blogs.zdnet.com — Can you believe this? Following continuing pressure from politicians (and parts of the media), MySpace is planning to offer parents the chance to download software which will monitor aspects of their children's activities on the social networking site.

No one should have to spy on their children. If the children are trustworthy, then they may use the website without being spied on. If you don't trust your kids, then don't let them use the internet, as that is the only truly effective solution. Maybe I missed it, but the article didn't say how the software works. Does it monitor an actual account remotely, or does it simply record all myspace transactions on the computer that it's installed on?

You can thank the courts and law system for that. Kids need a beating from time to time to keep them in line, but now if you do it, you go to jail. Not to mention all the hippie retards preaching you shouldn't hit your kids. God damn hippies!

"Kids have a privilege to be online, not a right."Same applies to adults too.Stop acting indestructible, adults are prone to immaturity too - otherwise stories like the man deficating on a first class galley cart would be nonexistant.

Ya know, a lot of this argument has to deal with "the privacy rights of a child." Well hey, guess what, the cracker jack argument doesn't hold water anywhere. First and foremost, children under the age of 18 (in the U. S.) don't have rights. Take a look at the terms and conditions page for once. Its a contract. Something persons under the age of 18 don't get to sign. And if you don't believe me, lets look at the meaning of a competent adult:"Competent, Adult (Sui Juris) Parties: Both parties must have the capacity to understand the terms of the contract they are entering into, and the consequences of the promises they make. For example, animals, minor children, and mentally disabled individuals do not have the capacity to form a contract, and any contracts with them will be considered void or voidable. Although corporations are technically legal fictions, they are considered persons under the law, and thus fit to engage in contracts. For adults, most jurisdictions have statutes declaring that the capacity of parties to a contract is presumed, so that one resisting enforcement of a contract on grounds that a party lacked the capacity to be bound bears the burden of persuasion on the issue of capacity."Of course, for some odd reason, people tend to over look that little tidbit. And on a more personal level, I don't feel anyone under the age of 18 should have direct access to the internet. I believe they should be given limited access due to the harm they tend to cause to themselves and those around them. And by the way, parents, you're not out of the firing range. You are just as much to blame as your whorish daughter or naive son who is talking to these pedos online. If you would stop letting T.V. and Internet play babysitter and for once see your little ray of sunshine for the person they truly are, you'll come to the realization that they're not ready to be floating around on the net putting pictures of themselves up. Of course, it takes a bit of that thing called "PARENTING" to see and act accordingly. You're not playing hero by letting them do whatever they want. Its not a different age. There is no excuse, none, whats so ever to let your children act the way they do. Stop displacing the blame from you. Take some responsibility for their actions as well as the lack of your own.
