Do you think Myspace is as bad as the Media makes it to be?  If so why?

MySpace was originally created for the music scene. The fact it is now a haven for teenie boppers and "HEY LOOK AT ME!" sites is ridiculous. Its another place for internet predators to do their thing. Parents dont monitor their childrens doings on the net. Just recently I saw a news story that a few kids were exchanging thoughts on a copy cat act of the Columbine shootings on its anniversary. The police were tipped about the myspace account and they kids were arrested. I think myspace needs to be monitored better and possibly put back to the roots it was originally made for. I mean there is enough other places to "whore" yourself.

I think that it is absolutely disguisting!!! As a matter of fact, I have a personal experience because of myspace involving my mom's friend's daughter, who is now 13. She met some guy off of there, thinking that he was a 15 year old little boy, and was sexually assaulted and raped because of it... That's sad, yes... We just finished court with that and he is now serving 2 life sentences for 2 different rapes and 200+ counts of child pornography, but I agree with some of the other people here... \n\nIt is definitely the parents' responsibility to watch and monitor their child's actions on the computer, but if they choose not to, they need to filter and put parental controls to ensure that their child does not have access to places that are not "age appropriate" for them. If a 13 year old can go to myspace and lie and say that she is 16, then someone is definitely not doing their job...\n\nPlease... please... PLEASE... don't let this happen to your children...

I'd blame it on parents but unfortunately kids can go to any internet cafe or friends house and get on myspace...and they're going to if you don't let them. \n\nJust as well let them use it if they want and talk to them about the dangers of meeting strangers on there.\n\nThat's something you should be teaching your kid anyway.\n\nThe media likes to oversensationalize this kind of thing. Last year it was shark attacks this year it's myspace. Girls get raped on college campuses too it doesn't mean you shouldn't send your kid off to college.

It's not MYSPACE that is dangerous.  It's the people who post too much information for everyone to read.  At the same time, most that information can be found in a phone book.  The thing about posting it on MYSPACE is a criminal can look at many people in a short amount of time and find their weaknesses...like "my mom and dad grounded me from the phone cuz i wasted all my minutes...i hate them...wish i could run away."  then the predator is like hmmm, i could lure this one away...easy.  ETC.  Just when you post on there, limit who can see what.

Being in the music industry, myspace does help a lot in promoting bands and their music.  It's a great source to network business.

Myspace is an addictive drug. I have to admit that I have one and right now I wish that I didn't. Try and stay away from it. People aren't real on it, too many fake "friends".

I don't think that myspace is the problem. The problem comes in when people use myspace for the wrong reasons. Most people use it to keep in touch with their friends, or to make new friends. People also use it to promote bands and comedy acts, etc. Perhaps what should be done is some sort of screening against sexual predators, as well as screening for underage users. I see lots of youngsters on there who add a few years onto their real age in order to sign up at myspace. Also, parents need to know what their kids are up to online, and kids need to be taught about what to do and not do, and what to say and not say while online. Myspace isn't the only site that predators use. If you watch any Dateline "To Catch A Predator" news reports, you'll see that chatrooms from all over the place are used, even strictly teen chatrooms. I think that if strict screening was done *some* of these crimes could be wiped out.\n\nSo..to sum it all up....it's not the site that is causing the problem. Some of the users are there for the wrong reasons.

yo g, tila tequila didnt need to be the most viewed to be on a cover of a magazine. she was already a popular model before (nudes and non nudes). basically myspace is like xanga but for any artists, mainstream or underground, to display their music and to be recognized. however, it has become another type of xanga, which is a website intended for blogs and your profile, but even worse than xanga. it has become a popularity contest like high school...the more friends the cooler you are. its ridiculous

I dont like myspace.  i think it is a stupid "hip" trend that everyone is following and makes them feel special.  i bet this time next year when everyone will forget all about myspace, there database will be filled with millions of accounts that arnt kept up anymore.

Delete it. That's what I did. Now I have so much free time to do things that I want to do, not being controlled by a website. I know it may be hard because you have like a million friends, but its so worth it. Myspace takes over people's lives, don't let it control yours.

Thank you for the warning. However, much talk has been going on about MySpace and it hasn't effected many users thoughts on the site. Sickos are everywhere, not only on MySpace, and honestly if someone was to say something like Heyy i'm Mary I live at 123 Chesnut Ave NY then there is something very wrong with them. Thanks for the warning though!
