A quick question
 

Right.....hi guys.

This question is not directed at anyone in particular or about certain people but.... after reading a few of the posts on this forum today, some posts and replies are obviously people trying to impress others so they come up with some 'overly detailed' (obviously taken from other peoples websites or bloody dictionary definitions) contributions to the conversations. It's just so obvious that these people are fake when you look at the other posts they make.

So my question is.....

As a percentage, how many members of this forum do you think are not genuine (i.e. full of shit)?

My guess is about 50%. Based on the fact that I know and respect a number of member's views here but I can tell the bullshitters a mile off.

What are your estimations.....

Px

I'd be more optimistic, I'll say about 30%. I can think of three or four in particular that are full of shit, but I think for the most part folks 'round these here parts aren't fake.

I am new to this site. I don't know. But i am realllll...

Cool. Put your vote down.......

Haha... I think I just read the post you're referring to, and I'll agree with you on that.

Shit....dont say that. I'm talking about a number of posts i've read over the last few weeks and i've just been reading some of them and they make me laugh they're so bloody unreal.

I repeat.....this is not directly aimed at anyone in particular.

I'll just give you a random example of what i'm talking about.....

Post 1. I'm off to South Africa soon on holiday. etc etc.

Bulshit reply. Oh I love South Africa. I especially love the fact that the population is 44.8million and the birth rate is 33.58 births/1,000 population. But the most suprising this to me was that it covers 1,219,912 sq km. I haven't got this from a website.....honest.

Oh yeah.....by the way, here's my picture (insert a pic of Jonny Depp). This is me on a bad day. And here's the Mrs....(choose a good pic). etc etc.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you must be kidding. :D :D

Ah, I remember a couple of the photo ones. It used to be a lot worse when we had the Post a Pic of Yourself 2.0 thread...

Yeah tell me about it. Some of the photos had people who looked like models in them. But i'm not really talking bout the photos more the things people type.

This is exactly why I don't take very much of what people say on forums too seriously. I'd like to think that most people are legit, but you never know... The concept of anonymity gives certain people license to create a life out of whole fabric, I suppose.

I can think of a couple on here.

I'm going golfing with George Romero and Tom Savini today.:D

Right then......i'm off home now in my Porshe to the helipad. We're practicing for our gig tonight. Heres our website: www.metallica.com if you want to have a look. We've got a few albums out. You should be able to get them in specialist stores.

Or I could just be going down the local to piss my boring life away.

Oh yeah.....did i tell you i'm making a horror movie?

Keep voting! I'll be checking the results.

There was more fighting in that thread than picture posting. :D

Bullshitters on the forum, I'll say 30%

The first person to come to my mind is one of the more popular members on here, I wont say who he is though.

I got a question. How about if a person is fulla crap, but only 50% of the time? How do you list that? They're not 100% crap. So if they represented 1% of the members, could I list them as 1/2 of 1%? Because to my mind they shouldn't get the whole percentage if they're only half.

No actually my actual comment is that I think people are fulla crap WHETHER THEY'RE ON MESSAGE BOARDS OR NOT! lol

Interesting question....

by BSer's, what do you mean, The first post wasnt entirely clear.

I'm new to the board, so i dont think i could actually say.

EDIT: nevermind, i kept reading and my question was answered.

I dont know though, i havent seen any of that on this site (but like i said, im new)

I dont get it. Why try to impress your computer screen??? Who the fuck cares???

You know what annoys the hell out of me. People that use big ass fucking words on here that no one uses in a real conversation.

Listen folks, I dont give a shit about your vocabulary or the fact that you are trying to be an intellect.

As long as you "keep it real" it doesnt bother me.

I hope noone is impressed by me. I am about as bright as these 2 morons.

I couldnt agree more. I feel that most people are always trying to be someone else. They follow a formula - either from music or tv. yes these things influence you, but most people dont mold themselves from life experience. Its from watching something and simply saying "wow, thats who i want to be like"



but many people dont flow with what their life has molded them into.

The hip hop culture comes to mind. Originally it was great...social movement....positive msgs, etc

now its a matter of ignorance(not all but alot of the crap floating around).
SO you have all these people embracing the culture because its so easy to do so.
Listen to the music..talk their lingo...and act tuff....the gangstar rap culture is about being a hard ass. So people listne to that shit...wathc scarface 10000x and then think that they are the legit tuff guy gangsters they always looked up to. Without living the life..or anything. They just pop on 50 cent.

thats why rap is so popular...its all about being tuff and making money...but its a false image..as only .00001% have that lifestyle.

but it doesnt stop the popularity of it from spreadling like wildfire.

Fo shnizzle dog. Don't be playing me dat crapizzle. I be down wit dat.

word

GOL

Giggle out loud

that's messed up.

LMAO!!!!!! :D

LMAO!!!!!!! :D

LOL.....I'd say there is a handful of bullshitters here. Just like there is the same handful who seem to start all the crap around here......myself, I try to keep it real :cool: I like flaming the n00bs even though most of them are too stupid to know it's all in fun. I like flirting with the ladies :p , like argueing sports....etc. Yep, no bullshit here.....

You know you're really an elderly black lady with an amputated leg.

Can't help it.....some of these folks are quick witted and funny :D

Oh no, my secret is out!!!! :eek: Actually, you are right. It was all bullshit, except flirting with the ladies. I'm really a fat lumpy little shit......everything is SMALLER in Texas. Here's a picture of the real horney little Drac :D

Oh shit. I voted that 76% or more was the likeliest number. I also included myself in that catergory. I mean... I'm not saying that I'm stupid pretending to be smart, I'm just saying that I have a propensity for bullshit from time to time.

I put 26%-50%, but I dont think Id quite reach to 50%. Probably around 30-35%, more like it. I dont believe much of anything online, but alot of you here do seem rather honest.

I´m actually a pure genius. I just don´t know enough english words to put it down on print and show off in here.:D

Now, I have a large vocabulary from writing and upper level English courses that I've taken, both in high school and university levels. However, I don't think I'm a goddamn genius because I can use the word "loquatious" in a sentence. My parents are both intelligent, and so is my brother.

Also, we have people that post without thinking, but I don't think there are any really and trully learning deficient folks around here. I mean, if you can construct a "lofty sentence," then you've obviously have some natural shine. If it's a poorly constructed sentence, then you've got shine in potentia...or something.

How about the percentages? I won't wote, cause i have no idea on this. Thus, i can't see the results...?

If I'm in the right mood, I'll post intellignent stuff. Most of the time I just procrastinate and I type my smart-alec comments.

I'm not too good with the written word. I'm much better at speaking. When I sit down to write something I can never get my thoughts in order enough to put together a well constructed sentence, let alone a whole paragraph like some people on here. I read some posts here and think "Damn, why didn't I think of saying that?"

I'm the exact opposite. I'm not a good speaker. In front of a group of strangers its like my tongue is made of Jello.

And i for one, sure appreciate that. ;) :)

I used to be that way. Since I've started speaking at my church I've become much more comfortable with it.

I'm also the opposite of you Taylorsmommy. I have a hard time with verbal communication partially because I'm a little bit shy in person, and also because of the things that happen to me when I'm speaking.

I stutter a little bit. I get nervous, so it's like a domino effect. I'm better than I was, though. University helped me with that. I took a lot of seminar courses where I was required to speak.

I've been thinking about this thread a lot as the day has worn on. I'm afraid the purpose that it serves, while entertaining, may divert more people into silent positions. It's definitely made me a little more conscientious about what I say. I certainly don't want to seem full of shit all of the time.

Could you define "bullshit?" I'm serious. For this thread to really make sense, we need a working definition of "bullshit." That way, I can be even more attentive to what I am posting.:)
