God loves you . Time Magazine - yeah, I know, one more 'news' 'journal' of questionable and undesirable curiosity - has MySpace on its five worst website list. Why? Here's their take:

It's by far the most popular social network, and one of the top ten online destinations overall. And, yes, Time.com named MySpace one of our 50 Coolest Websites of 2006. But since then, things have taken an ugly turn, and we're not just talking about poor page design. It seems the community has become infested with marketers and other opportunists who create false profiles and essentially spam other users, all under the guise of "making friends." Of course, there have always been loads of MySpace profiles of fictional characters, created to help market a movie or promote some other brand. But it's the bait-and-switch tactics from these leeches (Want to be my friend? Buy a ring tone! Fill out this survey!) that have taken things to a whole new—and sad—level.

I can relate - my 'new friends requests' are heavy with spam, and young-things-barely-dressed looking for old, lonely - men? - no, wallets; (what else?); sometimes, two or three 'ladies' a DAY!?! - - - Folks: Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6) These misled young ladies are e-sluts, hookers of the cyberspace, just-plain-dreadfully-sad-disappointments to one or more others who once called each of them 'my beautiful daughter'. + Lord, have mercy on us. And, give grace to MySpace that it sorely needs. Remember, I love you, too Reminding that we are all on the same side - His, Pristinus Sapienter (wljewell @catholicexchange.com or ... yahoo.com)
