this thread is not for anyone to jump in and start ragging on people who go to MySpace...... no judgmental posts, please..........if you don't want to read it, don't....it's a warning mostly for parents of younger adolescents.

i've had a profile up for my photography and have actually done some work for people. photographed a longhorn herd, did some portraits, etc.

well, last night a friend was over and i was showing him the profiles that people post.

we found two that were unbelievably gross. one was so racist that it ook our breath and the other was so sexist and sadistic that we both were horrified and very alarmed.

i notified the administration concerning both of these profiles and received an e.mail that stated that both profiles were totally within the guidelines of the site.

the first one was "bleep you, N****" and was full of violent images and such. the second one was a man seeking women that he could cut for his sexual pleasure........and there were other things that he wanted to do, that i definitely won't even hint at.

i notified them that i would delete my profile as i wouldn't want to be seen as condoning such profiles.

parents.......keep an eye on those kids. i know that there are lots of youngsters who go on there and don't give the correct age. check out where your children surf and what's up at all times. i would die if someone's child saw one of those profiles. and can you imagine how many thousands there are just like that?
