MA Attorney General Seeks Myspace Changes
kaufmanmoore writes "Massachusetts' Attorney General Tom Reilly is saying that Myspace is not doing enough to protect children from sexual predators and is calling for action. The biggest proposal is to change the minimum age from 14 to 18 with an age verification system, but also to respond to all reports of inappropriate content within 24 hours and significantly raise the number of staff who review images and content." From the article: "The arrest Tuesday of a 27-year-old man in Connecticut on charges of illegal sexual contact with a 13-year-old girl he met through MySpace underlines the risks of the fast-growing Internet site that boasts about 60 million members."
Where will all the emo kids turn if they can't vent on MySpace anymore? Wrist cutting? Good plan!
So in short:
Societal taboos with no real reason, other than "it makes people uncomfortable" and "most people don't/didn't used to do it".
Like most things we want to legislate these days.
Endless arguments over trivial contradictions in books written by ignorant savages to explain thunder in the dark.
Must have been a nasty accident. First loosing all memory and then finding out your balls been ripped off and you are now a woman in all but name.
Cause if you were still a man or had memory of when you were a teenager you would know that "wanting to get to know her as a person" is a pickup line. It is what you tell them to get them drop their pants.
Age makes no difference.
Yet you conclude that the 50yr old is more dangerous then the 17yr old. What is even more shocking is that you seem to say that a 50yr old seducing your daughter is worse then the 17yr old who raped her.
Granted I am aware that there are some people who think that rape is normal even some who suggest that it is good for a woman but I thought we had those people safely put away as elected politicians and judges.
I really don't know what to think of your post. Rape is bad regardless of age and love is good regardless of age.
If you daughter found true love with an older man you would oppose it? Suggest she makes up with her rapist instead because he is closer to her age?
I don't hope so. Oh and as far as the fact that she underage. Well if it is true love they can wait. It is how you tell the pedos from the people who just fall in love across the age gap. The lovers can wait. The pedos would lose the love as the younger partner gets older.
Tell me something. The party she went to where she was raped. Did you think it was okay because there weren't any old men there? Let me tell you one tiny thing then. Old men would have beaten the crap out of any 17yr old boy trying something like that.
Trusting a bunch of 17yr old boys without supervision with your daugher. Smart move.
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
