Rusty, you're an oddity in maturity. Even guys my age wouldn't be able to handle that.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Yaaaaaaay.

See I wouldn't care if it was between psychologically stable, consenting adults. But as you can see, it usually isn't. The prostitution/child traffiking involved in the adult film industry is a growing growing problem.

wow - those are some interesting facts.

I remember my first chat room experience with friends on AOL. A man PMd me, asked me some nasty questions and then sent me a picture of himself naked...

yes, after a few days a friend suggested I do that. Problem was it kept happening because I had cutesy usernames that indicated I was a young girl. It was traumatizing!!

I love watching Dateline when they catch these guys online by pretending to be kids, and they set up meetings and catch them!

Oh MAN, I saw one of those and it was so creepy.

They caught 18 people in one day, including a teacher, a doctor and a rabbi.

There was one guy that took off all his clothes, waiting for the child in the kitchen when the Dateline crew walked in. Then they managed to get him to meet another 'child' the next day.

and 9 in 10 researchers believe 8-16 year olds when they claim to have "accidentally" stumbled upon porn while doing homework. :P

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Back when I was 16 there was no internet.

</old>

(well, I'm sure it existed, but no-one used it)
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

When I was 13-14, my school had internet only for those deemed 'above average'... anyone in the advanced education class got computer & internet time a few times a week (and it came with special projects to challenge the 'smarties') When I went to high school we had a computer lab but no internet until a few years later.

when you were 11?

even when we got it in 1995 there was no-one else to email and everything was sooooooo slow we had to turn the pictures off if we wanted anything to load in less than a year. Then I went to uni and we didn't even have Windows (I need Joey to reminisce about Pine with)

Woah! We definitely didn't have it over here then.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
