its really not its the dumb bad little kids messing it up for everyone else!and also if the police think online predators are going on it then they need to try harder to get computers out of their hands!thats just my opinion.and teens who are like 14 and up should be able to get on and no one over 21!

I don't think myspace is "bad" either, people just use it irresponsibly. Parents should monitor their kids when they go online, and if they allow them to have a myspace they should make sure they aren't putting any personal information or suggestive pictures on there. Myspace is made for people 14 and older, but there is no way to ensure that people are the ages they claim to be. If teens on myspace were more informed about the dangers of online predators and wouldn't give out so much personal information there wouldn't be so much negative publicity about myspace. Myspace was made to be a place for everyone (14 +) to connect with their friends, but I guess people haven't been careful enough when using it.

Hi, i am a mother of three the oldest being 8 and not allowed any access to the computer without me around and then it is limited access!!
Anyway i do agree with you in that it is all the bad ones that give it a bad name....
I believe that ya'll should have a safe place where ya'll can communicate and connect with people your own age.
I believe myspace started out with just that intention but it has gotten out of hand and too much to control for anyone or how many they might have at myspace working to make it safe for ya'll..
The fact still remains that there are on-line predators and not every young adult has a parent who checks regularly or is responsible enough to handle certain situations!!
It is not Myspace that i think is bad it is what it has become!!!
Hope this helps you better understand the way a parent feels..
Please just be careful....

If people don't have enough intelligence to know who to talk to and who not to.. then its their own fault.
Ignorant people give away their phone numbers, addresses and other information to people they don't know. But it's because of their own stupidity that people think it's bad. Technically, the website isn't bad it wasn't intended to be bad. I use it to keep in contact with people and friends that have moved far away from me.
And its annoying because the myspace community isn't a bad one, it's jsut that 13 year olds go on there and talk to twenty year olds and meet them places.
Pedophiles are everywhere even on the computer..
but oh welll... jsut watch who you talk to online.

I think that Myspace should be a place for everyone. And many think it's bad because so many foolish ignorant people give out to much info and then get kidnapped or try to meet someone they don't know and get kidnapped, killed, and/or raped. If people would be responsible then Myspace would be just fine.

Because pedophiles are on there and less than intellegent children go meet people from myspace. Also there are fakers on there and it really just gives them a bad name.
The same goes from blackplanet, facebook, and tagworld.
