Myspace is not for kids anymore. Many, many adults are on it now because it is such an easy way to keep track of friends and family from all over. My mom is even getting a profile started so we can keep in touch along w/aunts in other states.
The thing about it is that kids lie about their age too! So I don't know. My son has a band and most girls that they meet at concerts are under age and said they were of age so again I don't know.

I also like Duncan Hunter. I think Ron Pauls views on medicare and social security will scare the h*ll out of those soon to retire and the elderly. He will not get their vote. I would love to see Duncan Hunter as pres and Paul as vice pres.

Regardless what someone says about your pick of a candidate,winable or not,wrong or right in their view just vote for who you think will be best.

I'm sticking with RP.

Duncan Hunter is a good candidate IMO, but obviously hasn't sucked up enough to the GOP to get any clout. Pretty disappointing.. and the day myspace has any clout in the electoral process is the day I give up all hope on it..

BTW, where is the OP moving to? I remember alec baldwin was supposed to move almost 8 years ago, but he obviously changed his mind.. I guess verbally abusing your daughter from a foreign country just doesn't have the same effect..

I actually met Senator Hunter while he was waiting for a local TV interview and IMHO he is just another fat cat looking out for himself and the other “haves” and “have mores” that are the core of the Republican Party. I will not vote for any of the Republicans because I think they will let our country slide into the tyranny that usually accompanies a failing empire.

I’ll support Obama in the primary and, if necessary, vote for Ms. Clinton if she is nominated.

FranceJ16 - Why don't you move back to France? I certainly would if I had citizenship.

I'm an american but due to father being a french born citizen I have my french birth certificate and french passport.

I speak french due to being raised w/it (it's my second language) but my husband does not (he's trying to learn now BUT I don't have the patience w/him trying to help him) so we'd prefer to go to an english speaking country

It would be easier in France since half my family is there and they could help get us jobs but again w/o him speaking french right now it would be hard for him
