    I do, I am not actually living in the states at all. I'm on the dole and living in Leitrim*.


    *may be a lie.

    Some will tell a little , some a lot and some insist you must know everything about them .But nobody is obliged to tell anybody anything about themselfs on the web and you only tell people what you wish them to know .Some people will tell lies to protect themselfs ,others will just be habitual liars who may even believe there own lies .White lies sometimes have to be told ,just to escape explaining long boring details but everybody will do this up to a point .

    ha. i love it.

    i just find that sometimes, on the internet, its both very easy to slip a lie in here and there, but at the same time you can be brutally honest because nobody knows who you are.

    I'm not funny in real life so when I'm hilarious on the internet it's a bit of a lie.

    Relative anonymity gives me the feedom to express my views that I may not wish to voice IRL for various reasons.

    Why would you lie to a bunch of people on the internet who you'll never even meet? To impress them? To gain sympathy? Why? It's the net...no-one gives a f*ck who you are once they wander off to the next piece of cyber amusement...


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    Im really honest on the internet actually
    Really should take advantage of the anonymity more

    I'm actually exactly the same on here as I am in real life to be honest (though maybe more witty?.. damn not getting thanks in real life)

    People tell me I'm too honest (in a bad way :P - "You don't care what you say, you say what you think" etc.) so I can't really be more free on here, and I don't really like lying just for the sake of it.

    I do think things like MSN/Any other IM give you more freedom to be completely honest.. it's easier to say how you really feel if it's not face to face

    I like to write sincere and heartfelt emails to loved ones, whilst pooing.

    Sullying things makes them funny.

    The internet is a cesspool of lies and deciete, the person you are talking to could very well be a psychotic murderer who has murdered many people. But from what you get from him/her is that he/she is a prest who gives to charity and is a kind gentle soul. So in answer to your question OP, yes I do lie on the internet but you'd be hard done to find someone who dosen't.

    I knew it was a lie the minute you mentioned Leitrim

    So you only knew it was a lie at the end. That's not really that impressive. If you'd known it was a lie when he mentioned 'knew' then I'd be impressed.

    Actually no I wouldn't.

    That was a lie.
