Perhaps this is not truly political, but it is something prevalent in American society today...

In the Adam Sandler comedy, The Waterboy, Bobby Boucher's mother was well known for her outbursts such as the one in the title.

Today, Mama Boucher is not the only one saying things in that phraseology towards the ever infamous MySpace.

MySpace, according to Wikipedia, is the largest, most popular social networking website with 80% of the social networking website visits, and the fourth most popular English-language website.

MySpace, according to parents of teenagers everywhere in America, is the largest, most popular way to get cheap, young sex, and the worst idea in the world.

Here's a story, as written by one of my friends.

DK
I love the little stories about parents sueing myspace because their kids hooked up with some perv. It's not myspace's fault that your kid is retarded. It's most likely yours. If this sueing myspace s**t is legal, shoot me. Right freakin now.

Why in gods name does someone think that myspace is any different than AIM or ChatRooms?? Just because you can go see a picture of the guy, or you have his information right there in front of you. Please do tell me, how exactly can you prove to me that those pictures are of the guy you're talking to and not his kid brother...?? And that he's really a high school kid and not some 40 year old drop out that pumps old ladies gas for quaters?? You can't dear child. That's why the internet is so crazy, anyone... at any time... can be any thing that they want. And nothing will prove otherwise. Oh golly Gee ain't it grand.

That's the speach I wanna give the stupid 14 year old girls that claim to be legal that chat and flirt with random guys on myspace... and are then stupid enough to go meet them in person.

NEWSFLASH! Myspace is ON the internet. The internet promotes lies. By Proxy. Myspace promotes lieing. THUS. Stop being stupid little tramps. I don't care if he said you were pretty. I don't care if you think he's the hunk you've been waiting for. It's some dude on the internet. Nothing about him is physically real. HE is a living fantasy. Get over yourself and stop being stupid.

That was not directed at anyone that is reading it. It's actually directed at some chick I've never met, that I read about in the Times. Her parents are sueing myspace because she had sex ((of her own accord)) with some 19 year old guy, when she was only 14. On myspace she claimed to be 16 ((still not legal)) and he had claimed to be 18 ((still legal)) and she actually convinced him to come pick her up... and her parents are sueing myspace for this occurance. YO YO!!! PARENTS!! You raised a WHORE! Yeah 19 year old guy did wrong... blah blah blah, sue him. not myspace.

See the problem is that these parents think they can get more money out of myspace.

"HEY little suzy. It's a damned good thing you ******** that guy, cause now myspace is paying for your college and the house note!! SuhWeet!! Next time ******** some guy at walmart so we never have to pay for groceries again!."


She says things exactly as she thinks them. And exactly as I think them, too.

To test and see the MySpace scare, I decided to break my oath to never get one of those blog abominations, as I was and am an avid LiveJournal user.

I sign up for MySpace, and the first thing I notice is that your last name is hidden. From everyone. Therefore, people cannot know exactly who you are, where you live, stalk you and rape you. Cool.

Second point. You can lie about everything. Age, birthday, place of residency, favorite books... Your picture can be a lie...

So, I'm wondering... How does this sex trade really work?

Well, I got an answer, in a sense of the word, about two months later. I got a request to chat from someone.

Well, I clicked on their user name, looked, saw they weren't someone I knew, and deleted the message. Hard? No.

Since then, I've had three people I haven't known try to friend me, and two offers to join a webcam group. All of them were surveyed, marked as unwanted, and denied. But in this scan, I noticed something...

One of the profiles that I checked was supposedly from some female from Beverly Hills. Supposedly, as the internet is lies. And on their comment list, the 50 on their page, all but one of them was of the same strain as "Hey, ur hott, who are you, lol?". The other said, "This girl is really a guy."

That's when it hit me... DK was most definitely right. People choose to chat to people they don't know. They choose to flash tits and send dirty pictures of penises to each other. They choose to be morons and meet up with someone they have never physically spoken to. And, as DK mentioned, some of them choose to have sex when they know they're too young, or don't know if the other person is clean.

In other words? MySpace has absolutely nothing wrong with it. The Clean and Simple answer is: PEOPLE ARE MORONS. As for sueing MySpace? Moronic and pointless. DK's invented scenario fits quite well.

The boy/girl did the illegal sexual act. MySpace just provided the service that was misused. I could use Gaia to the same ends. "Woot, I'm gonna get me some (fill in SN of female avatar here)." Retarded, as I know for a fact that there are many males with female avatars and visa versa. So why do it on MySpace?

To discuss: Is MySpace really such a terrible cesspool of sex, lies, and drugs? Or are people just morons that need their hormones removed?

Meh. Casual sex has been around for as long as humans have been around so I'm not surprised that people are using the internet for just that.

It's loli-licious! biggrin

MySpace is like a hammer. You can use a hammer to build a house, or you can use it to kill someone. Does this mean that hammers should be outlawed? That the manufacturer of the hammer should be sued?

This is how stupid/money-starved people are getting. This is proposterous.

I am thinking this is along the lines of the whole suing McDonalds for getting fat. It’s lawsuits because people can file them, and hope to get rich quick. This may become the new American Dream, sue to get rich.
“how did you make your first million?”
“oh I sued McDonalds for getting me fat, you?
“I sued wal-mart for someone molesting my daughter”(which is actually happening right now)

all the sueing goes on becuase our judicial system is utterly screwed up. A while back i heard about two of the stupidest cases i have ever heard about. The first was about a theif who broke into some persons house. The person had left a knife on the counter below the window that this theif was breaking in from. He cut himself on the knife, and seued the person for it. Guess who won? the stupid theif. The second was about a lady who bought some coffee at Mc Donalds. She spilt some on herself, and got burned becasue of the temp. She seued Mc Donalds for that. She won.

This is why people think they can get away with sueing for stupid reasons like this. The judicial system just isn't what it used to be.

check your facts... the thief lost on appeal... Also, that McDs had been warned by health code peoples and the buisness itself that their coffee was too hot... it was over 400 degrees F... It was neglegence at the temperature on their part, not the fact that it was hot, but that it was searing

um... no. I did. He won. And and the coffee could not have been 400 degrees dumbass. At that temp, it could have killed someone.

Yeah, the temperature was at least 175 degrees and that's 20 degrees higher than any other restaurant. 400 degree coffee is way too high a figure and obviously was not the case. The lady was justified since Mcdonalds knew it served dangerously hot coffee and never so much as gave a warning that it could cause serious injuries which they did.

Proof please? I looked at a website about the lawsuit and it said nothing about the coffee being that hot. I really doubt they would have coffee that hot because you wouldn't be able to even hold the cup it because it would be too hot.

...coffee can't be in one of those cups at 400 degs F for two reasons. One, the cup would melt. Two, the coffee would be boiling and evaporating.

That case is actually quite old, as I recall. The lady that had the coffee, top off, in her lap, while driving, trying to add cream or somesuch, had to slam brakes due to lack of attention, coffee spilled, burned herself, sued, won. And forced Mickey Ds to put "Caution: Hot!" on their coffee cups. As if they were going to serve it cold...

It's the same sort of stupidity as the guy in the Winebago who thought Cruise Control meant autopilot... went into the back to make a sandwhich, crashed into a median, sued, got money and a new car.

Anyone see a trend of idiocy?
