Why do so many people online hide behind a computer screen and lie to so many?????

Because they are .... LOSERS. Hehe. I find it strange too. I used to communicate some years back by Amateur Radio, and people then seemed to be quite honest, although to be fair, Amateur Radio is only used by fans of the technology, vis-a-vis the internet which is available to all.

Didn't your parents teach you better than to lie?\n\nIt's ok, everyone in chat rooms does it.  Usually because they don't like what their reality is.\n\nMany are criminals and sex offenders and pretend to be teenagers.

Because creepy pervs dont get out much so they have to use the internet. And the majority of people on here are young. The creepy pervs always know where to find the what they are looking for. And unfortunately, there seem to be creepy pervs hooking up with other creepy pervs here. I know, its creepy.

How many people know your pseudo?\n\nHow many others use your computer?\n\nNope.\n\nThe only way to TRULY keep a secret is to NEVER tell, in any way, shape or form. NEVER.\n\nNow that I'm thinking about it, I find that I dislike secrets. \n\nI prefer to toss the plain old truth right out there, and let the chips fall where they may. 99 times out of 100, anyway (ah, but there's always that ONE time, right?).  :-))\n\nKeeps me honest.  :-))\n\nI mean MY secrets. I consider other people's secrets to be a sacred trust. And, ah, the delicious secrets that have been confided to me :-)) I am like a black hole. I take in all, and release nothing.\n\nThat's my 2 cents, anyway.

Yes, I agree. It's like some people are true perverts and pedophiles. I watch the places my daughter goes when she's online. Someone has to be able to protect her!

Yes, there are many fake people in this world, tell me about it. I had a friend just like that, she'd always go on about herself and complain how her life was hard, yet when I tried to confide in her, she didn't have time to listen! She's no longer a so called friend of mine, can't be dealing with that.

IT SEEMS THAT ANYONE WHO SPENDS ALL DAY ON LINE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE.ON THE OTHER HAND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, ARE SAVED FROM A LONELY LIFE BY GOING ON LINE. I 'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ONES WHO PREY ON YOUNG CHILDREN. I HOPE THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM SOON.\nI GUESS YOU AND I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO DURING THE COURSE OF A DAY AND,USE OUR TIME WISELY. MAYBE SOMEDAY WE WILL BE SPENDING MORE TIME ON THE FASCINATING WORLD OF THE INTERNET.

I think it's the people on myspace or something. They are like taking over the damn universe.\n\nAfte ra while of using the internet, people with blogs and websites have sort of set up some rules that we all must abide by or something. \n\nSometimes it's just pure common sense.\nHowever, we know that not everyone uses it all the time. \n\nDepends really.

I think everyone is pretty much hiding behind their pc.

They are NOT all liars and gross. I have a myspace profile, and so do a lot of my friends and family. Yes, there are some creeps out there who use it to get to children and such, but not everyone there does that. There are ways to make it safe and private, so that only the people you know can contact you or view your profile. You just have to be careful.

They want to feel important by spreading one of their creations though peoples computers. I bet its a huge thrill to see how easily people can be exploited and without notice. Sometimes its used as resources to post annonymous information or ddos a victim.\n\n\nWorms and Trojans can be used to steal your creditcard number and other monetary information.\n\nSpyware because they get marketing information about what the average person spends time doing online and how they learn about it.

Some people become addicted to lying. Others do it casually for cover. People constantly worry about what other people will think and the consequences of revealing the truth. Therefore, they lie to make things seem better than they actually are.

We're human, we are bound to hide in some way.  Either to hide our personality flaws or to hide physical deformity of some sort.  Does anyone know everything in our heart?  Some overcompensate and are boistrous and loud to hide insecurities, some are indifferent and unresponsive because they shut themselve out from the world so they don't get hurt.  Some seem real but are really a shell.  People are meant to adapt.  We change depending on who we are with, where we are, and how comfortable we feel. Everyone wears a mask, even the one who answer these questions.

I have no clue.  There is a mix of people on the net and some feel that since they are behind a computer screen they can be anything that they want. Just like my space.  I'm not saying everyone on the net is a bad person but it is too hard to weed out the good from the bad.  my opinion is take everything everyone says lightly and don't trust anyone. They don't know you and you don't know them so who cares what they think.

70% are using this as a form of escapism, get to act stupid on anonymous site when they can't act that way in front of others, or just to get a reaction (e.g., most of the shockers such as the racists, etc.). 10% are really that stupid and ignorant and don't realize it. Rest of them are proud of their ignorance.
