MySpace lawsuit attorney says there's no difference between a virtual community and a daycare center

You can block your kids from going to myspace just like anyone else can. That would be the responsible thing to do. You need to instill enough thought into your kids to know better and be able to judge right and wrong themselves more than have it done for them. That is part of the problem these days. To have free speech, free press and a free internet means that you have to teach and control your own kids not control what others can and cannot do.

Are you joking? The scariest concept I can see here is that I think you're ACTUALLY serious. So let me get this strait... It's MYSPACE's fault because you can't keep your kids off the computer? Might I reccomend keeping them in a fish bowl? Put a lid on it too.
Because parents cannot keep control of their kids and are so desperately afraid of EVERYTHING we should all be forced to run around on leashes in padded suits? Give me a break.
"You don't have kids." Of course I don't. I didn't go around popping out children just because it seemed like a fun thing to do when I lacked the responsibility to look after them. I've helped raise my fair share, but until I consider this world a safe enough place and I feel I am responsible enough to raise them and keep them safe, no I'm not having kids. Yes, that means I probably never will because I have whack job lunatic morons like you trying to strangel them to death with their umbillical cord before they're even born.
So... let me follow this out. I should be suing everyone in the united states because I can't be trusted to watch myself and they should have been? That IS the legal precedent you want to set. You sue myspace because they didn't identify criminal elements? Now sue every corporation, public building, and private community because they didn't flood you will warning that there MAY BE SEXUAL PREDATORS out there after your young tender children whom you could not be bothered to watch 24/7. IT IS NO DIFFERENT so don't even mouth the words.
You need to look out for you and yours. You want to change things and make it safer for your children? Put the blame where it belongs you flaming retard! Look in the mirror. It's YOUR fault that this sort of thing happens. Did you step forward to enforce stricter punishments for rapists? Probably not. Did you push the laws to actually confine these dangerous people? I doubt it. YOU let the sexual predators get away with this. Not some online site your kid went onto when you weren't looking and found them on.
I'm willing to be most of you whining maggots BOUGHT your kid the computer/cell phone/pda that your kid uses to get online daily to look up things you are to buisy to keep watch on and you want to blame everyone but yourself. You disgust me. You and everyone like you.
MYSPACE is a place giving people a voice and turning a buck from advertising. YOU are supposed to be a parent. You don't even know you're not. You're a legal guardian. The government owns yours kids. Read the social security laws. The moment you gave one to your child, they're now a ward of the state. It's not Daddy Warbucks. It's Uncle Sam.
I'm sick of you blind eyed morons crying foul everytime you stupidly let something bad happen to yourselves. Common sense is almost gone thanks to you people. You spill coffee and blame someone else. You eat to much food and blame someone else. You let your kids online where they talk to strangers who offer them candy and rape them and you blame someone else.

THIS IS YOUR FAULT! If you want to fix this, take responsibility and fix the problems at the root and do not shoot the bystanders when you blind fire.

I'm sorry if the rest of us are not opportunistic weasles enough, but we tend to look out for ourselves. When we screw up, we don't blame someone else and sue them to help pay for our wasted lives. We go make one. You people are the poster children for hate crimes. You can't even fix your own real world lives and communities and you want to come 'fix' the net just to make yourself feel validated?
Enough is enough. If you don't like the world, do something useful to fix it that WE ALL consider useful or get out of it. You're wasting valuable people's air.
If you think it's a crime to take away one person's rights and will by forcing them to do something against their will, yet have no problem with raping the entire world in the same manner by taking away our god given right just so your child isn't tempted and you don't have to be a responsible parent? Do everyone a favor... kill your entire family and then slit your wrists. You're polluting the gene pool with weak minded stupidity.
I can tell you exactly what I would have done if it had been my daughter that had been preyed upon. The moment I knew who it was, I would have made that sick twisted socially decrepit freak pay for an eternity before I finally allowed them to die a screaming messy death. Then I would have went to jail knowing I helped make the world a safer place for the rest of us. Incidentally, I would have filmed the whole affair and posted it on MYSPACE as a warning to what happens to people like him.
It's pretty sad. A child molestor has a average prison stay of two weeks before he's mutilated to death by the other inmates. How does it feel to know that hardened criminals have a better more effective sense of justice than you seem to?
Ebay, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Livejournal, Youtube, every email, every online game, every message board... ALL of these will soon be gone if this court case is found in favor against Myspace. If you do not like the net, please keep yourself and your kids off it.

And my kids do NOT go on the internet without my permission, they do not go to myspace, and they are watched when they are on the computer at all times. Blaming Myspace is insane -- here's a hint -- PAY SOME ATTENTION TO YOUR KID. I suppose you are too busy though than to make sure your kid is safe --but please keep trying to pass the buck. It only makes you look irresponsible and ignorant.

I have just come across this site and was reading some of your views, I have to say, Parents that are blaming "My Space" are crazy. You need to pay more attention to what your kids are doing and quit letting the computer be your babysitter. These underage girls that get on there and lie about their age and then cry rape, should be punished and sitting in jail themselves, as should their parents. Instead of ruiening young adult mens lives. This growing problem just auppals me. And I won't stop until I get some kind of law passed to protect the Innocent young adult men safe from these " Not so Innocent" young girls!!!

how about blocking myspace or dis-connectiong the internet all togather if its really that bad! anyway, how about you suggest somthing that could stop sexual predators and the rest?? as the guy who wrote the blog said, the only way is to shut it down!!

I'm at 25 year old female, but my parents taught me not to meet strangers in private places. Although Myspace was not around in my teens, other internet sites were and again- guess what-
I knew better, thanks to my parents, than to fall prey to a predator by agreeing to meet someone I spoke to online. You can't blame myspace, or any other Internet site, for your lack of responsibility to ensure your children know the difference between what's right and what's wrong....
