The Trouble with Online Public Forums

The Trouble with Online Public Forums

Where else can you swap thoughts with kindred spirits from around the globe, in your slippers, from the comfort of your home? Where else can you get to know some of the finest people in the world, become lifelong friends, without even the slightest prospect of ever be with them in the same room? Where else can you be the real you that few if any know?

Where else can you burp and not feel obligated to say, "Excuse me"?

Then there's habit as opposed to obligation.

I dunno, I think the real problem is one fella says something, then haters thumb it down. 😕

Well, I knew spitting on the ground was big there.

Apparently burping is also ok there under certain circumstances. Those Chinese, what a crazy bunch!

I once worked with a guy from... not sure, maybe the Philippenes. He made all kinds of disgusting sounds of which I had no idea the human body was capable of making. For him it was completely normal. He must've thought I was quite rude for not constantly coughing, burping, farting, slurping, squelching, snorting, snoring, spitting, scratching, barking, barfing, choking, hawking, gasping, rasping, panting, hissing, huff'n 'n puff'n.

Where was the "trouble" part? I seem to have missed it.

Sounds like my fourth husband when we made piggies.
