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

Good point. Where else can you witness innocent people being tossed under buses; train wrecks waiting to happen; live gnomes and trolls; receive psychological autopsies and your personalized human rating daily free of charge? lol
I come here to practise my communication and social skills, ( I thought it would be a much gentler learning curve though) and of course all the great infotainment.

[b]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?[/b]

I write stuff on here sometimes and read it afterwards and think 'did I really say that?'; maybe I've always just lost a game of chess or something (happens a lot) but I seem to come across as some kind of sociopath. Also it gives you a chance to write complete rubbish (that would be garbage in certain parts of the world) and bore the pants (that would be underpants in certain parts of the world) off people and they have to read it because there might be something good at the end. Sorry to disappoint...See; this is what I'm talking about, did I really write this?
