I see a lot of talk about ad ridden sites and having issues with websites making money off of everyones content…

Even though I do not support big media or big corporations the reality of the matter is if it were not for this money being generated then you would have no place to upload your content without paying for it to be hosted on your own website which is where it should be anyway IMO and you give it’s address to your friends to keep in touch.

If you want free I am sorry but there is just no such thing. Even open source is not free. It is free only to use and that is typically where the line is drawn with open source. This has nothing at all to do with Open Source anyway other than the fact that the code running sites like myspace is proprietary but heck so are the blue prints to a 747 and we don’t gripe about that. Their code is their intellectual property and they have the right to not give away their source.

Aside from that the main reason these sites don’t offer you an option to download all your media is because that would cost them in bandwidth. I am more than certain that if you offered them enough money to cover the bandwidth cost and a little something for their hassle they would offer a means to download it all at once.

If you want your content downloaded that bad though just remember it is publicly accessible so just right click your images and select “save as”.

though I in no way, shape, or form support any type of racism we should still allow free speech. It is not the speech that we like that needs protecting but that which we do not like.

Fox news already tried to pull themselves off as being a fair and balance legit news organization, but slowly people started realizing they were brainwashing the american people to be anti liberal, anti dem, anti clinton etc etc… get the picture? It scares me that they now own Myspace. All they have to do is put up some bad pictures of Obama and some good ones of Jeb and we’ll have another Bush in the whitehouse in a few years. The best is when they try to be sneaky and ask a question, like, ‘Does Obama lack experience?’ — instead of coming out and saying it… Yes, Myspace is owned by slimeballs. FOX news has proved that already. Rupert Murdoch. Slanted news is unethical.

Facebook is even worse.
They save all of your information and can use it for anything.

Hey come on Rampage, play the white man.

LOL

Only kidding!

No seriously, this site is fairly liberal and open minded I find.

Often some of the stuff sounds totally bizarre until you start to look into it.

I for example am keen on Anti political correctness. Sometimes I do go too far and become banned, but I can honestly say that the house rules are about spot on.

If you’re unable to follow basic rules like:

No racism or anything that can be perceived as racism.
Never allow debates to become personal.
Treat all members with respect.

Then yes, please do find somewhere else to post. Cheers

What?

Wait a minute… This page has “posting guidelines.”

I’ll go post where I’m completely and totally free, without guidelines.

Thing is, if all the freethinkers and alternative types abandon MySpace (and Facebook), that will leave those sites to the tender mercies of the right-wingers with nobody to call them on their b.s. propaganda.

Isn’t it better to be a voice in the wilderness, speaking the truth, than to be totally unsullied but have no one hearing you?
