Heh-heh!

My Ex was! Just ask her!

I just key in on certain things. Been debating in forums for a long time.

I've learned that when young ones come on with this whole "Oh I need help because I 'm so afraid" sort of thing going on - then they are a cop and they are not really here for what we are.

But when the young ones come on for real? It is our responsibility to help them.

Ya see?

Anther cop busted while trying to disrupt honest folks!

I'm pretty sure you're way off base here common. Have another look at the profile and the picture.

For one thing the cops don't masquerade as 17yo kids - they create a 13 or 11 year old character or even younger.

Secondly they post different types of pictures - trying to look innocent and naive.

Some years back I was friends with a guy on the SWAT team and he was involved in the stings sometimes. HE had some fantastic stories to tell!


And why would you want to "bust" a cop trolling for predators and pedophiles? Do you want to protect that type of criminal?

Nice reply.

Look again at the name and the profile.

As for busting them? It is my duty as an American to make sure they don't overstep their bounds. It is also my duty to make them learn to do it better.

And why did you respond so strongly?

Perhaps you were this person?

C'mon dude!

If you are a dude - that is.

Interesting...

What made you consider my reply a "strong" one?? I was simply stating my thoughts and asking some questions.

Now you're insinuating that *I* am somehow involved in this conspiracy you see?

Do you think posting fake profiles on social sites in order to catch pedophiles is "overstepping their bounds"??



You seem to have some interesting viewpoints.

Alright enough w/ the coc fight! Just go ahead and whip them out so we can see which one is bigger!

I see no conspiracy.

I think posting fake profiles is an overstepping of boundaries simply because - as a responsible adult, those of us on these 'social sites' should be able to catch on to the predators.

And nip them right in the bud. Just like the Gal did on the adult thing.

Also, if a parent is doing his/her job instilling morals, monitoring activities, and so on...

Then there would be a whole lot less of this BS going on.

I personally don't need any type of police to monitor my morals.

Perhaps more of us should be the same?

LOL, here it is... (insert good grammar here)

Obviously mine is waaaay bigger.

Do you see those fake/trap profiles as monitoring YOUR morals??

How so??


You're dead-on with the "parents monitoring activities" but that's fodder for another thread. I try not to get into that discussion because it's hard on my blood pressure.

No, I don't see them as trying to monitor MY morals per se.

Though I do see things which disturb me.

Not just on forums, but in all areas of life.

For example: The practice of letting little girls run around with the words "hottie" and "cutie pie" written on the hind ends of their shorts.

That just ain't right!

You know it and I know it.

Then the whole fixation on Britney and Hannah Montana!

Yet Cops patrol the forums because parents let their kids do all these things and then ***** about it when a real predator does take advantage.

Ya see what I'm saying?

It ain't the governments responsibility to do this for you!

It's yours!

Well, either way, she looks about 13 or 14 years old. And the 17 could be a lie as well. Who knows. I don't. I just know that she seems way to young. Even some of her posts read like an early teenager rather than an older teen.

Games that make me bored are no fun at all!

Well she said she was 17 in her profile and I see it's been deactivated now so either she ran away or they pulled the plug on her.



Common don't even get me started on absentee parents or government trying to micromanage things. Remember my blood pressure.


Besides... we've kind of hijacked this thread ya know?




What the heck was the original question again??

Absolutely!

Sorry Brother!

This thread was high-jacked for the reason that she was too young to be here.

And I'll do that every time I see one.

I have to agree. There will always be predators, but I think it just makes the issue worse when the fashion is to let preteens and early teens run around wearing clothing that looks more appropriate on prostitutes. And clothing with words on the ass or boobs just makes me wanna scream. Parents need to help kids develop a sense of appropriateness. Not encourage them to become little Brittney Spears. I don't include older teens because they may have their own jobs, buying their own clothes with their own money. In if parents had done their job earlier, they make good choices. If the partents didn't, these young adults are in for a harder time of growing up.

I know, it sounds odd coming from someone who looks like me. But the thing is, when you wait until you are a little older to cut loose and go wild, you can do it with a lot more knowledge on how to avoid various dangers and pitfalls and it is far more safer. That's why I love the one lady's screen name, Wildside of35. It is true. Living on the wild side when older is so much more fun in some ways.

The original thread was "ware the ladies" and really, doesn't this still fit, even if it wasn't intended.
