Darrman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I was at a computer club. Me: Yeah, and I was collaborating with some other guys on this, but I never finished... Guy: OH NO, THEY MIGHT KILL YOU! Me: What? Guy: DID YOU HEAR ABOUT (generic guy who met a crook in reality)? THE INTERNET IS EVIL!!! Me: Please, the Internet is NOT evil. (Please, those stupid Irish internet safety conservatives got to him...) Guy: YES IT IS!!! This went on back and forth for a bit... He oversaw me writing this and started freaking out that I'd get killed. Kiddo, forums are not a death sentence! (Literally.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooledEvergreen Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 ^ Is your country really that bad? (Also Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland?) While I can't speak for Darrman, I'm from the Republic. Also, yes our country is that bad, because according to a friend who visited an assembly/meeting about the Internet, for every group or so of people you meet on the Internet, at least one is a rapist.

Hey, big guy. I know a quiet little alley in FFTF where no one can hear you scream there's a really nice view. Wanna come with me and check it out?

Darrman Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yeah, I'm from the Republic. Those "safety" guys basically imply the whole internet is evil. Whenever they have an internet safety talk, I know it's anti-internet propaganda and generally tune out/listen in to laugh internally at the stupidity. "EVERYONE IS LYING ABOUT THEIR IDENTITY! DON'T TRUST ANYONE!" - The average contents of these things. (Said kiddo freaked out because I was typing this post. I had to backspace to pacify him, then whenever a young kid approached, I alt-tabbed away.) I honestly would not be surprised if the chief writers of those things had never spent a second on the internet in their lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna come with me and check it out? Ever since I learned that satastic, I've been trying to figure out who I knew that was the one. In hindsight, your avatar was a dead giveaway.

I feel like if they just stopped with focusing on the minority of the people on the Internet and talked a little positivity it would do a world of good.
