MySpace is a disease

Children are, by design naive and gullible. Sites such as Myspace need to have systems in place to forcibly protect minors by default. Assuming the site is owned/run/profited by adults those same adults have a duty of care that goes beyond COPPA to NOT facilitate, aid and abet the social parasites of all kinds/ages [paedophiles being just one].
Eventually that "wonderous" entity that is the Legal system will be utilised in a class-action suit against sites such as Myspace....just as soon as actual harm is occasioned.

Maya: You seem to think you know something about me. You keep making these assumptions that are founded in fiction. So allow me to set the record straight:
I have a pretty darn good relationship with my mother and father. It is a healthy, open relationship that we quite enjoy, as it has become a relationship of parent/son as well as one of peer/peer. We speak pretty regularly, usually at least once a week. Our busy schedules don't allow for too much more, but we make it a point to communicate often. So please stop insisting I need to speak to them. I do.
You also have insisted, on more than one occassion, that I need to utilize my "potential", that I am, in some way, squandering my life. Well, I think I am doing okay with my "potential". I could always do better, but I wouldn't say I have squandered it. Let's see: good scholarship to a good undergraduate college, served a 2 year, full time religious mission to Guatemala, married a wonderful, caring, beautiful woman (going on 9 years now) with whom I am working to raise 3 children of our own, on top of the 14 year old foster daughter we cared for most of last year. Add to that being accepted to and graduating from one of the top medical schools in the nation, matching in one of the most competitive residencies at an ivy league institution, and trying to be the best father and husband I can be, well, frankly, I don't see too much squandering there.
I don't want to sound like I am bragging. I certainly didn't do any of this on my own. I have been blessed by my Father in Heaven every step of the way, as well as having been supported by an amazing family (both parents/siblings and wife/children). But, to show my appreciation for the blessings I have received, I have tried pretty hard not to waste the potential I have.
Seeing as how you know nothing about me, I would appreciate it if you would stop insisting I have or am wasting my potential. You are in no position to lecture me on how I should live my life. That is for those who actually know me.

| it's just something you don't understand. You don't even understand your own incoherent ramblings. Learn to read in context, and learn that you can't even begin to fathom what I do or do not know based on a single, random blog entry. |

| Are these the people you want to attract? |
Maya: I have tolerated you far longer than I ever should have in the first place. You are no longer welcome here.
| either that's some dialect I'm not familiar with or I just totally sucked with 4 years of high school Spanish...funny, because I aced every year. |
