Everyone labels Myspace users as idiots, imbeciles and morons. Well, I’m here to tell you that they are not morons or mentally handicapped internet users. They are sophisticated people with meaning.
If you have ever been to a users page, you will the complexity of the coding. Videos, images, links, text, javascript, flash. They all combine to make a page where everything merges. The beauty of the of the auto play feature on music and videos makes up for the 2min loading time. Who cares if you need to wait for everything to download before you can view the page.

Would predators prey on idiots? No. Predators look for a challenge. They like to hunt. They will look for smartest, healthiest looking female on Myspace and ask her to meet him in a dark alley. Here, is where most of us anti-social people would turn away in disgust. But this user will proceed to arrange a date and make a new friend. A friend who will more than likely ease her pain that she suffers at home from her parents pressure to do well in school and not do drugs. You say predator, I say mentor.
As you can see. These people aren’t idiots. But pioneers in this new world of social websites.

4How sad…
No wonder the world is going to hell and Myspace predators aren’t the only ones I am concerned with protecting my children from.
People who get their jollies off displaying public contempt and dripping sarcasm at the choices others make in expressing themselves (Myspace or otherwise) like the author of this article, worry me. Do you have the same problem with blogging, which is not much different than Myspace just not as detailed? Obviously not…
How about tattoos? Poetry? Musicians who pour their heart out in a song from deep southern country to death metal…you got a problem with that too?
You know, the fact that one of my children (who love myspace) might run upon this little bit of sarcastic judgment about their chosen method of self-expression makes me reevaluate how I define a predator. Anyone who holds this much obvious disdain and negative intention behind their words would be what I call a mental predator and mental abuse is comparable, if not worse than, physical abuse.
My suggestion is to take some of your creative energy to the sites where the physical predators are and redirect it in useful ways like educating the possible would-be victims on how to not become one instead of standing way out here on the sidelines shouting insults masked as care and concern for those who have enough to worry about already.
Unbelievable…grow up and stop being the “other� kind of predator that children need protection from.

5Why do i get this site when i wanted free javascript code that would let me have a blog on my website.
As for the people on myspace, It is oneness that they seek. Eventually the world will be connected again and the distance will be no more. Contempt and disagreement have always been a collapsing of society,
as for that it will always remain and send people away from each other, like gravity upon atoms so is the mind of human kind.
For if not upon the grace of their voices, will lift them to the creations point of entrance to this universe, be it upon the trine of their souls.
