I find it very interesting that alot of folks that haven't been around in years are showing up to comment on things. Just find it interesting.......

Yes, I changed the question when I found out how many people don't want immortality. People want to die.

I find that hard to believe, but that is what I am hearing.

^^^I take issue with posting pics
For the past 10 or so years I have worked with families that have missing children. It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life but also the most eye opening.
I have met so many families who's lives have been torn apart in the most horrendous way.
In that time I have learned so much and have tried to take that knowledge to families with children in the hopes of preventing them from ever having to experience such a horrible loss.
As a parent I am as guilty as some others in how I did things when my daughter was growing up. I put her name on her jacket and lunch box, I let her approach the ice cream man when he passed by ringing his bell. I insisted she sat on Santa's lap even though I had tried to teach her not to talk to strangers.
Now our world has changed. The internet has opened up a whole new world for predators and pedophiles.
Our children have email accounts, they play online games and surf the net. They visit chat rooms and I am sure some things we are not even aware of.
The sad truth however is those predators know where to look online and how to work their way into unsuspecting children's lives.
We here are hopefully all adults but in reality I am sure many have come here for fun or out of curiosity and are children or young teens pretending.

We as adults come here maybe just to chat or make a few friends or possibly find love. We build a profile page and place photos on that. If we are searching for adult friendship why would anyone place photos of their children on the page?
I wish they would stop and think about what they are doing. Exposing those photos here for the world to see.
How many photos have you seen of children standing in front of their school with the schools name in plain view? How many have you seen with kids posing in their school sports team shirts? The parents profile gives the town they live in. It is not hard trace photo's. Even placing photos through your i-phone is track-able if you have not taken time to set the options to prevent that. I understand the pride people have in their children and wish to share that with others but they need to stop and think about how not only are they possibly putting them in danger they are taking away their child's right to privacy. The internet does not forget. There have been cases where parents place photos only to find out they have been taken and placed on pedophile sites.
Don't use your children's pics on adult date sites to impress others. Their safety is more important than finding a date.

Yes we are immortal. I believe that too.

And I think if we decide, we can live as long in the physical body as we choose.

Are people programmed to think that it is their duty to die? Do we not deserve to live as long a life as possible?

I think we do.

I bet. People are full of lots of things.

I'll vouch for her. She really is a rotten banana.....

so in actuality I have been in a relationship with a banana named Chiquita for over four four years? The things you find out on the net!

We don't need more laws, particularly laws that govern the Internet.

Is everyone so frightened that they want laws to protect them from everything? If so, this fear is what will lead us into a perfect police state.

That's what is so great about places like this, we discuss, learn, and open up to new things. We learn and see things we may not have before.

It's good to see that you are open to such, and not closed minded and think you know everything like some others may be.

I would have to see the actual law before I could believe that.
But California is practically a complete police state now anyway so they may have passed some illegal law to that effect.

Would you care to elaborate about this law?

FYI:
Using a picture of someone else for your icon is not "impersonation."

Operating under an alias is not impersonation.

Impersonation is when you take on someone else's identity, to include personal information etc.
