Factor in that these kids that rely on Facebook and Myspace for relationships are likely to have a poor relationship with their parents. They probably grew up with the television as an electronic nanny and fast food was their chef.

We all know it’s really that confounded noise that these young people call ‘Rock and Roll’....

Although, all kidding aside; what passes for Rock today is seriously degenerated from what it was in the 70-90’s. Who needs a drummer when a drum machine is there? Who needs harmony, counter-melody and non-sexual lyrics? We have a culture of one-hit-wonders; who’s music may be mediocure at best - but they have a video with really hot semi-naked girls. Gone are the genius’s of Rock (Beatles, Chicago, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Styx, and the others).

Now we have ‘Rap’ - c’mon; that’s just Square Dancing lingo with foul language.

If the kids aren’t friends in real life, I can see where this would be the case. However, making a sweeping claim such as this is absurd. I’m on Facebook. Before I signed up, I thought it was not a good thing ~ that people were putting out too much sensitive information about themselves to random strangers.

Now that I have signed up, I see that in some cases yes, that is what people are doing. HOWEVER, they don’t have to. You are in charge of what you put out there for all to see, or not see. Each user is responsible for their own security.

That said, I signed up and went about adding friends. I found friends I hadn’t seen in 20-30 years. I also found friends I see almost daily. It is a good way to keep up with my friends and communicate with them without having to go look up their phone number or address (especially if I haven’t seen them in awhile or if they or I have moved).

Naysayers could have said the same thing about email or even the telephone when it was first invented.

Why are these children allowed to even go on these websites or surf the net unsupervised in the first place? And why aren’t these kids taught to have thicker skins? This is all the fault of parents dropping the ball in a major way because they are scare poopless of actually telling their kids NO.

I think the UK has a lock on the number of idiots per capita.
