Huh, I remember reading that not long after he posted, never went back into the thread though so had no idea! I take it he's never commented on it since the thread was locked?

You know, this one time when we were partying at his house on Venice Beach I asked Jim Morrison the exact same question. He just looked up, his eyes fixed themselves on mine and he simply answered, "because they do, and what the **** is an internet?"

I witnessed this conversation.

Because the internet is anonymous. It's unlikely anyone is going to find out you're lying.

And people like lying.

I'm a Billionaire.

 

[Tunney]

Because it's hard for people (except Tefal) to disprove their claims?

You that one I paid £50k to so you could get that gold out of the Congo?

What ever happened to my cut?

People lie everyday the internet just makes it easier. What's really sad is when people believe their own lies.

I never do anything but lie on the intenet. Not a single sentence I write is true.

I swallowed it whole, so sorry please forgive me.

If people didn't lie then telling the truth & being youself wouldn't mean as much as it does.
It's also Mega fun outing them & ripping the crap out of them.

Epic , what a fool.

 

[HangTime]

In real life I can half get lying. It's an attempt to one up your friends or get a girl by telling her your a millionaire or something. But lying on the web? What is the point?

People lie on the internet to one up their friends or get a girl.

The same reason they lie to impress others in real life, to feed their ego and try to stand out from the crowd.

Same reason they buy designer clothers, exotic cars, expensive phones/jewelry etc.

The next sentence is a lie. The previous sentence is true.

Wow I remember read that I had no idea at the time he was telling a lie

 

[Viper²]

What about Azab claiming he was a girl and broke up with his GF?

 

[Moredhel]

I lie on the internet all the time, but then the eldars catch me and kick me out of the clock tower where the internet is kept, but I go back as it's so warm and cosy to lie on.
