Oh, no, I'm not saying the Internet doesn't give predators more opportunity to get to kids. Don't misunderstand me. I'm just saying kids won't be safe just because you get rid of MySpace or the Internet.

RHAPSODY, I guess you're right...we'll have to agree to disagree. But I will say I don't think people who aren't hurting kids should lose out on tools and resources because there are bad people misusing it. {{{{HUGS}}}}

I'm not just talking about pedophiles and sexual predators, but many valuable tools and services that help people are misused by some: Children's services, the courts, 911, welfare, telephones, cameras, television, the police, religion, schools, positions of power, etc. Pedophiles often get jobs as teachers, priests, scout leaders, etc., in order to get access to children, and earn their trust. Should we eliminate all those positions, because some bad people use them?

Just making a point.

Oh, and another thing...I've been out of my 20's for quite some time, and have always believed freedom is one of the most important things people need. I believe in freedom as much as possible, as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights.
