This is sad,you guys:I heard on the news that a high school student in Alabama got kidnapped by joining local orgs and clubs on the internet. Well she joined this club and logged into the chat room.And this man was asking her very personal questions (you know,"where do you live""what's your address" "phone #") and one day someone knocked on her door,she answered it,and there was the kidnapper and that was that....



So that's why I'm going to be a little more cautious and a little more careful.But, I kinda trust you guys.(+ the fact that we're all in different states,countries, etc )But I'm not going to join orgs after orgs after orgs,because obviously,that could be dangerous.

I was kidnapped by Muse


and I loved it

What moron gives their address to someone they dont know

When I buy something on ebay I give them my address or when I order a pizza I give them my address

well i refer to lets say I speak to you for two hours...that doesnt make me your best friend and I still don't know you...oh well thats just my opinion...

I kidnapped an orger... I cant say who though

BlueRoses801 said:

exactly--some people still do not have a total grip on how many nutso people are online. hell, i've been on this forum goin on 6 years now and know most of you but i still proceed with caution before i get to know and befriend people here. all the folks i know online who i've met in real life thankfully have all been sane (thank gawd).

Really?

i thought this thread was about the P&R forum

Is that you spraying someone?

kookie said:

it ain't me, but dude is gettin maced there.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

but why is the smoke going the opposite way? he looks like he sort of turned his face a little from the mist.Maybe that's it.

kookie said:

Oh, im sure the mist is hitting him

That's the problem now days (people just need to be theirselves while online and not pretend to be somone your not). I mean think about it, I wouldn't want to come across a bitch online then meet somebody I've been talking to online, only to have them say "damn you're a real bitch online". I think ya get the picture.

BlueRoses801 said:

I agree with what you're saying. Seems that some people think that the first time or two that they talk to somebody, they're friends. That's not always the case, unfortunately, especially online.

kookie said:

You realize that it's not the mere act of her joining online clubs and orgs that led to her kidnapping right? It's the fact that she (very) stupidly answered all this perv's questions TRUTHFULLY! What a dumbass.

Forums aren't as dangerous as say, AOL, but someone who is stupid enough to give away personal info like that deserves to be kidnapped.

ok so i think what u said crossed the line.
end of that.

i dont think they deserve 2 be kidnapped @ all...so what, its a crime all of a sudden 2 be naiive?
ok whatev

i kno i might be meeting some ppl from here on the org, not sure when, but i know they wont get my address or anything...maybe a number where they can reach me when they get here...
u jus gotta kno how much info 2 reveal -- just because they dont know doesnt mean they deserve 2 get kidnapped.

SammiJ said:

Well, I guess you're right about that one. Most kids are too blind to reality to see what's going on, but if an adult gives away that kind of information to a person whom they've never met...I don't know... Some people should just be smarter than that.

RazzBeret said:

ok THAT i can agree with if you're old enough 2 kno the risk, act old enough 2 take precautions

SammiJ said:

If you're old enough to tie your own shoes, you're old enough to know to be careful around strangers, in the real world or online. There's no excuse for being that stupid.

yeah there is....people are just stupid
stupid is as stupid does

just because a lot of us are aware of the hazzards doesnt neccessarily mean that everyone else is...there are people who are just...well...:


sad 2 say, however it's true
