some mom is trying to ban myspace.com from the public library in my town.[views:8014][posts:77]_____________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 9:18pm - KeithMutiny ""] i just saw the petition at the lil peach next to my house and i laughed at it in front of a bunch of soccer moms.

| ______________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 9:30pm - hungtableed ""] Myspace should be banned from kids using it. That shit is Evil and sets them up to be raped by sickos - or at least be stalked by them. |
| _____________________________ [Dec 27,2006 9:31pm - pam ""] I've met a ton of awesome people via the internet, at populated places like shows and parties. However people like 14 year old girls who post pictures of the tits and ass on myspace and then meet some dude alone somewhere and get raped are fucking idiots. That was never even a fucking option to me because my mother and father taught me not to be a moron. As Rich and I have often mused about, everyone should have Irish parents...there'd be a lot less idiots/pussies in the world. Movies, games, music and the internet don't raise kids. |

| ____________________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 9:37pm - theaccurseddrummer ""] MySpace got banned during peak hours at BCC because retards spent all day on the site rather than letting people with papers to print and research to do use the computers. I agree with that, but parents have no clue. My kids are going to be tough, take no shit and question just about everything today's spoon-fed milquetoast teachers have to say. I can't wait for the suspension notices the first time a history teacher tangles with one of my boys over Christopher Columbus. Not Irish or Catholic, but I was raised in a mutt home, the spawn of a half-indian, half-Portuguese dad and a Scotch-English mom. I'll kill a motherfucker. |

| ________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 10:22pm - yummy ""] Just to play devils advocate here...what good is myspace at a library? |
| ______________________________ [Dec 27,2006 10:25pm - pam ""] Yummy, it is no good. I could see banning it from a library where people are supposed to do research and other constructive things. The gripe is that these moms are trying to ban it because they think it's corrupting their kids, not because it's not a constructive way to use a library computer. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 10:26pm - xanonymousx ""] my guess is that the mom's that don't want their kids on myspace and block it at their house don't want their kids going on it at the library.... hmmm i don't know why it would be good at a library research? |
| ______________________________ [Dec 27,2006 10:27pm - pam ""] I'm glad my school banned it from the library during peak hours, I can actually do my fucking work now. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 10:30pm - yummy ""] I hear ya. I agree with all the above statements. But, if kids are just going to the library to use myspace, they are taking up other people's time. I don't know... |
| ______________________________ [Dec 27,2006 10:32pm - pam ""] I agree that it doesn't belong at the library. My earlier point was that if kids were raised right, MySpace wouldn't be harmful to them because they'd be smart and responsible. People need to stop trying to shelter and cushion their kids and instead teach them to be smart and responsible. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 10:33pm - yummy ""] So, doesn't it mean that if there's no myspace at the library then peolpe who actually want to expand their mind don't have to wait for a bunch of kids to post their blogs or whatever. |

I rarely see people doing anything remotely important on the computer in my library. 90% of the times its kids playing halo. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 10:36pm - yummy ""] Well...these parents must've already made some mistakes if kids just want to go to the library for myspace. Again, I agree Pam. |

Yeah, man. I have a bunch of friends that have been in seemingly healthy relationships from myspace. Actually, a friend of mine met a dude on myspace from Florida and she moved down there to be with him. We all thought she was fucking nuts, but then they moved up here and he's the bee's knees and all that shit. Myspace isn't 100% evil. Just mostly gay. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 11:13pm - brian_dc ""] oh, and censorship is shitty and un-American. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 27,2006 11:27pm - Lamp ""] I've learned to never get too chummy with anyone I meet on the computer just because I know there's a good chance I'll be too lazy to ever actually meet them in person. Not to mention the fact that I don't really like people anyway. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 11:36pm - hungtableed ""] meeting people in person that you met on the internet is fucking whack! esp. people looking for relationships. I always get a good chuckle over how pathetic someone is who is listed as a myspace member for "Dating/serious relationships" |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 27,2006 11:39pm - DeRtOxIa ""] wow i actually almost feal really good about my college now. They don't ban anything. Not because they can't or don't feel like it....but because the president of the college is super anti-censorship. They just monitor the library and watch what people are doing. If it starts getting crowded they just kick off the people who aren't doing anything. If it's dead....who cares, do what you want. They figure that since we're paying our bills then we should have full use of the facilities. |

Yeah, I was in a great relationship with a gorgeous girl I met on myspace. We were together for about a year and a half. Then she realized she didn't like me anymore because I'm a very caustic person and destroy everyone around me. High-five to me for being the "bad part" of a myspace hookup. Beware!? |

| ________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 10:52am - yummy ""] If you don't take road trips there is almost no reason to have DVD player in your car. And parents wonder why kids watch too much tv and are getting fatter and dumber. |

Some parents are too lazy to do the things that are fundamental to being a parent, like paying attention to their kids or acting like loving, supportive parents, which is why their kids are so desperate for attention (and affection) that they post pictures of themselves looking like skanks on myspace. It's not just the girls, either. I've seen quite a few profiles from high school aged boys who have pictures of their abs and such.

| ________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 11:21am - yummy ""] It must be an alter ego thing or they just don't have enough confidence(class) to refrain from it.

| ____________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 1:37pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] A few years ago in the mall around xmas time I remember seeing a group of 10 year olds dressed up like hookers. I couldn't help but think they have shitty parents. Then all I could think about is that some guy is going to see one of these whores walking down the street and rape and kill her. Then her family would be all over the news crying and saying "she was just an innocent girl". Jesus, I hope somebody raped and killed her. This isn't a strange reaction or anything right? :spineyes: |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 1:39pm - Sacreligion ""] in regards to myspace, i have the same gripe with it that i do with text messaging. the world's becoming very personalized, to the point where you rarely actually need to go out and talk to someone to get something done, or simply for the sake of fun and friendship. i hope for the sake of the future of humanity, that the pendulum theory is correct, and kids start playing outside again. |

| __________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 2:19pm - Niccolai ""] argue all you want, but there really is no legitimate reason for people to use myspace at a public library. Especially since it could cost the library (and town) money to fix any malware issues that are likely to happen. that and the library would be liable if I met a hot 9 year old girl while she was on myspace there and I tried diddling her, which is even more likely to happen. |

| ____________________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 3:09pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Are we talking about public libraries or school libraries? I was under the impression that public libraries let you use the internet for whatever. Obviously they'll frown upon porn downloads and such, but I thought it was just there for the public. Is this true? Or are the public library computers supposed be purely for research to be used in conjunction with book-learnin'. Somebody tell me, because I've never used a public library computer. Computers in school/university libraries are different I'd think. I'd imagine it's up to the school. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 28,2006 3:15pm - Dwellingsickness ""] With the exception of a band Myspace for networking,shows, whatever....I think Myspace is pretty gay.

| _____________________________ [Dec 28,2006 3:18pm - pam ""] I find myspace extremely useful and convenient. I only have awesome people on mine, so I don't see any of the gayness. I also hate the telephone and won't use it unless I'm forced to so it makes my life easier. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 28,2006 3:18pm - Yeti ""] as far as i can remember from going to the library in school, there are only certain things that are explicitly forbidden, ie. porn. but in essence the public library computer system, though public, is there for people who dont have access to internet research. technically you could go there and surf the web mindlessly because it is "public" but the understanding is there. at least thats how i look at it. i think myspace should be banned altogether. i had a profile on it for a while, but after the fun of sending my friends funny pictures died down, and myspace reared its ugly head, i decided i'd rather not contribute to the poison of society. |
