I hate myspace. I am not on there myself, but I have a couple of friends who are, and it seems so ghey. How can you possibly represent yourself accurately with a couple of stupid digital photos and some "My favorite movies are...." or "I listen to ......" lists? Obviously people are misrepresenting themselves pretty severly and with severe consequence in light of all of the POS sexual predators that have used it as a tool for their POS ways. I am by no means saying that everyone that uses myspace are misrepresenting themselves or are using it for malicious intent (there are plenty of people finding old friends or former classmates, organizing social events, etc.), but every time someone asks me if I have a "MYSPACE account," I want to shit diesel. A pre-emptive "I'm sorry" to those who feel like they have wasted precious life reading this, but after reading the thread about the 10yr old girl who got murdered I had to vent. What are ARFCOMMER's thoughts on

ive been on myspace for about two years and mostly just use it for keeping in touch with my friends who moved away to college, my friend stationed in Iraq, or other friends who moved away.
i like it... but there are some retarted fucking people on there. |
|
Never tried it, Looked at it today, web pages are full of crap and hard to read,

G N T S A This has got to be the 87th myspace thread in the past two days. I sound like a broken record but: I'm on it. I like it. I use it to keep in touch with my high school friends There's an ARFCOM group there. The spammers are annoying. The 14 year olds are annoying. The fact that there are pedophiles is sickening. But it's good nevertheless. And it's free. |
|
and how could i forget-
i used myspace about a month ago to search for a girl i went to high school with 5 years ago... sent her a message- weve been dating about about 3 weeks now. myspace has its benefits. |
|
|
It could be another myspace ploy....... meet her anonymously, because her tongue could be stuck like that.....
|
|
|
|
|
There's a whole bunch of emotionally fragile, easily manipulated 16 year old girls on there. I don't even have to cruise the local high schools to prey on them.
|
|
I don't get it? |

Myspace is a bit juvenile for my tastes. Maybe if I were single or secretly considering a second life as a pedophile, but it's really no place for a heterosexual, married, middle-aged, conservative, Republican, capitalist, white man to hang out.
|
|
I am just amazed that there is a place on the intarweb where I can type stuff, and other people can read it. Can you imagine that?!??! I can't get my mind around such a concept.
|
|
Oh, sorry deej - I thought you were listing all the responses he could expect - saving everyone time from another myspace thread. I mistook your response as a joke. |
|
|
Gotcha. |

I have a myspace account to keep in touch with friends and networking. I pretty much filter out and delete all the stupid messages from the many losers that have nothing better to do than to send SPAM messages and ask you to be their friend. Stan

Parents should keep their kids off it.
That said, I use it, but I'm over 18. |
|
+1 Met up with a girl I went to school with 12 years ago, wierd part is, I didn't really know her then, she turned out to be a really cool person |
|
|
Im on it... Have found a few people that I went to school with. Thats about it....
|
|
I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself. |
|
|
Can't you post this crap in the 4 other threads about MySpace? Jebus.
|
|
I'm on it to keep in touch with friends. Not sure about its use for romantic purposes. |
|
|
I use it, I play a few games online and it makes it easier to keep in touch with everyone, schedule games..etc. Also found a couple of the guys I went to school with, but if I had kids they wouldnt be on it unless they were 16+.
|
|
people below the age of 18 arent supposed to be on there. Just email the url of an under-aged users profile to the staff and they will take care of it.
|
|
That would get rid of 80% of their user base. |
|
|
I work with a guy who is always talking about all the hot girls on there
|
|
give a +1 if youve gotten this: Title: IM NOT INTO THIS Body: "I have this friend who needs a date and me and some of her friends think you would be really good for her. please check her out."
Followed by a 'add to friends' button and sent from a blank profile. |
|
Something similar: "Me and myfriends were looking at your profile, we voted 3 to one that we had a crush on you, etc, add us". |
|
|
where have I heard these words before? |
|
|
Yeah, only I get "DAMM GURL U LOOKIN FINE 22 SINGLE IN MARTINEZ WANNA MEET? LATERZ". To which I respond, "I'm sorry, was that English?" |
|
|
mos eisley. |

|
They obviously don't. There's a big proportion of "hip hop lifestyle" types on Myspace. |
||
|
Well, I took the plunge.
I know have a myspace account. All these threads had my curiousity maxed out. Weird - seems the founder of this thing, "Tom" is my age. |
|
ahhh I thought it was from star wars. |

|
its a festering pit of the lowest scum on earth. That place only exists because people with social prolems needed a place to express themselves. they have no life other than hiding behind a computer screen and thinking of there next victim. child molesting, satan worshiping, wanna be gang bangers are on gheyspace.com
|
|
I'm on there, I love it, and you haters can go fuck yourselves. Myspace is a great place for self expression.
Maybe you'd prefer a fascist state where there is no freeom of expression...but not me. |
|
I don't know I'm gonna even open my mouth on this, because this is GD and it's like pissing in the wind but here goes:
Some of you guys are saying it's a seething pit of vile whatever, a haven for pedophiles, only emotionless hacks hide behind their computer and use myspace. Dont you hear the hypocricy in what you're writing? MySpace is no more a den of pedofiles than ARFCOM is a pit of murderers. We constantly bash the left for catagorizing all gun owners as neo-nazi whackos, yet here you are doing the same thing. Just like my guns, if you don't like em fine, just leave me alone. You dont like MySpace, stay away from it and keep your kids away from it, but your generalizations make you hypocrites. Since you all are calling MySpace "a festering pit of the lowest scum on earth. That place only exists because people with social prolems needed a place to express themselves. they have no life other than hiding behind a computer screen and thinking of there next victim. child molesting, satan worshiping, wanna be gang bangers are on gheyspace.com" perhaps you should browse the "Iraq" section and tell all those military kids that you all normaly worship here on this site that they're scum. |
|
That ought to blow some minds. Lotsa .mil folks on myspace. |
|
|
So is the real world. Try it sometime! |
