We are not normal.

[surferarmo]

How many people do you know spend their time on internet forums? We are not normal. Not that being not normal is bad. Arent there better things to do?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I believe no one is normal. I don't think you can classify someone to be normal, because it would all be a matter of opinion. And as for the forums thing, It can just be another hobby for some of us, just like how you surf and I BMX, It's some type of entertainment for us all. I'm sure others have more complex reasons or very simple reasons for foruming. But I have to say I always have enjoyed these forums in a different way because It's populated with Armenian posters and seeing that I am in "Germania", I'm kind of at a loss (culturewise) and have a hunger for it. So it helps me a lot.

definetly, I love this forum. Damn, I could be outside right now, what the hell am I doing inside taking these seriously. There is a definition of normal. To me, I am normal. To other people not participating in this forum, we are kooks with no social life. I have a social life, but whatever. Maybe some of my social life is here in these forums. Is that normal? How do you define normal?

PS. Is the food, and beer good over there?

[Andromida806]

The food isn't bad,I sure could use a Denny's every once in while though. But the beer is awsome. Best beer I've ever had.

I agree with Andro on Normal... it's always relative.
when it comes to foruming... I just do it when i'm at work and i'm bored..
it's awesome cuz you get to share opinions with people you don't know. I wouldn't do it with my "social life friends" cuz I know them.
and Andro I kept thinking you're from OC.. what r u doing in Germany?? lol

[Andromida806]

I am from OC... I'm just gonna be in Germania for another 3 1/2 yrs... I'm pretty sure I stated in my AC profile that I'm in the Army

Being on the forums is not about being normal. Too many people blacklist and frown upon people who go on the internet, or meet a date from the internet, or post on an internet forum. Somehow those people with "superior social lives" look down on those who partake on the goods of technology.

You know what's hard about the internet communication? People's obvious stupidity would surface if they dared post on forums, as can be witnessed from the onslaught of the Armenian rappers here. It takes quite a bit of intelligence and thought to make logical posts and not get your ass twisted for it. Thus I believe many people cannot come up with any coherent content or topics and so avoid it and make fun of those that do. They would prefer to stick to "chillin with muh friends" or simply just chatting in a chatroom, which doesn't take much really. It's more about "ASL" "LOL" "LMAO" and other acronyms. Chatting is really just abbreviated dialogue and doesn't require much intelligence. After getting the ASL info, you most likely resort to more chatting in the manner of private chats and even that isn't hard since its mostly bragging and asking questions.

But to come to a forum and formulate your ideas and defend your topics, etc etc, takes some intelligence and effort which most aren't ready to or can't give.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT :!:

I refuse to defend you on the grounds that I don't defend people off the internet.
