Fake tagging
Suddenly not so fun. Or is it? I mean, I bet my friends are all having a good laugh about it right now. No harm done.
But is that always the case? Can you go too far? Is fake tagging a rudie/nudie pic automatically crossing the line? Or does it depend on the intention of the tagger?

seems a little selfish to enforce the previous generations views on the youth. to add it appears narrow minded and disrespectful to restrict what most use as a valid form of communication through networking sites. what this looks like is laziness with a hint of xenophobia to the viral generation... getting rid a growing social component rather than learning to understand it. why do people seem hell bent on moving backwards in a developing world? people interact with family when there are some sort of similarities to base a connection on. families want to be brought together, form a balance between the wants of the teenagers and the wants of the parents, not inflicting one generations views on the other. that is was leads to hostility and a lack of interaction
These things are not constant but ever changing, as are we.
You need to be able to evaluate whether you emotive response to something is balanced and sound.
It's just words on a screem, anyone who can't deal with that needs to seek real help.
I think this person has raised an even more important issue. The continuation and accessibility of porn on the internet.
If we start hurting the feelings of our beloved porn stars who will we turn to, to act out our most wildest and ridiculous fantasies?
There's always a bigger picture.
Peace.
Thanx!
Well on my boyfriend and my 9 months annaversery, he just all of a sudden broke up with me for another girl. I didn't know about this until one of the girls' friends told me. He sent her dirty messages behind my back while still being with me?
he now wants me back, should i forgive him????

Did I cross the line?
That crosses the line for me.
This is nothing but small and hardly important compared to some thing.
It didn't take you people running this site to run out of semi decent ideas.
At first i didn't agree with all these people saying it's a waste of tax payers money, i think it's a great idea to help people and for people to have an opinion. But this topic is just ridiculous, hence my comment being the 14th- it's not even worth commenting on.
Seriously think bigger and better or find and pay someone who can.
just like "last week" (even though it has been a month since any new discussion has been poster), this is not an issue plaguing the relationships of the youth. it's a picture with a fake-tag. it amounts to the same thing as drawing a mustache or a black eye on a copy of someones photo. as sage said "actions have consequences - equal and opposite" and it is hard to justify any giant, life-changing or severly detrimental reaction stemming from a fake-tag. the biggest result would be another fakely-tagged photo, how horrible.
as for another comment, from redroseaus, they speak of the photo itself. if the photo were a red rose, then the fake-tag would be alright in everyway. anyone else see a double standard? the outrage isn't at the act itself, but the content. the same with the scenario itself: the person finds the dog's ass fake-tag amusing, but their's of the naked man, not so much. people are selfish and stupid in wanting to only surround themselves with the good aspects of everything in the world because they are either condemning someone else to suffer the bad, or you're wanting good to lose all meaning entirely. not only that, but it's fantasy that will never come true. the human character is not perfect, stop trying to sweep it under the carpet.
people apply too much sensitivity to what they see, read and interact with on the internet. they shouldn't, because it is nothing like the real world. there is no human interaction, no emotion and slowly less and less truth. it's people hidden behind a keyboard choosing to be whatever they want to be: either a coward attempting to cause harm hidden by an alias - or - a masked avenger trying to reveal truthes. in the end, they are just words on a screen... words that can be responded to or ignored, much more easily than physical and social encounters back in the real world.
that's what this website should focus on... but since the start of the election campaign, the aims of this website in helping youths and their relationships have been forgotten, and the content has become less and less meaningful.
This is nothing but small and hardly important compared to some thing.
