: ok this is inspired by a group of pople who REALLY pissed me off.
(there is a story here.....share)
:
: 1) have you ever made friends on the internet?
Yes, Billy
: 2) if so how long did you stay friends?
Almost 2 years
: 3) Have you seen them in person?
Yes, I took a train to NYC and he met me there and then drove me back to NJ a few hours later.
: 4) Have you ever ben stalked somone you met on the internet?
Only stalked on the internet but chat perverts. and not recently. never any real life stalkers, though.
: 5) Are people who hang out on the internet (excludong this place) generally fat, pale and nerdy and stuff?
Well, I am pale and slightly overweight...not too nerdy and what stuff?? I dont' know. I have met some great people online, some hotties some notties, but some good friends.
: 6)Why do people make preconcptions about people they've known on the internet for a week?
Easier to be judgemental and rude or accepting to someone you aren't looking at. It is easy to be best friends with someone who only wants from you when you are signed in and online. I am typically really honest on-line. I tend to hold my tongue a little more inperson, unless it is a topic I feel strong about.
: 7) Ever had cyber sex? Did it do it for you?
Nope, never had it. I can't see how it could do it for me, wouldn't I be doing it for myself? I don't need the computer for that.
: 8) Are people on the internet really your friends or are they words on a screen? Did you make thenm what you wanted them to be?
I do have some friends on the internet, some people I think have been sincere with me and that I have been sincere back to. Some people on here just aren't really being themselves, those people are not my friends, they are entertaining at times, and annoying at times, but not my friends.
