Fyesteema,

I beg to differ.

Look back on your last post.

Hm. So you didn't say ALL of them, yet you did say meeting anyone you meet online is DESTINED to be horrible. Your whole post seems more ridiculous than the thought of internet relationships itself.

So, let's begin. Okay, everyone online is some person on the computer, another person that's probably just like us. Yes, you're right, there ARE some people that go online who are sexual predators and are looking for a victim. But the number is so incredibly small. We hear about them much on the news because that's the way news works... they do things that capture people's attention. They don't report on the 99.9% of people online who aren't sexual predators, and you don't even hear much about all the online relationships that do end up in marriage! Seriously, saying that you hear shit about sexual predators is like someone saying "Don't meet anyone new, they may be a murderer!", and backing it up with the fact that you hear about people getting murdered all the time. It is absolutely absurd.

Almost everyone who goes online is a normal person... just another person going through life, working, learning, etc... just like all of us. If you say that there are so many sexual predators are out there, give me statistics! Compare the number of sexual predators or acts relating to this to the number of people using the internet. Bet the percentage is incredibly small: Probably less than 0.5%.

So, now I ask the question of you, fyesteema. Has this happened to you? Have you met someone online, it turned out horrible because it was DESTINED to, he wasn't who you thought he was, and had to have your friend bail you out because he wanted to rape you? And was he FUGLY?

I doubt it. If so, maybe we can argue more. But if you have no experience in the area of online relationships and are speaking off of what you THINK they are like... then stop. At least have a real reason for thinking what you think on this, because what you say may affect what Anonymous1 does about this.
