I'm a moderator. It us better to report the profile using the report button and explain there. That way there is a log Done! My guess is the person in question is African, but as I say its just a guess. These people are clearly stealing peoples profile pictures from social networking sites and using them on places like Mingle2, which is more or less a form of identity theft. Anyway thats it been reported, heres hoping its dealt with ![]() |

The site can tell. This is one of the best site for getting rid of them but we can't catch them all. The members have to notify us. don't go off site with someone because it's out of our jurisdiction Hi Yellowrose, Are you part of the admin team from this site, if so I can message you the details. Lucky for me I just laugh that crap off, but it may be a good thing to stop it happening to others. Thanks ![]() |

Report and block them. The site will handle them Hi, I would love to, but how can the admins differenciate? Would be nice though, and its so tempting to name and shame the people but you cant really without concrete proof. ![]() This all reminds me of what it was like on meetme.com, which used to be yearbook.com. A place where you go to talk to different people. It really didn't seem to be a friendship driven site. Was just a place where guys tried to pickup women. Most of the time, I'll bet nothing ever materialized out of it. One thing I remember happening, was they had these models, hot young women who were actually scammers, e-mail you or click on the "like you button. Oh, at first guys were jumping with joy thinking this gorgeous young women was contacting them, including myself. The smart ones got the picture pretty much right away though. Its just needless. People praying on folks looking for something positive in their lives, and it aint right. Im quite lucky in that i signed up for this with no expectations, just for some friendly talk. Dont get me wrong, if someone local popped up and were sincere, a PUBLIC meet would be something id possibly consider, but im not sure. Its pretty much impossible to judge someone over a keyboard. If you are doing this with the best of intentions, then good luck to you guys. The fakers can take a long walk off a very short bridge.... |

Snowden: UK government now leaking documents about itself The NSA whistleblower says: 'I have never spoken with, worked with, or provided any journalistic materials to the Independent' The Independent this morning published an article - which it repeatedly claims comes from "documents obtained from the NSA by Edward Snowden" - disclosing that "Britain runs a secret internet-monitoring station in the Middle East to intercept and process vast quantities of emails, telephone calls and web traffic on behalf of Western intelligence agencies." This is the first time the Independent has published any revelations purportedly from the NSA documents, and it's the type of disclosure which journalists working directly with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden have thus far avoided. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/23/uk-government-independent-military-base?cmp=a Hi, If you have access to BBC iplayer, so on and watch the latest Horizon: Beating the hackers Some frightening stuff on there, ill tell you ![]() |

I have an email address i made just for this, with its own password. Im a bit wary of net fraudsters.
Lets just say the person in question gave me a life story of being stuck in another country, having had their money swindled by and ex, and making statements like 'yes im from American' Alarm bells? Thats more like a bomb going off in a broom cupboard ![]() ![]() |

Anyone else here had someone message them to ask for their email address, but found it a bit fishy?
Just had one where someone claiming to be from a certain country, when going from their grammer and style of writing, were blatantly from somewhere else. Its not just someone that cant spell very well, trust me. Seems a bit dodgy they ask for your email address and give you a life story which is realy hard to believe.... |

11/22/63 is fantastic. Current: Once Upon A Halloween - Richard Laymon. Horror, set on Halloween. Satanic cult, and ghosts. Like all the Laymon books I've read, they're fun fast reads. Genre: Don't really have a favorite genre, I like scifi, horror, fantasy, mystery, thriller. I like King, John Irving, Richard Laymon, Robert McCammon, Larry McMurtry Favorite: Boy's Life - Robert McCammon Steel Beach - John Varley The Hotel New Hampshire - John Irving The Drawing Of The Three - Stephen King Lord Of The Rings - Tolkien Thanks, ill need to look them up! I have just finished 11/22/63 - superb book. Bit of a sad ending but i suspected thats what would happen. Honestly, if you like Lord Of The Rings, you should order some David Gemmill books. There are whole ranges, but they are superb reads. Anyone ive ever told them about ends up buying all his work! ![]() ![]() |

''The world aint all sunshine and rainbows. Its a very mean and nasty place, and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently of you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it aint about how hard you hit; its about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. Thats how winning is done. Now, if you know what your worth go out and get what your worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not point fingers saying you aint where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that, and that aint you, your better than that!''
By a certain Mr Balboa, but so true to life. Classic |

Thanks sweets :)
I think, whilst American folk music may be influenced by other nations, her folk music has definatley taken its own route, IE county music and as you mentioned, rythmn and blues, rap etc. Scots and Irish folk music is very similar, i just collectivley call it Celtic. The Scottish, Irish, Welsh and even the Cornish English all share the Celtic connection. English folk music in my mind is the likes of Greenfingers etc....to be honest I dont know many English folk songs...maybe someone can fill me in there.. |
