I did say I wasn't going to be drawn on that as I feel I have made my point.

However I am beginning to find your attitude towards how women dress a bit Victorian to say the least. You seem to be implying that women only dress in clothes that could be described as risky or revealing to please men and to bolster their own low self esteem. And if by doing so they attract the unwanted attention of some nutter that its their own fault for doing so. Perhaps they ought to wear full body veils just to be on the safe side eh?

Jesus man, this is the 21st Century. I suggest you share your opinions with the women in your workplace or school and see what they think of them.

If any man tries to pass a bill that so much as suggests that women should change their clothing habits to the aforementioned attire, they will be executed. Probably by my hands.
Preferably by forcing them to wear a veil.
Preferably one covered in napalm and cookies.

Gotta love roasting flesh and cookies, yum yum.

I think suing MySpace is a little ridiculous. How old were these girls? Oh wait, one girl was fifteen... too young to have a MySpace account if I remember the rules right. On top of that, the dude went in the clink for a decade.

The problem here isn't sites that allow pedophilic behaviour, it's parents who allow young ones unrestricted access to the internet. Has anyone taken a look at these girls' MySpace profiles (and found sexually inviting bollocks and a falsified age) yet?

I'm not saying MySpace is a good thing, I still say if you're close enough friends with someone you should just go visit them. But it's not MySpace's fault that some dirty young wenches ended up getting date-raped. After all, it coulda happened through a chatroom, instant messaging, meeting on the street, whatever.
