I'm doing some coursework at school about the non-dangers of chatrooms. so I need to find the views of people who use the internet-ie you lot. I was hoping you could answer my question. And also if any of you aren't between the ages of 15-25 could you say....erm...ai (answer serioulsly, its a very precise investigation )
Cheers

Hmm why isn't my third option showing?

[Mcqueen_]

Yes, But most things CAN be dangerous if used incorrectly.

[a_girl_from_mars]

jsut give me your * opinion....please

most chatrooms ive been in have clearly stated that it was for 16+, not that they were sexual in anyway but because there might be swearing but there were still 13 year olds in there. Its like 13 year olds going to the cinema to see an 18 film.
If there was a moderator for each room then there would be no bother. Plus if there was a bot killer on yahoo chat it would be a godsend.

[MK Chris]

i think they are ok. I mean you just have to be sensible. Its not hard.

[Sheep]

if there friendly ones like the one on this site then yea, but if there from winmx then no.

[Uglybob]

winmx, have u been in them, unintentionally hilarious some of them, theres an american eastenders room, go in there and ruin all the storylines for them.

[Gigglyboots]

I never go to chat rooms these days, I only use Msn where I know I'm in control of who speaks to me.

I guess they can be used correctly, but also abused.

If people all abide by the set guidelines/rules then they are fine controlled things. However, it is hard to moniter some chatrooms and so I guess if you wanted to go meet someone it wouldn't be that difficult.

i was bored and with a warning that they should be only veiwed by over 16's how could i resist?

Poor old Topher, eh?

[MK Chris]

What can I say I was conned by a beautiful woman? I'm with Miranda Sawyer... (although not literally as her face is scary).

[Sidders]

if there friendly ones like the one on this site then yea, but if there from winmx then no.

Unless Lewis is in there telling you to "go home".

By the way, while we're on the subject, I may as well get a plug in... #radio1 is now under new management.

...So use #moyles instead..

[Ahh_Pathetic]

How does a cork screw go in your eye? surely only if you stab yourself...

[Ashley]

you could trip

[Ashley]

you could trip

[Sidders]

There's no neet to post twice you know, we are capable of getting the point after reading it just once.

[Aaron]

and you have ago at me for stating the obvious when you do the same.

[Ahh_Pathetic]

stating the obvious about stating the obvious about stating the obvious... locked in an eternal loop.

if you trip you have still stabbed yourself even if it is an accident.

[Sidders]

Didn't you just state the obvious? Oh, here I am stating the obvious again. We could go on forever.

[Aaron]

Hence the reason why gaspode (golden vision) said locked in an eternal loop.
