Social Networking Sites Used by Gangs to Recruit
MySpace has gotten quite a bad reputation. It was put off as a "dates-r-us" for pedophiles at one point, at another it was seen as a distraction to minors, but now it seems like MySpace got a crown for the pile of dirt on their doorstep. Police departments all around America are confirming that criminal gangs (mostly local) are recruiting on social networking sites, especially MySpace. What's worse still is that gang fights will start on the internet, and then people will take them to the street. Some gangs will even post a form of propaganda, just for the purpose of getting children to join their gangs. In response to this story, some social networking sites have already declared that anything illegal or gang-related is immediately deleted and cause for an on-the-spot ban.

I understand that there are probobly fights that actually occur, and it is a serious thing...but really, a gang that recruits on myspace is like a clan that recruits on a gungame server...there going nowhere.
Yeah... once again, most of us are idiots... Thats why were the worlds superpower, because everybody just wants to be ignorant just like us.
Nobody gets it... most people !!!!EVERYWHERE!!!!! are unintelligent and impressionable.
haha, I need not say more about the above
lol this is a great topic
Were we unintelligent back in in WWII we ran the Germans out of your country for you?:shadedshu
The american culture is based on take take take.
We like you! We are not your enemy.
The US fought England during the revolutionarry war. That has nothing to do with what is happening today.
If the UK needs help we are here to do that. You too, have always lent a helping hand in what was going on in the world.
The US is not. "take take take". It treats those who value freedom and democracy very well and pours money into all areas of the world to help. The people of the US donate more to charities worldwide than any other country.
Try not to let your local media color your perception of the people here. We do care.
If 80% of the population choose to celebrate a certain day in their homes, REGARDLESS of religion (santa has nothing to do with religion.) NO ONE can say a thing about it.
I bet if white people went to their homeland and demanded anything public about their religion was offensive, we'd just end up in jail.
If people complain about public religion thats not theirs, demand they cease any public displays of their own first - this includes clothing and all religious material and displays. No head coverings for muslims, no beards for the amish. it might OFFEND someone, so they'd better be NON OFFENSIVE themselves before we do anything to help them.
Minorities always want 'equal' - by equal they mean 'us 10% of the population want 50% of everything'
Police cant stop them, because they're too afraid of being called racist etc. Just actually enforce EQUALITY on everyone, allow no hypocrisy and things will even out.
And this amount is about to expand to an even more obscene amount due to a certain US senator Joe Biden. Another 1% of my countries GNP is about to go to these countries that cant
survive without US aid,...then the citizens of these G/D countries can bad mouth the US:shadedshu
And if you are bringing up country size (and you did) then the 2 years you spoke of are really not that impressive when you consider the the size of the UK compared to Germany.
Take take take my huge American ass.
Sure we have our problems, but we are a super power in the world. Which would mean one thing, that not all of us are crazy gang bangers.
on topic this sucks but lets be honest, it was only time before this happened. the Internet is a tool for education and destruction.
