• Are pedophiles people too??

  i’m really surprised the MEologian didn’t start one of his smarmy posts with that insipid titles

  

  Contrary to what all you “featured” groupies think, The Theologian’s Cafe never had an original thought since its inception…but like Dr Phil, he has a firm grasp of the obvious, and instead of having an honest intellectual debate on breaking issues, everyone pontificates on straight up regurgitated bullshit…thus speaketh the “new” Xanga

  John Crudele, probably the greatest business writer on the planet, BROKE THIS STORY TODAY in the New York Post:

  Facebook is refusing to take down a page on its website dedicated to pedophilia.

  At the top of the page is a close-up shot of a very young girl walking alone down an alleyway. In the distant background is a blurry picture of a man with an open trench coat. His hands are in his pockets.

  Under the picture are the words: “Pedophiles are people too.” In smaller letters is: “It’s all in the title.” The person who created this page on Aug. 14 doesn’t appear to have included any text, and there are no suggestive pictures of either children or grown-ups.

  MY stock guru Crudele goes on to say:

   

  The company is known for having strict rules to control its users. But social networking is the Wild West of computing, and it’s difficult for any company to monitor what all its members are doing.

  Still, you would expect Facebook to react more diligently to a posting that declares “pedophiles are people too,” especially when it encourages comments like: “What’s better then [sic] f–king a 9-year-old.”

  To that, one viewer of the page wrote: “You sick POS where do you live, your [sic] f–cking lucky I don’t know cause I believe all pedophiles need to f–king DIE . . . Give me your address.”

  Violence and threats, bullying, harassment, hate speech, graphic content? Why doesn’t Facebook shut this page down? Why is a public company allowing this sort of trash?

  And why would investors already learning to dislike Facebook put up with this?

  RE: Why doesn’t Facebook shut this page down?  Maybe because Facebook has a rich history of ignoring its users privacy settings, and maybe they’re trying to show they got some integrity like Twitter…and although i could be wrong–i think most people would rather have a beer with Charles Manson than Jeffrey Dahmer

   

  And forget the investors…when THIS STORY breaks big by the end of the week…is folks on Facebook gonna discover Xanga???
