Can anybody suggest an ONLINE COMMUNITY for me?

Anything with avatars and forums is great.

Can anybody suggest an ONLINE COMMUNITY for me?
MindSay (www.mindsay.com) is a great online community that not too many people know about yet. It's super easy to create profiles and blogs, and find other people with similar interests or in your area. I've been using it for more than two years and met lots of great people on there. Also, they just added a forum which seems to be pretty popular so far.

Is there an online community for children?

you know how adults and teens have myspace, is there somewhere for my son to meet other children his age. he's 8 years old. it would be cool to know that there is another way to communicate with other kids i.e. classmates, without tying up my phonelines. lol

Yes, actually. My son (also 8) loves Club Penguin:

Is there another online community like imeem?

I have used project playlist and it is horrible..half the time the songs dont work.


The best website is imeem but now the songs are going to 30 seconds. I loved listening to my playlist at work.. I am more of an early 70s/80s old school/classic r%26amp;b type fan.


Also, dont tell me about uploading or downloading my own music. I just want a playlist to listen to which would equal listening to the radio.


Thanks :)

Is there any online community groups that talk about astral projection & what are your thoughts on the matter?

Visit http://www.gnosticweb.com/index.php?Page... and register for a free course on Astral Projection. You can communicate with other members on the forum and exchange information about your Astral Projection experience.





Astral Projection is a real phenomenon where your astral body leaves your physical body to go on to the Astral Plane (one of the planes of the fifth dimension, Eternity) to receive teachings for your spiritual development and view your spiritual progress.

Started up an online community called www.fruendspot.com.. do you think many people will join?

Its a really nice website but how can I promote it?

Started up an online community called www.fruendspot.com.. do you think many people will join?
You need to offer something thats COMPLETLY new and different than all those other online community websites, myspace, bebo, facebook ect. If you dont have something big that they dont have then its not likely that your going to succeed.





You can promote it either on the web, or in 'real life' or both. Depending on your budget or how much money your willing to pay to promote it. I, personally would start off using the internet, seeing as though its an internet service, they're are plenty of free 'advetise here' websites that could get you more popular. However, before wasting your money on advertising, I would sort out the actual site, to be brutally honest, its not at all apealling and you really need to sort out who your target audience is, from the way your site looks now, I cant see it being much of a sucess.





Good luck.
Reply:If it is free people will join. Do like what you did here, go to all free sites and advertise your site.





Good luck.

Afraid to join online community?

I'm afraid to join myspace, myyearbook of facebook ,because lots of ppl in my school are there and I don't get along with them. Plus, it is kind of embarrasing for me if they come upon my profile and see that I have no friends, making me look desperate...I know it sounds stupid....what should I do then?

Afraid to join online community?
on facebook you can set your privacy settings so that no one, not even your friends, can see your other friends or your wall. If you hide your wall, no one will be able to post on it, so it will stay empty, but if you're embarrassed it might help at least until you get some friends :)


Good luck!
Reply:Don't feel afraid. Make it easy. Join ORKUT. It is the best. Take ambigous nickname.
Reply:if thats how u feel, then there's nothing you can do. A time will come though when you'll realize that it really doesnt matter what other people think of you. just put yourself out there, and if no one likes you for who you are...tough. they're the ones missing out. You shouldnt join one of these until your comfortable with who you are. hope that helps





take care
Reply:Don't be ^_^ If you're too embarrassed to join but still interested, you can try use a nickname first and then when you're comfy enough, reveal yourself little by little. It takes time to enjoy the stuff. If you want to join an online community with a difference, try sign up an account on www.gaiaonline.com.
Reply:just set your profile to private so it can only be seen by people who you accept as your friends!! you can do that on both myspace and facebook now.





and its not about how many friends you have. people who treat those sites like a stupid popularity contest are losers and probably dont even have one real close friend, just a bunch of aquaintances to make them feel 'cooler' And that just makes THEM look desperate..
Reply:You don't have to join anything, if it makes you uncomfortable. If you wanted, you could make a myspace page and set it as private, so that only the people you wanted to see it could. You could also make a really awesome page and then the people from your school would start wanting to know how you did it.





Don't worry about not getting along with people at school. Kids are very judgemental and scared of anyone who's smarter or a little different than they are. When you're in school, you're judged by what you look like and how much you act like your classmates. When you graduate and enter the real world, your differences are what make you a fascinating friend for people...imagine how boring the world would be if everyone really was exactly alike. Another thing about school...fitting in seems like a huge deal, but a year or two after you've gotten out, you'll be lucky if you can remember the names of more than 20 people at the school...right now they're your whole world but they won't matter much at all once you don't see them every day.

What is a Virtual Community or an Online Community and how do they work? What topics do they cover?

Any important sites? What systems do you need to run these? Are there any websites that demonstrate this?

What is a Virtual Community or an Online Community and how do they work? What topics do they cover?
In general, there are four frameworks for online facilitation:





Understanding of group facilitation as it occurs face to face and online.


Knowledgeable about design. Ideally, they are involved in the conceptualization, design and implementation of the online space to ensure that group member needs are accounted for. They participate in pre-assessment and planning.


Grounded in the group's purpose with full understanding. They can convey it clearly to group members.


Prepared with tools and processes.





Facilitators use their group facilitation skills to enable the group to meet it's goals. This involves a group of processes which include:





Entry and engagement processes which help members become active participants


Supporting sociability, relationship and trust building


Constructing, adapting and modeling norms, agreements and accountability


Support discussion and dialog (foster communication)


Support divergent, convergent and task-oriented group processes (help get work done)


Anticipate and work with conflict and abrasion to both allow emergence of new ideas and protect people from harassment


Work with full understanding of diversity in learning style, culture and personal styles


Understand and make visible group participation cycles and "rituals" in the online environment.


Summarize, harvest, weave and support appropriate content and connections


Provide basic help as needed with the tools


Ensure the space is kept "tidy" and navigable.

What is online community?

definitions, criteria

What is online community?
A virtual community or online community is a group of people that primarily or initially communicate or interact via the Internet, rather than face to face. Online communities have also become a supplemental form of communication between people who know each other in real life. A "Computer-mediated community" (CMC) uses social software to regulate the activities of participants. An online community such as one responsible for collaboratively producing open source software is sometimes called a development community. Significant socio-technical change has resulted from the proliferation of Internet-based social networks

Online Gaming community? Rude?

Hello. I'm not talking about WoW or runescape communities, but runescape has it's own problems. I'm talking about online gaming communities on console games. A lot of the games I play online using a headset I often get bashed because of my age. I'm 14, And i don't try to make myself sound older when i talk like many do, i just use my normal voice. As you may know, most of gamers are over 20. Often, when encountering someone young like myself they feel the need to insult you and not take you seriously. I often find myself taking off my headset because sometimes if I talk just once everybody there starts insulting me. Why just today, i was playing socom and I was killed by a sniper. I said "ahh crap i died." and instantly someone who I assumed to be in his 40s started saying things like. "You f..king kid get out of here." And "what are you 12?" I was pleased to see the guy get killed by the same sniper,

Online Gaming community? Rude?
Ya this is one of the problems with on-line gaming right now. There is a huge range in gamers age and it can make younger players seem annoying to older players.I'm 19 and when I do play on xboxlive I try to play fair with everyone.I only yell at people when there no good or rude.If this is a big problem for you I suggest making rooms and inviting players around your age or who you know are friendly.
Reply:Mike, I answered your other question yesterday. I saw today that you had added a remark about another question. So I looked this one up.


I just want to let you know this... it has nothing to do with being an adult or a child. Whether you're playing online or on a console at home. There will always be people that are mean and rude while playing games. They aren't just sore losers... they are sore winners too.


Unfortunately, my 12 year old daughter is one of them. We will be playing games on our Game Cube at home as a family and she will get so involved in the game to where she gets mean and out of control. We're talking games from James Bond to Mario Party. It doesn't matter if she's winning or losing. I've stood up and left the room and/or turned off the game before because she gets so bad. Before we start playing, I always need to warn her that if she starts to get out of hand... the game goes off. Then during the games I will need to remind her several times too. The only time she can control herself is if she's playing by herself without any competition. She's a good, sweet girl that still likes princesses, Barbies, and other girl stuff. But when it involves games and competition... something wicked comes out in her.


You're still young and you probably haven't been exposed to playing games at home with a large variety of people. Playing games online does. So you are now getting to experience the way people can be while playing games. It's not going to end with video games either Mike. When you get into High School you're going to find out that it's the same way with playing sports.


It's competition Mike... it will bring out the worst in some people.
Reply:There will always have rude players in any kind of online gaming community. Wether it's on PC or on a console. I play Halo 2 online on my Xbox and believe me, there are a lot of players who don't take the game seriously. Team killers and/or players who just say crap to ya and team kill ya without no apparent reason. I'm a pro type gamer and sometimes I do that but not too often, not all the time. I let my weapon do the talking rather than speaking into my headset and say crap to other players. It's pointless for voice chatting. Sometimes it helps to communicate your team mate in the heat of the battle. I'm talking about those who want to play for real, play for fun, actually play the game and want to win the game. Those who just screw around and don't give a damn are in still in the immature zone. I know I said that I do it too but I do said I don't do it very often and not all the time. I don't use the headset anymore, I just silently play. Also those players playing their music on the headset are so dumb. Voice chat isn't meant to play your favorite music, it's meant to communicate other players online, duh. I'm 19 years old but no matter what age, the one who acts like an idiot IS literally an idiot.
Reply:Don't take it personal. Many gamers are rude, but some(like myself) try not to xD.





But seriously, some people are just like that, some people just have problems.
Reply:I've played socom since socom 1 man and trust me thats just the way it is. Everyone bashes kids on that game. I don't think its much better other games but I know socom is super scum mainly because it's free. Also it was originally a rated M game so when they dumped it down to T and took out the blood and some other stuff the community blamed the kids on the game. Just don't let it bother you.

Target market: Consumers spending a few hours a week online, not too advanced


Space: Fashion, entertainment


Visual experience is important, ie video, pics


Super easy to manage and participate


Want control over monetization and hosting


Lots of social features, such as content submission, vorting, rating, polls, commenting, reacting to comments, alerts, messaging platform


Distributed, i.e. gadgets/widgets, feeds, easy to integrate anywhere else





Considering i) ning, ii) Kick apps, ... anything else?

But yes India doesn't boast of any specific india related auction site. Please go ahead and do it. It may be very beneficial to all the related people.


Best of luck.

Is there a website where you can publish your storys for the online community to read?

like a magazine except online. i dont want some homemade website or somthing i was lookin for "professional" website? know of anything like that?

Is there a website where you can publish your storys for the online community to read?
Quite honestly, it is a very bad idea. The internet is a virtual smorgasbord for plagiarists. True, you own the material, but try proving it and paying for lawyers in a court of law. Also, if you read the fine print at some of these sites, they have the rights to anything published on their site. I learned that one the hard way. Lastly, if you intend to publish this material at any time, you will find that more and more publishers will simply NOT handle material previously posted on the internet. It is just too much of a hassle making sure they have exclusive rights and too expensive for them to waste their legal dept to untangle the messes. So they just wont even read anything posted online. I took my website down long ago and refuse to post anything here despite many requests. It's just not in your best interest to post online anymore. Pax - C

You don't necessarily need to use software. Most of those sites will run off HTML, which is really easy to learn. A helpful site would be www.funky-chickens.com.

Orthopedic shoes for clubfoot infants...is there an online community?

My child has club foot and we have this special metal brace with shoes attached for my child and I was wondering if there was some place online where parents trade shoes or sell them for lesser money than retail....my child has outgrown his and I'd gladly trade/sell his old shoes for ones that are his size now....if there is a site that does offers this beacuse the shoes cost over 100 dollars and i know he will keep outgrowing them and I'll keep having to get newer ones later on.





So does anyone know of a site or anything similar that might help.....thanks in advance

Orthopedic shoes for clubfoot infants...is there an online community?
You might want to check with the Stride Rite company. They may have sales and even if they do not or do not have what you need I bet them would have information on communities such as the one you are seeking.
Reply:My niece had a clubfoot as a toddler and she was fitted with shoes through Shriners. Maybe if you contact them, they would probably be more than happy to let you know if there something you can do and maybe trade as I'm sure they are expensive for them too.

How do i go about setting up an online community webisite and what is best to use?
Well...MySpace already exists for that (to my constant annoyance), but making your own involves several web programming languages (such as PHP and MySQL) and (of course) HTML. You also need a web host and a SQL database.


There's a reason things like this aren't simple downloads, they take customization and integration that is too much to be widely distributed.


Recommendations:


Use godaddy.com for web hosting.


godaddy should also have SQL databases.


w3schools.com will teach you how to program the site.

How to calculate the value of an online community???

In Web 2.0 many internet sites are Community based. Is there a rule of thumb for calculating the price of an internet site based on its amount of registered users?

How to calculate the value of an online community???
To have a good base of registered users is a good start but the main way of judging a websites worth is the traffic it gets. Unique hits and page view hits is what makes the difference. Having allot of refers to your site from other web pages also increases the value of your site. Having a actual Alexa Ranking is also a plus sorta separates the want to Be's from the real deals. Last but not least how you place on the search engines is extremely important. So to answer your question if you have a site that gets 10,000 unique hits @ month that you can document, your chances of getting a good price are great.


Would you volunteer to help a new online community about migraines?

A new web site is looking for volunteer health information reviewers to share their opinions on the best information on the web about migraines. We feel that reliable information is hard to come by quickly and easily and are organizing information on migraines to better help people find the information they need.





We need help from people with knowledge abor experience with migraines to look over the content our experts have found (migraine symptoms, migraine treatments, related migraine conditions, etc) and tell us which links are most useful to you, and what you think will help others. It won’t take much time to be a volunteer – you can do as much or as little as you want to, and you will help many other people like yourself by sharing your opinion. Also, by volunteering you will get to see the best and most current research that health experts have found online about migraines. Please visit our web site to learn more or to volunteer. http://www.movinghealth.com Thanks so much

Would you volunteer to help a new online community about migraines?
As a person who suffers from the terrible pain of migraines would assist with the on-line community volunteer. Unfortunately I am returning to Iraq in 3 weeks and my time and access to the Internet will


be limited due to my duties over there. As to seeking other to volunteer....you can always post your request on Migraine Support Group bulletin boards on the net, contact local hospitals, pain clinics and the offices of doctors who deal with migraines.....such as neurologists.





Good luck.

Ever felt like you hate the online community?

Sometimes it just seems hard to find anyone who isn't rude angry whiny or just plain unpleasant. Why is it so many of these kind of people are online. Is it because they find solace in the internet because they aren't embraced in the same way in real life. Even know i kind of feel kind of like that now I wouldn't complain this way in real life. Maybe it's just a way to blow off steam. Whats your opinion?

For this you first need a host.. someone to host the site for you. (e.g. Geocities, MSN, etc).





From there, you need to select a website package; how much room, options on a template, etc.





Then, you need someone that knows HTML to write out codes for you to create forum boards or however you want it displayed.

If one of you hard-core gamers would help me out,I will really appreciate it.


Thank you

Is the WoW/Guild Wars online community a friendly lot?
I didn't find WoW gamers to be very friendly. I played it before I played Guild Wars. I've found the Guild Wars community a lot more friendly than I did WoW. Also, you don't have a monthly fee to play Guild wars like you do with WoW. ($180 per year!)





I'm also somewhat of a "senior gamer" as I'm in my 40's.





Hope to see you in Guild Wars!

Sponsors / Investors for Online Community.?

I am in the beginning phases of developing a community geared toward a specific demographic of people. I am a web designer and I'm creating this personally. Does anybody know if it would even be a good idea to look for investors or contact companies to sponsor the website before it takes off so that I can gain initial funds to focus on the website? Perhaps what I'm asking is if I'm just wasting my time contacting these companies or if it's a good idea? Thanks in advance.

Sponsors / Investors for Online Community.?
You are wasting your time if you don't have a good business plan that will convince investors or sponsors that your idea is feasible and will provide a good return on the investment.





You may be more successful attracting sponsor or investors if you first develop the web site and see how well it does. If you can show them that the site is successful and does what you hoped, you may be able to attract sponsors and investors more easily. The fact that you made a personal investment, consisting of developing the site and putting it into operation, makes the prospect of investing or sponsoring more attractive.

Afraid of the online community?
Change your nick name,go to your profile and if you have him as a friend or a fan,change your settings so you wont accept anyone to be your friend and that way he wont find your profile ever again.
Reply:Yes set your profile to privite
Reply:Facebook has settings where you can allow just friends on your list to view your page. When you log into facebook you will see an option in the right hand top corner called "privacy" click that and you can adjust your settings the way you want. If you friend is on your list he will see your profile anyways!

Cost to Start Online Community Site?

Hi.I'm a brand manager for an automobile accessories company in India. We are planning to launch a community site related with automobile accessories and more. Can any one help me out how to approach. How much it will cost. I am in India now. If you have a better Idea then you may mail it to me in the following mail id: pratapk21@gmail.com, pratap.pattanayak@gmail.com. If any of you has previous knowledge in building a community site, I will be happy to meet them.

Cost to Start Online Community Site?
If you are willing to work at it, you could do this for free (excluding the cost of working hours and possibly a domain name, but neither of those are essential).





I do not have time to expand fully on this right now, but there are lots of good (free) web hosting packages around on the web.





Unless you want to spend money on a website designer etc or would like to program the site from scatch, the next step would be to look at some form of a Content Management System (CMS) -- take a look around the search engines for one that you like.


The majority of these are aimed at blogs (web-logs), but there are many different templates around so don't give up straight away.








The rest is up to you ...





remember, feel free to message me for further help / advice, but there are many helpful people around here =)
Reply:Online community = phpbb





you need to get a domain and hosting to have a phpbb





it doesnt cost a lot...


Online community/forum for computer programmers?

What are some good online forums for people getting ready to start a career in computer programming?





Thanks!

Online community/forum for computer programmers?
There are scores of different computer programming languages out there on scores of different computer platforms being used in scores of different applications in scores of industries (you do the math for the different combinations)





Each combination has one or more on-line discussion group for people involved there. You need to narrow your focus from "this topic in general" to something specific, such as





Computer Language = COBOL


Data Base platform = ORACLE


Industry = Frozen Foods for Restaurants


Application = e-commerce





Then, when you have specified what it is you know, or want to get better at, then you can focus in on the relevant discussion lists

Online community website?

Business owners:





I am currently starting a website to promote a town in Upstate New York. Here is the idea, the question is.. Would this influence you?





The idea:





10% of all profits from advertising, donations, and fund raisers done by the website would go to a collection that at the end of the year would grow into a substantial amount of money. From there, everyone who donated in some way will get to vote on what type of civic-minded project the money will go to to restore the Village and add new community things.





Would this influence your decision to advertise with the website in a positive way?





(thanks in advance)

Online community website?
rank that site high in search engines people will beg you to advertise on that website! :)





Idea is great and if more people helped each other and communities, we would live in a lot better world!

Does online community boards do really serve the community?

i have read some community boards. boards of different interest and hobbies.





but when the discussions are getting critical, and in my opinion, i read people's ideas and saying a good points, the boards are trying to stop the discussion even if it matters are someones elses important concerns. sometime even life or death.





based on what i am seeing, some other boards are just hang outs and not really helpful.

Does online community boards do really serve the community?
Yes thats true and I agree with you.





Take for examples Yahoo Answers Philippines (YAP), there's only one person that ruined the community this guy named "WELL" he got 4 or 5 clones just to earned points.





From that point of view the essence of serving the community board is gone.


Online community with limited access?

hello everyone,





I need to find an online server that will let me create a website or some sort of online service so that I can post information %26amp; documents to a specific list of individuals. I would also like for those who have access to the website to be able to post articles to the website for me to access.





any suggestions you have would be great!

Online community with limited access?
You can have a forum online would be very easy to set up you can just buy a hosting account and set up a forum... and you will have users on that forum.








you can have a blog they can post information on your articles also its a good idea.


example: www.blogspot.com





and you can make something profestional and if you would like i can give you a script that i already have for users and like questions services and you will need a small design


http://laia.yourwwwdesign.net/ i made this for a friend you can have it if you would like.
Reply:Use phpBB, or else you may contact a web designer at websites like http://getafreelnacer.com/ to set it up for you


Is there a software package available for creating an online web community with chat, forumns and blogs?

Is there a software package available for creating an online web community with chat, forumns and blogs?


I know that there are a ton of companies that produce forums for community websites, however I haven't seen any programs that offer all three. My big concern is buying three products and then having problems with the user names synching up. I'm curious to know, what are the top picks for doing this task. Preferably for under $600. I'd also be interested in any hosted products that do this. Please keep in mind that my knowledge of computer programming only consists of limited VB and using Frontpage.





Thanks for any help you can provide.

Is there a software package available for creating an online web community with chat, forumns and blogs?
There are more and more platforms that include all three. Hosted, you might check out http://www.webcrossing.com - they have all three, though the blog tool is a little different than most blog software.





http://www.learningtimes.org and http://communityzero.com also are two other hosted options.
Reply:well it depends on which programming language you want to use %26amp; which hosting environment you prefer. If you ok with something on .net (VB.NET/C#) then you can take a look at the open source CommunityServer which provides forums, blogs and photos online (not too sure abt the chat feature though). trivia: MSDN (MS Developer Network) blogs also run on CommunityServer. You can also try DotNetNuke, another Open Source app.

What is your favorite online photography community site, and why?

I have been looking for a place online that helps people form local clubs, in the area where they live, as well as share their favorite shooting locations, and any particular details about these locations. So far I have not found one site like that. So, I am wondering whether or not something like it exists. And if not, perhaps I should start building a community driven site that would connect photographers in this manner. Thanks All.

What is your favorite online photography community site, and why?
StudyPhoto.com | its small but has variate of different sections
Reply:i don't know if this answers your question but, i love www.flickr.com





maybe there's a group for your area?
Reply:Flickr is worth looking into. It has social meetings called "Flickr MeetUps" where Flickr photographers and non-Flickr members gather to go photo shooting at a location they planned and scheduled a month ahead. These are usually monthly meetings. These meetings can be local, in the city, what ever place interesting, convenient for everyone to meet in the middle. I think it was a group in New York that even went on a camping trip together! Now that's fun.
Reply:www.nanpa.org I love nature photography!

They are great all kinds of great photographers and they have all kinds of forums including a critique forum

Should we fight the online pedophile community?

To what extent should we hunt (online) and inform on self confessed pedophiles?





If some one posts on a blog





"I am a pedophile but I dont abuse children"





should we give them the benefit of the doubt? This guys arguement is that he is a "pedosexual" he is attracted to children (boys in particular) and that there is nothing wrong with that.





Its when you cross the line (he says) that you commit an actual crime your in the wrong.





Im not trying to sound like the thought police here, but I dont feel comfortable knowing people are in my community that profess to being sexually attracted to children and see that as being OK.





I have challeneged this individual to an open debate in a public arena, such as a FOX/CNN/BBC discussion board.





But what else can we do? Should we (as citizens) take pre-emptive steps to protect our children, or let the guy be free to roam and get aroused by our children?

Should we fight the online pedophile community?
#1. People shouldn't be shot for what they think but for what they do. But even if somone is not actively doing it themselves, they may be promoting atrocities by others.


#2 For someone to come out and say they are a non-practicing pedophile means what?


#3 These guys have an agenda. Child-lovers want their practice to be accepted, so they have learned from the homosexuals how to use the media to promote their ideas. I think they believe if they just keep saying long and loud in the media that their actions are okay and should be acceptable, that people will accept them.


#4 How is pedophila not abuse? Consentual sex can sometimes be damaging (i.e. between teenagers).


#5 There is more to life than sex and the sex drive. Can't we learn to define ourselves based on something more? You know, sometimes I have the influence to kill someone because I am so angry or because of what they have done to me. But I nerver have and never would. Most of us control our bad impulses and are not ruled by them.


#6 We must realize that some have been falsely accused of child sex abuse. So we must be careful to judge too soon, without enough facts.





#7 Having said all that, yes, practicing pedophiles should all be shot or killed in a horrific manner.
Reply:NO! We must make the first move. They only have one illegal move, and once they make it, it is too late. Even though he claims not to abuse children, the fact that this guy doesn't think anything is wrong shows that he's not stable. And a unstable pedophile can attack at anytime. This guy needs help. Good lookin out. If more people were like you we wouldn't have had so many child murders in the last 3 years
Reply:Its absoulutly discusting! Dont people have values or morals? Ah! My parents questions my every move online because of freaks! Did you watch the Tyra Banks Show? If you didnt I would Highly recomend watching this one episode about pedophiles!
Reply:Sounds like he is hunting for other like-minded folks to share pix/stories with.... OR s/he is law enforcement hoping to ensnare pedophiles looking for pix/stories, etc.





I think it never hurts to share your info.
Reply:Well if he keeps it totally to himself then I guess he is just a potential pedophile. If he is attempting to contact children in any way or in a profession which places him in close contact with them and has professed those desires then action must be taken to protect them.
Reply:Pedophiles are scum, but it's got nothing to do with gay people. Why did you choose to post the question in the gay section?
Reply:This is an immensely hard question that continues to plague us and I find difficult but rewarding to discuss. Here are my thoughts on the matter:





1) I hate when people use the excuse that their behavior is due to a disease. First off, pedophilia may very well be a disease, but acting upon your wrong desires is different than merely having them. If it isn't a disease, then these people need to be locked away, because it's something they've done and could do again. If it is a disease that cannot be controlled, they need to be locked away, because it's something they've done and could do again. It's not a punishment thing for me, it's about prevention. I hear people say that you are never cured of pedophilia, which is all the more reason to not keep them around general society.





2) Pedophilia is a valid sexual orientation, in my view. Just like all sexuality, I believe that it is not genetic, but not a 'choice'- your desires do not come from DNA, but they are innate and unconscious. And no sexuality is inherently wrong . . . it's what you do with it that is wrong. Being attracted to children is not wrong, although it makes most people sick (me included). It is having sex with children that is without a doubt morally wrong. The line is simple, but it's the legitimate worry about someone crossing the line that gets everyone in a tizzy.





3) You have to do something wrong to be guilty. Working off my statement that pedophilia as an attraction, not an act, is morally neutral, then the act must be committed in order for the person to have done wrong. Therefore, I am strongly against pre-emption, for pre-emption presumes guilt, rather than the code we try to live by of 'innocent until proven guilty'. If you work off the idea that all pedophilia- attraction or the act- is wrong, then of course, the person will be instantaneously guilty if the person's desires are revealed. But in my mind, only when someone has abused a child are they guilty, and thereafter, they should be locked away as a preventative measure.





I think we need to determine the words 'self-confessed pedophile'- does that mean confessing to the attraction or to having committed the act? If it's the former, we should certainly not hunt them down (online). If it's the latter, by all means, go ahead.





In some ways, I think the Internet is the worst thing and the best thing for pedophiles. On the bad hand, it increases trade in child pornography, encourages pedophiles to act on their desires, and generally gives rise to more of them. But on the other hand, it can be a positive place where individuals can get together to (hopefully) speak rationally about their desires and handling them without acting on them- this would be a good place, for example, writing erotic stories that get the trick done, instant messaging one another taking turns pretending to be young children (rather than sexually soliciting our youth), and sharing the perfectly legal computer-generated pornography that creates the illusion of children engaging in sexual acts. In this way, rather than tamping down the feelings to the point of their moving into action, they are freely expressed and relieved.





I know that it's not nice to think about, but I try to approach it with a calm, rational manner that will protect our children without vilifying those who have, as of yet, done no wrong.
Reply:First off, you're posting this in the LGBT catagory can only be taken that you somehow believe that pedophiles are in anyway associated with homosexuals and vice versa. You couldn't have it more wrong if you tried.


Most pedophiles are straight males, usually people of authority or those who are related to their victims.


Pedophilia has little to nothing to do with adult sexuality at all. Pedophiles don't even take into consideration the gender of their victims. They usually go after what is available to them.


Any adult who suggests that sexual relationships between adults and minors are normal is in need of counseling.





Minors are unable to make emotionally mature descissions, this is why we have laws to protect our children. (Yeah, I said "OUR" children....don't forget gays and lesbians have children too!)


Any adult who claims to be sexually attracted to legal minors are endangering ALL OUR CHILDREN!





No Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgendered organization has EVER backed, associated with or aided NAMBLA (The North American Man/Boy Love AssociationThe North American Man/Boy Love Association) EVER.





No Pride Parade associations allow NAMBLA to march along with other ADULT gays/lesbians.





These are people who are attempting to justify endangerment through misuse of the word "love" and it's consequences.
Reply:There is something wrong with that...they're children.
Reply:This is the incorrect section for your question, it should be in the law section or something.
Reply:We should take such steps as we are allowed. If anyone posts an offensive remark, then report it.


Rose P.
Reply:I'm not really sure about this. Like...maybe if they keep going "grr, that thinking's wrong" then they're just going to suppress it until it comes to a critical mass, and then they'll end up acting on it. Or, maybe the thoughts lead to action no matter what. I'd honestly ask experts before I formed an opinion on the matter. I definitely don't think anything can / should be done if someone says they have the thoughts: the most you can really do is WATCH these people.
Reply:Its a computer, keep your children off of it until they are old enough to understand online predators. You know a computer is alot safer between a child and a pedophile than your back fence.





If you have children at home and you haven't checked your states sex offender list, you had better. You'd be surprised at who lives in your neighborhood.
Reply:Pedophiles should be opposed and informed upon to the proper authorities. A relationship between consenting adults is one thing; an adult believing that preying on children sexually is both natural and acceptable is an abomination.
