Myspace really is a wonderful thing. It brings groups of people together that would never normally talk or come close to meeting. You get a picture of what people think and do on the other side of the world. You get to interact, build bridges, make “friends,” and my personal favourite - tell the freaks what you think about them!
My virtual journey into Myspace started about a year ago after being told about the site by a friend (a real one) who was promoting his band. At first I was very dubious about the idea and made a mock up character to put up instead of exposing my real self to a huge online community, after all it was just a glorified chatroom which at the time I didn’t want to be associated with. This did eventually change however and I started to embrace the idea more and discovered an interesting side of the site that didn’t contain posey pictures and pornstar chat. This side of Myspace was the groups section. Here I found people with opinions, debate, a place where lots of fun can be had, and plenty of opportunities for vandalism. The first group I signed up for was Hardcore Christians – Living Hardcore, this section of Myspace is filled with the believers and preachers – and is also totally devoid of reason. You may be thinking; why would anyone sign up for this if they aren’t a Christian, or what you might be thinking - a Christian hater? Well I’m neither and really just wanted to go on the group out of pure wonderment and devilry, and as I said earlier, to see what people on the other side of the world think. Well I found out what some crazies think:
Topic: I don’t know weather to be creeped out
Wendie, Manchaca, Texas, F/22
“[Some]one I know did a satanic spells because someone threatened to kill me .Oh and the guy that threatened several other people as well.”
The Caribbean Character, Catersville, Georgia M/37 – replied
“Wendie, if you're a Christian you have nothing to worry about. Even if this guy did "cast a spell", you are a child of t he living God who is a lot more POWERFUL than the god wannabe that he worships.
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
This is one of the more comical topics, others range from; the big creationism evolution debate to the evils of Harry Potter. One thing that most threads had in common was the blind quoting of the scriptures to justify a debate. This really started to annoy me, I could no longer start fun agitating topics such as “God is a lie,” “hell doesn’t sound that bad” or “what constitutes sex, I only did it for a few minutes and she was asleep,” without being shot down with a scripture. Ok, quoting the scriptures probably does have a place when interpreting the bible, but when your talking about voting republic, can you defend rape or hardcore rock it seems pretty irrelevant and even stupid. All that said, people are entitled to live their lives the way they want, but if you quote the book Vandalism 2007:05 “Doth moron that quote the old dead men, shall burn in a pit of eternal stupidity and wander the lands blindly and without reason”
Next on my group hit list “Military guys and the girls that love them,” “The Coalition of Non-Sexual Cuddling,” “Republican Girls Do It Better,” and “Mass Debaters”
You've got to love Myspace really!
