The Invasion of World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft (or more commonly called "WoW") is taking over lives around the world. A online game made and published by Blizzard Entertainment has massed over 10 million players around the world. Scientists have given the game a addictive quality. The game is so addicted there is a case of a child dying from neglect because her parents were at a Internet cafe playing World of Warcraft. The point of the game is playing a avatar in exploring a immersing world, playing through the levels from 1 to 70. Once at level 70, you begin to getting better quality gear to enable yourself to raid dungeons. These higher grade instances are meant for groups of people playing in real time and supporting each other to reach the end of the raid.

Yet So Dedicated

Words twist and tumble
Through my mind
But I can't grab the right word
Or the right line

So we sit In silence

But it’s not uncomfortable.

In fact I love it

You rest your head on my chest

As we lay here Lovers entwined

Hearts tangled

You raise your headAnd look into my eyes

And I see our love Almost as if it’s a real force

I don’t ever want to lose this moment

You lay your head on my chest once again

And now I can feel your heart beat

And my hearts skips

And I finally find the words I’m looking for

I love you
drum BUM
So Dedicated..
Was going through stuff when i wrote this

HAVE YOU EVER

Have you ever end up somewhere you don't belong
have you ever felt weak and not always strong


Have you ever loved someone so bad
When they're finally gone you feel so sad.


Have you ever get treated different because
of the color of your skin or what you wearing.

1000 pgs

If I had a thousand pages,

I could never name them all,

The reasons that I love you,

For the list would be too tall.

I love you for the melody,

I hear within your voice.

The way your brown eyes hold me,

A captive, but by choice.

I love you for your gentle hands,

That melt away my pain.

I love you for your loving heart,

That made mine beat again.

I love you for your loving smile,

With which my old heart soars.

These are some of the reasons,

Every second beat is yours.

drum bum

What grandparents need to know about Internet safety

Grandparents need to be aware that using Internet communication tools such as chat rooms, e-mail, and instant messaging can put children at potential risk of encountering online predators. The anonymity of the Internet means that trust and intimacy can develop quickly online. Predators take advantage of this anonymity to build online relationships with inexperienced young people. Grandparents can help protect their kids by becoming aware of the risks related to online communication and being involved in their kids' Internet activities. But the question is: How do online predators work?

Predators establish contact with kids through conversations in chat rooms, instant messaging, e-mail, or discussion boards. Many teens use peer support online forums to deal with their problems. Predators often go to these online areas to look for vulnerable victim. Online predators try to gradually seduce their targets through attention, affection, kindness, and even gifts, and often devote considerable time, money, and energy to this effort. They're aware of the latest music and hobbies likely to interest kids. They listen to and sympathize with kids' problems. They also try to ease young people's inhibitions by gradually introducing sexual content into their conversations or by showing them sexually explicit material.


Some predators work faster than others, engaging in sexually explicit conversations immediately. This more direct approach may include harassment or stalking. Predators may also evaluate the kids they meet online for future face-to-face contact.

According to a researcher, Jonathan Stromberg, the Internet is just a haven for online predators. It offers them 2 big advantages: Firstly, it is completely anonymous, and secondly, it offers an unprecedented level of access to an endless supply of children and teenagers who are actively seeking to chat online. According to the Online victimization research carried out by NCMEC (2000), one in five children who use chat rooms have been approached over the Internet by pedophiles.

The easiest thing in the world is to login to a chat site and pretend to be a teenager from the other side of the country; when in reality you are a a guy in his 40's from the same town.Chatting with friends online - via services like MySpace and Bebo - is beginning to take over from watching TV as the main hobby of many young people. Much of the chat is happening in what are called 'community websites'. Unlike chat rooms, they are not open to everyone: each person has to be invited to join in.

In the course of a normal getting to know each conversation, it is then no more difficult to elicit everyday information, such as what school the child or teenager goes to, and where he or she goes to in the evenings.

Online predators come in different shapes and sizes, and have differing expectations from their online predatory experience. There are the more 'benign' online predators; who get their kicks simply from simply communicating on a normal level with children and teenagers, and who do not being sexual context into the conversations. This is not too much to worry about, other than its spooky factor.

Unfortunately, however, a much greater amount of online predators want to take the relationship onto a higher level. As a rule, this involves asking the child to take part in some kind of light sexual conversational flirtation. This can involve talking about some sexual issue in a roundabout way, without getting too direct. Often, online predators will move onto the next level if they have success eliciting such information. Now they start intensifying such conversation, and may even ask for pictures of the child of a sexual nature; in some state of undress for instance. Fortunately, this is the point (if they haven't already) that some children and teenagers become sufficiently wary so as to become more cautious with what information they share. Unfortunately, though, a lot of teenagers continue to play the game.

From a grandparents perspective, it may seem impossible that their child would enter into a virtual conversation of such nature with a stranger. This of course negates the fact that our children make very different interpretations to the same events as us, and what for us can seem like a cold clear fact that out well brought up children will understand, can by them be perceived as something blown of out proportion and not relevant in their case anyhow. Even if a teenager treats her parents words seriously, things can rapidly change late at night when the guy sending flirtatious messages is a 'handsome young lad from California.'

The issue that should be of most concern for parents is the number of online predators who will go as far as trying to arrange a meeting with the child that they have been in contact with. Such individuals often have considerable experience, and for them it is not difficult to coerce children into a meeting. According to the Youth Internet survey, 2004, in the period of that year, 1 in 33 children received aggressive sexual solicitation; in which the predator tried to fix a meeting with the child. As it can be seen, this is a real issue, and something that parents should certainly be aware of, and consider when establishing rules concerning how their child can use the Internet.

According to the same survey, it was shown that only 25% of children and adolescents who encountered a solicitation told their parents, and it can be very difficult for parents to control their child's use of such sites, as the majority of children and adolescents use occurs at home, right after school, when working parents aren't at home.

Software technology can help you. Its not the magic cure for all online predator ills, but, combined with education and discipline, it is a big step in the right direction towards protecting your children from the problems and dangers associated with Internet use and the computer as a whole. There are different types of software that can assist you in different ways.

Internet filter and monitor programs can help you keep an eye on what your child is doing on the Internet, and enable you to establish filters so that certain chat sites cannot be accessed by your children, or so that certain words cannot be received or sent through chat sites. The best filtering programs are very flexible, which means that you can set your level of filtering which corresponds exactly with your needs.

Computer control programs enable you to control exactly when and how your computer is used. You can set the times when the computer can be used as whole, or each of its individual components, such as the Internet, certain programs, and the CD Rom. In this way you can restrict computer use to times when you are at home, so that you can keep an eye on how your child is using the computer. Such programs are also great for parents as well as grandparents whose children spend too long on the computer.

The fact is that, media is fun and the kids love it. We also know that kids now spend so much time absorbing its messages and images that it has become "the other parent" in their lives, powerfully affecting their mental, physical, and social development. The government need to impose an age appropriate media and the media industry needs to act responsibly as it creates and markets contents for each audience.

In conclusions, grandparents as well as parents should have a choice and a voice about the media our kids consume. Even though every family is different t but all need information. I think that the best way to create a more effective online safety is that the government should impose appropriate regulations at the right time, at the right place, and the right manner. They need to be upheld by our elected leaders. I think that the government should set up one independent and transparent universal rating system for all media. There should be a diversity of programming and media ownership. However, we can't cover our kids eyes, we just have to teach our kids to be a savvy interpreters. Through informed decision making, we can improve the media landscape one decision at a time.
