    If you arn't stupid about it, you're safe. A lot of people I know
    try to get as much friends as possible. It's crazy, they actually
    try to go hang out with people they met over myspace. My sister
    met these 2 guys over myspace and now one of them
    comes up here from the city every-so-often. He's a cool guy,
    but she's lucky it wasn't someone that could hurt her or anything.

    notice there are a lot of "if"'s because you nkow not many people are smart, especially some young girls who get triggered by what some men say, and then "rape" comes and such which is a bad thing. It would be smart if people would be more secure about their info. because I know the PM's they get in their account are all about meeting and such. Which contains their personal info. You might as well give them your social security while your at it. I don't have a myspace because of these reasons, unless some how they make the site more safe. It's like on the news every other day now :/

    that is very lucky that the cops were one step ahead of the stalker. Thats just proof of how stuped some people are of telling thier number to people who they dont know.

    Well if thats the case i think it is damn unsafe to use those just not after hearing it from you but it is always unsafe to use such webs which require personal information!

    what i find stupid is that they have a whole page of safety tips for people to follow like not lieing about their age and stuff like that, but do people follow them no. It people did to that I think that it would be much safer than it already is.

    Yea, I am wondering why would people think of giving their number out to someone they don't know? You might as well give them your address also. Some people take it too far on Myspace.com. I really don't like that site because of all of the things I've heard about it. My friends tell me to make one, I doubt that'll happen. Myspace did help in one thing, show everyone how many sick people are out there in the world.

    it is safe on the grounds that there are not viruses when you sign up. however, on the bulletins, there are 'chain bulletins' where people basically post bulletins like a chain letter...someitmes those bulletins have ads which has spyware and stuff if you click on them. however, it is also not safe on the regards of how people are stupid enough to post their really personal info. and have people globaly view them

    the answer to that is if people MAKE it safe...throwing you name address street phone no social security number band account dogs name the couch location and how many clothes you did in a week is what makes it unsafe....people needs to realize a boundry on these types of things

    Heres something Ive always wondered about myspace. When your 14 or 15 you have the privacy setting. and when your 16 its gone.

    I find this isn't right because it should be until 18 because thats when your officially an adult.
