Fioughnella's blog: "Just some random thoughts..."

I am a person who believes very strongly is the idea that you must respect yourself in order for others to respect you. You will not find any pictures of me, online or otherwise, that are not tasteful, and I try to keep my language respectful. I do not add people to my friends on this site or any other, unless there is an oversight, that do not show at least a little decency and self respect.

That is why, I guess, it bothers me so much to see so many, mostly young, men and women that create profiles that are so sexually suggestive that you would think they are about nothing else. It buggs the crap put of me that most of the people I run into online have no grasp of the idea that good spelling and grammar show intelligence. If they do, they do not seem to care.

I shudder to think that some of these people have children, and that others ever might. For some of these people to have children, and behave the way they do, worries me about what interactions my child has with anyone's children. Yes, we are all adults here. I understand that as adults, we have the right to do many things that children are not. The problem I have is, why would you want to?

Do you really want your child to be online, doing reasearch for a school project or something, and some across your sexually suggestive profiles? Even more frightening, would you want your child to be online doing that and you get a sexually suggestive or pornographic instant message...and your child see this? What if it includes nude photos?

Just something to think about...
