fOrUms...

First, let me ask you if you know the website friendster.com

If you dont know it, well, you better research it..but if you do, well listen here, man! I have this thing for you...

I'm not new in friendster. I mean, I've been using this website since last year! And, I can say that I have this experience to be sure that I can navigate this website well. But, this days, I'm not anymore interested in meeting friends, or giving comments to my friends. Bt now, what got my attention in friendster lately is its forums...you know forums, right?? Well, in case you dont know, its a public thing that you can create a topic, and ask other people their suggestions about it and what do they think about it...

At first, I'm really thrilled about what I am seeing in this page..I mean, God! I never knew there are other people who really share the same interests as I am! So, I reply to all the topics that got my attention. But one thing I notice about it, was that the criticism I saw in this page...of course, it's a public thing..so you have a lot of free talk in here...but I think, others got really abusive in this right. They are beginning to tease and destroy another persons image in this thing. I have read one such thing in here that talks about relationship. The girl confessed that her parents disagree with this guy and that her parents are right...that this boy will only hurt her. Then, when I scroll the page down, I see a reply post to this girl saying that she is an idiot, she's stupid, thing like that...and when I have gone to the next page, I see again another reply post to that guy, urging him to tease and criticize the girl more! Gosh, how can they be so insensitive? Don't they think they are ruining the girls privacy? And the girls rights about this thing?

From that time on, I've become more careful in posting in these forums...ok, maybe I'm a bit of a stubborn girl, but posting in forums really is a good thing so I can't stop...I'm afraid that maybe, someone would criticize me...someone would tease me and I dont like that! I dont want to make someone look so low and its me whose causing it! Oh, no, no! I dont like that thing!

So now, always remember that sensitivity is always the thing...you CAN'T practically live without it....(unless you really want to hurt others' feelings? I hope not)
