This is meant for serious discussion, with mild humor allowed for good measure.


Do you feel that without it, your life would be an empty shell? Do you have more friends online than you do in real life? Are relationships possible online or are there far too many risks involved? Is it nothing more than 4chan/YTMND/YouTube and all the big socializing sites? What? Discuss.

Don't just simply answer the few suggestions I made, give your own opinion on the internet.

I've come to think less and less of it as I once did and more as just a tool for enjoyment.

It's a tool for uncovering information. Whether it is various logical fallacies presented by people or actual data on the real world, it still offers insight. Addiction is a real problem, but I've never been one to fall prey to things like that.

I'm not sure what I would being doing without the web. I'd have found something obviously but right now, my life revolves around the Web as that was supposed to be a large part of my occupation. Doesn't seem that way so far though.

I do but I don't measure friends with quantity.

Easily. My brother met his girlfriend online and they're doing well. And in the age of webcams, you can almost be certain these days.

To me the internet is just another place to waste time when I don't feel like doing anything else. the only good the internet has provided is research.

Harley... at least 65% of the Internet is porn. Stats indicate that 260 new porn sites go up daily. That's quite a lot of porn being mongered around. Even if it doesn't crop up in searches, that doesn't mean it isn't there. There's so much porn being trafficked through the Web and file sharing that it's astonishing... well, not really. But 1% is far too low for the porn numbers.

Silly little mortals. Don't you know the name of the song?

THE INTERNET IS FOR PORN!

But, lets get off that topic... there's obviously enough posts about it so far. =\

<_<...

Now, to get to the serious discussion as previously specified as so by the head Administrator of this... Cannibal mansion that still has hope and I proudly call home! ... Well, of sorts.

No. I have plenty of friends in real life. I have plenty of friends that care for me, and I honestly couldn't replace them with the internet. Sure, the internet is a good way to pass the time and just dick around. But, it can only last so long. I honestly feel that the people that use the internet and see it as an alternate life really should get off and see the real world. Sure, some people may not like the real world, but that's why we have it. To remind us that everything isn't just a computer screen and mouse.

And, no. It's not all just about YouTube and 4chan (I don't even go there. =\) I get on to keep in contact with the people I moved away from in North Carolina. Most of them, anyway. I get on here to talk with the good friends I've made online in general. Magneto, as such. Blu and Ayu... haven't really gotten to know you quite well, but I still consider you my friends. I hope you look back on me as the same. And, if you don't, well I can't do much about it. Not like I'll really see either of you in real life, anyway... O_o

That's practically my outlook on the internet. Other than the fucking lowlifes who go around insulting other people just because they know they're on the opposite side of a computer screen. And, honestly, encourage others to kill themselves on a live webcam feed. That happend not too long ago, and it was said that some people actually egged it on... those sort of people disgust me. And is why I don't completely trust the internet, or most of the people on it.

But, I'm ending my bitch spree now. O_o

Cool?
Hmm...I guess that's just the way I am, sorry."

I don't care what you are doing, so much
as the idiotic way that you are doing it.


Too much hope is the opposite of despair. An overpowering love may consume you in the end..

More nightmares will come to me now. More than I previously had.

Those numbers were hardcore porn and fetish porn sites, including those solo girl sites and hentai sites. So yeah, 65% to 70% of the Internet is pornographic. There are millions of indexed sites and millions more that are not.
