Admit it...do you stalk people on MySpace, Facebook, etc.? I'm totally guilty of it and I want to quit!!! But it's too tempting!!!!!

aloha · 08-22-2007, 04:15 PM

of course I´m not!

I never look at myspace

Mónica · 08-22-2007, 04:17 PM

I have myspace, and yeah, I used to be online there a lot. I was looking for new friends, to KEEP in touch, not to increase my number of so-called friends. I gave it up. Now, I barely use myspace.
And no, I dunnot stalk other people there.

How can being online, stalking? I thought you'd have to do that in person

Blackmask · 08-22-2007, 08:39 PM

Cyberstalking Bill, come on get with the times. Threatening messages, sending spam emails, abusive websites. Modern technology opens up all kind of new creepy alternatives.

**MissyO** · 08-22-2007, 09:10 PM

Hmmm......... Let me see. HELL NO.

That's just downright creepy.

**Val** · 08-22-2007, 09:32 PM

There's no way people!

Here in Brazil I have Orkut. It looks like myspace but if you wanna find some friends or relatives, you must look for them. Then, in one or another case you see other people there.

Oh yea! You'd be shocked to know how easy it is to obtain personnal information on just about anyone.

farsighted · 08-23-2007, 11:32 AM

lol, I don't mean I'm a hardcore stalker, I just love looking at other people's profiles...people that I haven't talked to since high school, ex boyfriends/ex girlfriends of my friends...I don't send them messages or anything, I mostly just look at their photos. Don't worry, I'm not a crazy person!

You'd be no fun to cyberstalk at all.

Well, go ahead for a while. I could use the attention

Moshe.. · 08-27-2007, 12:07 PM

I'm terrified of these networking sites because in england we apparently get stalked on them by our universities and employers!http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19813092/

aloha · 08-27-2007, 12:12 PM

isn´t it that you get stalked a lot in England? they once showed it on TV here that in the big cities there are cameras all over the place, so you can´t hide

gosh, I would never go there

Moshe.. · 08-27-2007, 12:36 PM

The surveillance is because we're worried about terrorists and hooligans - I think it's harmless so long as you behave yourself!

aloha · 08-27-2007, 12:47 PM

but I wouldn´t feel comfortable, knowing that I got stalked

**MissyO** · 08-27-2007, 07:49 PM

But surely you'd feel more comfortable knowing that the thugs were being stalked?

I know I'm all for it.

CCTV is a great idea. And they're watching on public grounds, not in your homes. A lot of people, especially in the US, give this ridiculous argument that "Big Brother" will be watching. Well, who the hell cares? If you're out and about in public and not doing anything unlawful, why should you care? People see you on the street.

Don't want to be seen? Wanna hide under a burqa?
