Has it ever crossed your mind that you might be siding with bad people online?

Odds are very good that some people are bad. We walk next to :eek::eek::eek::eek:s and psychos all day without knowing it. Liberals too. I just found out a lady I work with marched in a No Kings protest and jumped on a car hood.

Just 60K members. I thought it was much higher.
 
Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.

Everyone's got the innate ability in them, they just need a reason to pop off.
 
You can be conversing with a bad person at any point in real life. Do you know what the cashier at the store does when they are not there?

They smiled at your joke, maybe you've entertained rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists without even knowing it.

Same thing online

Yes, as a matter of fact. i can. im intuitive. Nicest guy at work who shook my hand gave me a firing response in my brain. He did indeed have a criminal record. It doesnt matter what they tell me or do, I know it.

Even if we suppose its just drugs or some side action, I think hes done more.
 
Recently my former math teacher whom i used to get along with great got shot by the police after trying to stab his girlfriend to death.
 
Gotta draw the line somewhere

Every time I go out in traffic, at work, to get some food


Bunch of dumb, criminal fucks in all aspects of life
 
This can happen in real life too.

You become friends with someone and then down the road you find out they're secretly a rapist or something.

I bet Bill Cosby had tons of friends that didn't know.

Maybe this is a boring topic but lets try it.

You dont know who people are online but we pretend and assume they are regular folks. Does it ever cross you mind that they might not be? That you might be liking a serial killer, :eek::eek::eek::eek:philes post?

I have been very conservative for this very reason. Loosened up a bit over time.

Does it bother you guys that you dont know who you side with and sometimes even have online friendships with?

Not really.

Mostly people here are siding with arguments and not character. If someone says the earth is round and he ends up being a PDF Im not going to become a flat earther just because of that.

The same problem exists in real life obviously but you have even less info about people here.

In some ways you have more. Since all the interactions are based on opinions you actually get to know more about some users than you will about a neighbor.
 
It’s kind of weird when you realize how little you actually know about the people you talk to online. I try to just focus on what they say and how they act, but yeah… every now and then, it does make me wonder who’s really behind the screen.

No I don't think so. It's probably normal to wonder about who you're conversing with from time to time.
Especially when you read some people's posts lol.

Maybe I'm weird... I just don't give a fuck about who random names are on a karate forum. It's not like I'll ever meet people on here in real life anyway, so what does it matter?

Maybe I'm actually an African American, midget, lesbian from Alabama, in real life; Would that materially change anything?
