That is how i feel about online forums such as myspace and facebook lol.

I am on those networking sites and I feel that ppl should have enough sense to post certain things. You wouldn't send certain things in the mail or on the cell phone then why put it on the internet? I have been on these sites for over a year and I have managed to avoid having questionable pictures and/or things online.

Facebook used to be cool when it was only for college kids. But since they opened it up to everyone, it blows. There is a new site out there called bookwormme.com that is only for us college kids. Really! I heard final version will be out right after TG.

Personally i dont see a thing wrong with this entire thing other than the jerks who thought it was their business to turn them in,,THis is just people caught in the act of being people,,like the guy singing into his hairbrush or the fat chick poledancing in her kitchen with the refrigerater,,This is a very hard life everything fun is illegal and ridiculed,,,what was just shown didnt hurt anybody,,you have to grab some fun someplace,,and as long as it legal who cares?? play on people!! play on!!

I never cease to be amazed by those that post embarassing or private things on line for the whole world to see, then get upset when the wrong person sees it. If it's on the internet, anyone can see it, and it's a whole lot harder to get it off the internet!

College students come in all ages..for some people, well into seniorism. I don't watch stupid people doing stupid stuff. I do think it's great they are all corralled in one place though. Keep them out of my neighborhood.

This was a funny video, it made me laugh! But at the same time it was real and it could happen to anyone and maybe should not be looked at as funny!
Deanos_Girl @ Nov 17th 2007 11:48PM
I think this was funny! At the same time it is so real that it is scary and shouldn't be funny!
Deanos_Girl @ Nov 17th 2007 11:49PM
This video was funny, at the same time though it was so real the it is not funny but scary!

Hey Dinosgirl...were you trying for some kind of worlds record? Trying to see how many time you could re-word the same thing?? You must be in middle school.

Facebook, myspace and anyother blog is not bad. It is how you used it. You can set your profile to private, choose who you want to be friends with, and even block people from looking on your page. People are careless. Its their own fault not the company's. They gave you the option. So use it. I have both myspace and facebook. Yes I get people that I dont know asking me to add them. I simply push deny. Its easy.
So please dont try and feed me that Facebook and myspace are all bad. It depends on how you use it.
Oh, and on the under age drinking. If everyone only knew how many under age kids were drinking, smoking, and using drugs..

Not Gay Thom, Proper English---Homo , Gay adj; Merry, Bright, Lively, brilliant in color, given to social pleasures, has nothing to do with being a rump ranger ie: Homo.

People have far exeeded the expectation of the internets ability to have their own watch me be a complete fool time. Like that kid that smashed his face against the porch off the trampoline and now has the brain capacity of a three year old, all so he could be on you retard tube. Some people are just plumb dumb as a stump.
