I was reading a pulse by passionflwr86 and she wrote, “It occurred to me… I feel closer, to many of you, than I do to people “IRL.” I chose to think of this as a very good thing.”
Do you think it is a “good thing” to be closer to people on xanga than you are to people in real life?
A recent study was conducted and men are more likely to pick up a hitchhiker if she has large boobs.
Here are the results of the study:
Cup Size A Cup Size B Cup Size C
Male drivers (n = 774) 40/268 46/256 60/250
(14.92%) (17.79%) (24.00%)
Female drivers (n = 426) 12/132 11/144 14/150
(9.09%) (7.64%) (9.33%)
You can see from the chart that women were not impacted by the larger boobs. But men are more likely to help out if the woman has larger boobs. Here is the link: Link
I am sort of curious how this would work as a xanga experiment.
Do you think more guys would comment a woman with larger boobs?
A school district has agreed to pay $50,000 to help settle a suit after a girl was banned from wearing a pro-life t-shirt.
Here is the t-shirt:
Here is a close-up of the t-shirt:
The girl was in 6th grade at the time. Here is the link: Link
Is the t-shirt too graphic for the 6th grade?
Recently in a pulse, Joanna_Said_So asked her friends if she would look better with or without bangs.
Does Joanna look better with or without bangs?
A 25 year old beauty therapist is claiming she had sex with 5,000 men in a 9 year time frame.
She started when she was 16 years old. She said she has had sex in “nightclubs, alleyways, parks, cinemas and teen discos.” She said the most she has had sex with in one night was 4 men. She averaged a little under two a day for those nine years. Here is the link: Link
Do you think it is likely that she had sex with 5000 men?
I was talking to my wife tonight and she was mentioning that her boss had viewed negative comments about herself on Facebook. Apparently her boss had read some messages in comments where people took swipes at her.
My wife said, “People tend to be more negative online than they are in real life.”
Are you more negative online than in real life?
Recently someone stole the photos of a 14 year old girl on xanga and also the photos of a woman from Facebook. There was some controversy because a blogger on xanga was accused of being involved by the mother of the 14 year old girl. I want to avoid that drama so I will not mention names. In fact, I didn’t want to address the issue again. But I had already asked Amanda if she would do an interview before I said I was going to let the issue alone. So I want to do this without creating any drama.
Amanda is the woman from Facebook that had her photos stolen. So I asked her the questions below and her answers are highlighted in bold. At this stage, I think we can all just hopefully hear from a victim of the crime and hopefully learn something from the whole situation:
Amanda,
Q: How did you come to find out that your photo was being used on the xanga site?
A: I found out through a friend who happened to see it on xanga.
Q: How many people contacted you to tell you that your photo was being used?
A: I had 3 people contact me to let me know what was going on. 1) an immediate friend 2) you. and 3) my best friend’s cousin who I have never even met! It was very bizarre.
Q: How did you feel when you first found out that your photo was being used by another person?
A I obviously felt violated in some way… I wasn’t all too concerned until I actually saw what this person was writing… I just thought it was altogether very creepy. I know photos on the net are practically public domain.. however putting false information to real faces is an entirely different story!
Q: Did you go check it out when you heard your photo being used?
A: I did look at the site briefly. I was so disturbed that I just didn’t even want to read more, or see how many pictures this weirdo had of me.
Q: I am sort of curious if it is not too personal but did you contact xanga to tell them about your photo being used?
A: I did contact xanga about my photos being used. However I could not find a phone number and could only send an email (I received no response until two days after the blog was shut down- convenient?!!?!)
Q: You may know that a 14 year old girl had her photo used in a post. What are your thoughts on that?
A. If anyone posted pictures of my child, I would be furious. There are sick people out there, and there is no need to exploit anyone, especially minors. However, I also think that kids shouldn’t have facebook or be able to blog. It really only seems to bring more harm than good, especially with today’s generation.
Q: Have you changed anything about your privacy settings on the Internet in order to make your photos more protected?
A: I actually just double checked my privacy settings. The pictures he had used were older, before I changed my profile to Friends Only. However, if people want to see something on the internet I know there are ways around everything.
Q: Have you learned anything through this experience that you would want to pass on to others?
A: I don’t think I learned anything new, this person just confirmed what I already knew— the internet is filled with ******* (God’s name used in vain edited) weirdos with way too much time on their hands.
Q: What do you think the punishment should be for someone who steals the photos of others?
A: I don’t know the right punishment. I think whether this person is banned from the site or not doesn’t really matter. In the end, if someone sees me who read his blog, I will forever be the girl who “took her sister to an abortion clinic.” Not very flattering.
Q: What is a greater violation, having your photos used or someone writing thoughts that was pretending to be you?
A: I think someone pretending to be me is way worse than just stealing pictures. We all know that anything we put on the internet is up for grabs. Someone changing my life story is invasive and sick.
Q: Had you ever heard of the person who stole your photos before this incident? Do you have any reference to him now? Do you have any idea how your photos could have been copied?
A: No. I have no idea who this character is. I especially never want to know him. This behavior is very strange, and can only be best described as creepy. How or why he took my pictures? WHO CARES. He truly needs to get a life- one worth writing about.
I would like to thank Amanda for doing the interview.
This is my question to you:
What is a greater violation, having your photos used or someone writing thoughts that was pretending to be you?

Look at the following two sentences.

2. The blogger is more emotional than his cousin.
I remember the first time I went to get a massage. I was kind of nervous and I didn’t know what to expect. The lady walked in and told me I should remove my clothing and then get underneath the sheet and she would be back in a few minutes.
So I took off everything but my underwear. I got underneath the sheet. She came back in and gave me the massage. She told me that I could have just taken my underwear off because that makes for a more comfortable massage. I told her I didn’t realize people did that. But the place appeared legit.
I have told the story before about the first time that I had a hydrotherapy massage. Lets just say it is more revealing.
If you were getting a massage, would you go naked?
