But you are looking at myspace as a resource. Kids look on it as a way of 
getting their 15 minutes of fame or showing thing they shouldn't be doing or 
seeing things they shouldn't be seeing. The internet is a great resource 
for all kinds on information. I don't even have a dictionary anymore 
because I can look up any word online and have it in seconds, but look at 90 
percent of the internet and it's crap....
