the age of 14, she has been checkedinto a drug-rehabilitation clinic and has been away from her familyfor 5 months. Her parents would rather place the blame squarely onthe shoulders of MySpace instead of their daughter, who even admittedthat at the age of 12, had already tried weed, crack, X, and hadslept with numerous guys older than herself…but of course, itwasn’t her fault, it was all because of MySpace.
Once again, COME THE FUCK ON! When are parents and children going tostop passing the blame and grow up enough to take responsibility fortheir actions and the actions of their children.. Parent;s, monitoryour children online, take some responsibility for YOUR children.Children, if a profile name sounds like something that comes out of acheap horror movie, like “DARK ANGEL OF DEATH WHO EATS THE BRAINS OFGIRLS”...chances are you DO NOT WANT TO ADD THEM AS A FRIEND.Apparently there is new legislation in Congress now to block MySpacein all public schools and public libraries across the United States.All because little girls want to act grown and don’t want to acceptthe consequences and parents don’t want to accept the fact thattheir “innocent little girls” are posing as 18 year old crack whorestrying to buy drugs.
Eventually, if this continues, MySpace could be totally outlawed fromthe Internet. Restrictions will be put in place in order to makeMySpace “safer”. I don’t know about you, but I use MySpace to keep intouch with my family and friends, use it for messages, and just tohave a space that is my own. Just because some children want to actgrown, does that mean I may have to eventually give up my MySpace? Ifyou feel the same way I do, please, repost this in your blogs orbulletins, or both as “STOP BLAMING MYSPACE”. If enough people postthis and spread the word, maybe people will get the picture and stopblaming MySpace for every little thing that their children do wrong.As user of MySpace, we should all repost this and take some sort ofaction. This is not a chain letter, and nothing will happen to you ifyou don’t repost this in 321654987 seconds. However, of all bulletinsyou will read today, I am sure that this one is the only one thatactually has a point to it. So please, have some common sense, andrepost this. Thanks
