Do you ever wonder?
 

I was just thinking about this while I was reading over a thread someone started about murdering people... Do you ever wonder who it is that you are talking with on these forums? When you think about it, it could be anyone, anywhere... It's weird to me because there may be all types of weird people on here and maybe even some actual lunatics who are capable of doing horrible things. How do you know anything about anyone on here? There have already been a few posts today that I saw where people are talking about hurting or even killing other people and I think that this is pretty fucked up. It really gets my brain churning...

Ninety-nine percent of the time nobody's serious when they talk about killing people. I don't think there are any actual lunatics on this forum, because actual lunatics usually have better (and by better I mean worse) things to do, or are antisocial to the point at which they wouldn't really want to debate things on the internet. On the other hand, if there were a Ted Bundy type among us, he would seem right as rain in his posts and therefore wouldn't send up the red flag you feel certain people are. I think for the most part we're pretty sensitive people with good boundaries, and those of us who aren't usually do something offensive enough to get them banned. And even very sensitive people can have very sick senses of humor. I think it would be funny if somebody dropped a sack of kittens out of a helicopter onto an unsuspecting nun, crushing her in a barrage of angry kittens. This is funny to me because it's absurd. Those of us who make jokes about hurting people find it funny because that kind of behavioral extreme would for us be absurd. Although, there are situations in which I might hurt another human being, they're pretty extreme and would involve that person hurting someone I loved or else causing some sort of horrible damage to the world around me. I'm glad to see that somebody has these concerns, though. If, as in the Flying Circus sketch, we manage to "spot a looney" I'm sure we'd do what any decent, sensible person would do and either be rid or help out somebody capable of doing something ghastly. We're good people, except for those of us who are terrible people, but they're not going to do any kind of serious harm.

welcome to the internet world of weird and fucked up ppl.

Interesting points. I wasn't necessarily calling anyone out as being a lunatic on here, I just thought that it was an interesting thing to think about. I also have a pretty absurd sense of humor, so I can appreciate a lot of different shit.

An even bigger problem, probably, is multiple screen-name forum trolls.

You´re the one to talk? :rolleyes:

Fascinating... So I take it that you are a member of a lot of different forums, then?

i think he´s talking about members who shows up under lots of different names on the same forum.

Of all the places in the world to encounter a lunatic, the internet is the safest. Not exactly within striking distance.

i think a lunatic can infect you through the internet with his words.

I think that picture that you have up has already infected me. What the hell is that?

the avatar? a clip from creepshow3

It's ugly.

yeah , most horror is, unless jenna jameson is in it

I tend to not give all that much of a shit...I'm in Sydney Australia, as far as I know the closest person to me here lives a few thousand k's from here anyways, the rest are that far that it wouldn't matter one way or the other...Regardless, I'm not about to throw myself into any kinds of situations where anyone here would either
A: Meet me "alone".
B: Gain entry into my residence
I think that about covers it...if they're some kind've apeshit psycho, doesn't effect me unless I drop the guard I'm not gonna...

Dude, your sounding so bitter latley, where is your sense of humour looming?

atleast they tend to wipe themselves off the planet more often as a direct result of their own stupidity. A single *poof* gone would definitely be nice though.

well there is a lot of stupid bullshit going around here lately. I think this place is going to go back to it's old self pretty soon though.

So what are you predicting?

...

that things are going to get better as soon as everyone relaxes from all the lameness that was going on for weeks (months even).

Quite a few people at this forum know me in real life...I'm just a regular person...No different 'here' as I am anywhere else...Hell, every member of my family is a member of this forum...Although they don't post here very often anymore...because of the stupidity...I suppose they're all smarter than me...lol

But how?????????

Wow if this place freaks you out that much, I reccomend not going anywhere else on the internet.


Oh & btw I'm a serial killer. And a female rapist. Nice to meet ya.

"Female Rapist" Does that mean you rape females or you're a rapist that happens to be female?

Oh brother. If I meant I rape females I'd say rapist. lol Oh & if ya also haven't caught on yet, this is all a little thing called sarcasm.

Sarcasm--that's whacky

whacky whacky

is it, then She is whacky, is that true?

maybe he meant as well? but probably not.

There's a book called 'The Darwinian Awards' or something like. It features those who have done a service to the human gene pool by removing their genes from it, in various stupid ways. Well worth a read - there are some crackers in there.

One that deserves to be in is a guy who died in our city recently. He and a couple of his mates were stealing lead off a roof on an industrial estate near where I live, when they were interrupted by the police. They ran away, and the police chased after them. Now their escape route took them across the river - one ran across the bridge, and the other two went into the river to swim - only one came out the other side. It turns out the other guy - who drowned - had tried to swim the river WITH A BACKPACK OF LEAD! D'oh!
