Seems like Myspace is slowly becoming "in leiu" of personal greeting.

What makes you say that? I don't see any evidence that people are seeing each other in person any less frequently...


Kind of like Scientology? hypocrite.

What the hell does this have to do with Scientology? Myspace is a site where people meet and talk to one another. Scientology is a bunch of bullshit a science fiction writer made up, claimed had all kinds of magical effects, and made people pay to get involved in.

But oh yeah, I don't believe that some science fiction writer figured out the secret of the human mind just by making up a bunch of stuff, but I do think that it's okay to meet people on a website, I must be a HUGE hypocrite.

And how does Myspace really improve ones life?

Well, I never actually said that Myspace improves ones life, but I think that a new way to meet more people is a good thing.

No, not at all, because when you don a certain "image", an idea of what you deem yourself to be, you are openning yourself up to interpretation.

And this makes sense how?

People do dress in certain ways to convey certain messages, but that doesn't mean that everyone who dresses a certain way is exactly the same.

By that logic, it's perfectly fair to say that every single person who showers, shaves, gets haircuts, wears pants, is a complete idiot. They're obviously making an effort to present themselves a certain way, right? So that makes it's fair to hate them down to the core.

Deciding you're superior to shy people and calling them the "dregs" of society, and "soulless" is your personal taste"?

That just sounds like being an asshole to me.

How familiar with Myspace are you anyways? Did you register an account and spend some time tracking down local communities? Or did you just see a couple kids pages, hear a news report or two, and decide that it's replacing social interaction and must be evil?

I am referring to Myspacers greeting other people.... The first question is usually asking your name, and then what your mysace account is, and if you have none, the conversation turns to how you need to get one, and that is the end of it. Like you need to have a myspace account to interact with the person.

Try to apply what you just said about tolerance of all kinds of people, and how if something is joyful and good for someone, why hate on it? thats why you are a hypocrite..... is that not making a connection for you at all? see the relation?

I never used the word hate. I dont hate anyone really, its too much effort. Ridicule however is fun. Yes, by creating your image, you are asking people to interpret who you are by a first impression. I dont know how to say it anymore simple. outside of hygiene it is fluff, personal aesthetics, which is superflous and not needed for survival or human interaction.
basically, outside of utilitarian things, it is personal image projection, and is therefor asking to be judged.

Right! i am an asshole, I just cant find the certain style which can show that to people. I cant figure out which converse shoes and t-shirt convey that message to everyone.

Why do you insist on claiming I said things I didnt. i never said I was superior.

No, I have never actually been on Myspace. Couldnt even tell you what it looks like. But I run sound at many venues and at a couple of places, there is a Myspace night, where I run sound for 4-5 bands a night who are all Myspace kids, and the house is packed with all their Myspace "friends".
So, I do have reality and reference on this subject.

i like myspace... because it's an easy and accessible way to communicate with friends or people that i know. about 80% of my friends have a myspace (sad statistics, i know), so if i need to talk to them or somebody else, it's right there. plus, easy way to meet new people in the area if you're into expanding your friends.

just love to keep in contact with the people, y`know. :smile:

what is wrong with an IM, the phone, email or carrier pigeon?

The improved communication argument for Myspace is null and void, there are plenty of other avenues of communication available to us in this communication era.

If that is the only reason one is to use Myspace, then it is more useless and ridiculous than previously thought.

You can't use those things to meet new people, nobody has said that it's only use is to chat with others. The whole advantage is that it's more than that.

If your entire experience with the site is with the kind of kids who would show up at a "Myspace night" at a local bar, then obviously you know very little about the site.

Yet here you are blathering on about how terrible it is, and you've NEVER EVEN VISITED IT.

Ive never been in the womans restroom but I have a pretty good idea of what goes on in there and how women urinate and take a shit since I have had personal experience with the genetalia and actions/words of women.

make sense?

btw, atleast half of the people pro-myspace here have said it was primarily used to talk or keep in touch with people... not meet new people.
Frankly I wouldnt want to meet any of the people I have met whom are on myspace... so what would be the point of me going on there?

if its your bag, cool... im not here to change opinion, its my bag to personally ridicule people who are the stereotypical myspace frequenter.

hehe, wow how to put my philosophy into flesh...one sec...ok, i'll try

For sake of clarification, I do not think myspace users are inferior nor do I hate them, I find myself confused by the whole thing, even after spending hours on it myself. I mean, it makes perfect sense, find people in your community and "know" them before you meet them...this, from my very subjective point of view, is stupid and pointless.

When I want to meet new people, I get their attention, in the "real" world. Sometimes it is fun to go to a party with my torch and fuel, gate-crash (completely sober of course) and then wow the angry mobs with a fire-breathing session, grab a bunch of numbers, make some coffee dates, and look for the next party. Sometimes I like to go out with friends talk to everybody we pass. I mean, honestly it's not that hard to do.

And no, I wasn't always a social creature, I grew up a liberal in rural kansas, not the best for social interactions. What scares me, is where I would be if I relied on myspace for my "networking", I would be ashamed, that I attract people with my typing, rather than excercising my oratory skills.

But then again, all subjective.

The beauty of this thread was, first, its simplicity, "who else hates myspace?" But alas, those who support myspace  could not refrain from critiquing the ones doing the critiquing. I find this thoroughly amusing and a quite interesting cross section of social interactions, if by social I only refer to this internet forum as a diverse society that makes social interactions with the knowledge that we all share an appeal, this forum. So, by applying that logic, everyone that likes to use myspace is fundementally similar, they all like to use myspace, not saying they are all emo or hipsters or goths or college kids with spare time *looks in mirror*, but just that this single thread holds them all together seperates, in essence, me from them.

So, the phonebook metaphor proven invalid, not everyone wants to be in a phonebok, they just are. A phonebook, being a contact index, does not serve as a social outlet.

And alas, my sorrow at not only visiting myspace, but *gasp* having a page (now deleted). I do not like to proclaim uninformed beliefs, because in essence I am an idiot, I take all my knowledge only after it has been processed by my most basic and for the time, unchangeable emotions.

Ahh, another great point just hit me like a divine brick to the groin.

I never said "who else hates myspace users?" me thinks a more appropriate quote would follow along "who else hates myspace?" subtle difference between the two being the word users, maybe other people tossed in a good emo joke or two, but thats all in good humour.

And myspaces whole advantage is that "it's more than that". To me that makes myspace unapealling as well. One can socialize quite well with a basic chat program or forum, but taking it beyond that, to encompass "all aspects" of social life for the internet savy user worries me.

Why just myspace?

Why do so many people feel myspace is the most appropriate form of communication there is on this beautiful electronic realm.

And again, before someone tries to argue petty word usage, not EVERYONE is like that, there are shroomery users with myspace accounts and whatnot, but there is also a vast amount of people, out of that 60 million, that probably use the internet solely for myspace or derivations from said dependent community.

Ahh...well, I'm sure I wasn't nit-picky enough and will see someone quote this subjective speech and point out its inherent flaws (subjective to the quoter of course) in a wonderful cycle that makes this thread so damned interesting.  :laugh:

But do you feel that you're now able to judge and feel superior to all those that use the women's restroom?

Myspace is not exactly the same as a restroom. Meeting a few people who show up at a Myspace concert only exposes you to a fraction of the site's users.

Yes, one of its main uses is to talk and keep in touch with people. Same as with these message boards. It's also to help you meet people with similar interests, local people, discuss things. Myspace is many, many times larger than the Shroomery, and I think it would be pretty retarded to generalize about Shroomery users, so it's even dumber to generalize about Myspace users.

But I know how much you love to feel superior and to judge people for meaningless reasons, so go ahead, whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

why do you keep insisting on putting words in my mouth? I never once said I feel superior.

a few people? Im talking about 300-400 people a night, all from Myspace... multiple times, over multiple genres of music.

I know how you love to avoid the point of an argument and attempt to put words in other peoples mouth to serve your argument, so go ahead, whatever makes you feel smarter about yourself.

I never once said I was superior to anyone. Come back when you have stronger points and an argument.
