Hey, your post answered a question one of my members had on my blog.

You know, everyone might think that this is a silly idea, but trust me, if this Influenza does go the distance and really start killing. Just imagine how NOT silly it will be.

In South Africa and other African countries, imagine how fast it would kill a township where people live in 2m by 2m houses(Shacks). and the shacks are less than a meter apart.

No medicine to help them.

I think right now, its a little over the top, but in time, it will be no joke.

Study says kids should not show “bad” behavior on myspace because it can be checked by colleges. This is not fully true. A myspace user controls the content, access to and longevity of the content. Unlike news, myspace content is gone once deleted by the user. A user can remove any words or photos.

The user controls access. Myspaces can be private, so only “friends” have access. Even on a public myspace, some features are only open to “friends.” A friend request is approved/denied by the user and a friend can always be deleted. ONLY a friend can see the Comments on the bulletin board, receive and send messages, post a Comment, or see friend-only photos.

A user can delete the whole page anytime.

There is NO way to send an email to a myspace user, unless the user posts an address. Only a Friend can send a message on myspace. The researcher misused Myspace, which is against the Terms of Service and a crime.

The study is flawed. If I got a myspace message from a busybody, I would assume I was being stalked. The behavior is changed not by induced common sense, but for fear of the weird “friend.”

These myspace users did not give KNOWING CONSENT to participate as HUMAN SUBJECTS in this study, making this unethical research.

RESPECTING THE PRIVACY OF OTHERS IN A PUBLIC SPACE is common decency. We ignore conversations and let people be. DO the same with myspaces. Do not be a voyeur, pervert, or busybody. RESPECT OTHERS, especially KIDS.

People worry about steep food costs and obesity, though, they spend less on ‘back to school ‘ , citing recession. People criticize the car manufacturers for their inferior energy efficiency, while the articles over the future renewable energy and energy- efficient autos can’t be easily found on the the front page. People are concerned about the unhealthy diets, however, they ignore the toxic environments on the internet in the name of freedom. War calls for more substance abuses, internet porns, violences, too much gaming to paralyze the conscience, rationality. Teens, youths are in dire need of their parents’ care and love above food, which lead them to use internet for the sound informations, education, just as the new president mentioned. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION !
