Well I think it's alright talking to people on the internet, but you have to be carefull. I mean, I met this nice girl called Tracey on GSB chat and we got each others addys and have got to know each other alot. I've given her my mobile number, but thats okay becasue I've seen her on Webcam so I know its not some 50 year old creep.

we did this in social education.
people make it out as some terrible thing to do and your never to do it because you will be tracked down and stalked etc
and lots of people who havn't ever talked to people on the internet(my friend) say
'oh yeah they are all perverts that want to take you away and rape you'
'they are all old men who want to cyber'
this isn't right.there may be people like that but the people i have talked to on here they are seem nice but i would never meet up with anyone here.

No, it's not dangerous until you start to give personal information.

Buffy: you're over reacting
Xander: but she could be talking to an eighty year old Yugoslavian woman!
Buffy: you know she's not
Xander: who's to say she's not if she isn't in an elderly Yugoslavian women's chatroom?


and that's the episode Willow meets a robot on the internet that almost kills her; I hope you learned your lesson

The latest terror law passed in the house of commons in britain has been the right to disclose information. from now on all

1.email
2. messages
3. phone line.
4. mobiles/cell phones.
5. post.

can be read, seen and confiscated by the state. All privacy has been removed.

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the start of a nanny state.

I think it could be, but it depends on what site. Like, MySpace or chat rooms. On sites like this one, I think there is less of a risk, but I still don't give out personal info. It happens quite a few times in my area, but I know I'm smarter than to meet a person I met online somewhere.

It's not dangerous until you let them know your address, phone number, and where your extra key is. Wink

Yes, my profile says Im a 13 year old girl, but really Im a 50 something year old man talking to teenagekids (but really you are all 50 something too)

Honestly, if your stupid enough to give out your phone # or address or agree to meet a complete stranger, then your asking to me raped or killed. Its just not smart.

personally i only think its dangerous if your not aware of the dangers. If you know that giving out your personal details is not the best idea then its not that much of a dangerous place for you. You just have to be aware of the people out there who can make it dangerous

Bloodraine:
It depends on the person. I have 'talked' online with many people, some of which i would be quite afraid of meeting in the real world. I would say to you this: Dont be naive, and go with your instinct!


i agree

I've given my phone number to one of my GSB friends. We talked on the phone. I have her number too. I know she's not a horny 60 year old man.
But I would never give my adress to someone I don't know well.

I don't think it's that dangerous.
I guess it depends, on how much you tell, and who you tell it to.

It's dangerous when people are not playing it safe, I could say.
It's as dangerous as walking on the street and start a conversation with a somebody.
Cause that's what it really is, finally.
But on the internet, you can't see who you're talking to.
So yes, it's a bit dangerous.
Just stay safe! Smile
