Seriously, I'm reading some of this crap and I just don't get it. "I made a lower out of bamboo" or "I served in Iraq and shot this guy on full auto from 100 yds and hit with every shot."
Are people so lonely they need attention from others on a message board? (I realize how contradictory this is me starting a post about attention-mongering, but I'm just trying to procrastinate writing my IR 301 exam). Seriously though - I have video games, movies and of course my evil black rifle if I want to escape into fantasy land. I just don't understand why people feel the need to make up BS to impress other people sitting infront of their computers who they will probably never see. To top it off, their BS usually stinks so bad they can't even cover it up with bad grammar and lousy spelling. Have any studies ever been done on this phenomenon? |

I have a friend that lies about the most trivial things. Lying is second nature to him and he thinks nothing of it. Maybe some of these people are the same.
|
|
Yeah... well, I taught a dog to smoke cigarettes. And he LIKES it!

I love how some of these "internet gun experts" post how this gun or that gun is a pos. Most of it is just some BS they read somewhere else, probably by someone that don't even own the gun they are talking about.

My bladder is soo freakin powerful I pissed into a 55mph wind to put out a forest fire in Kuwait.
|
|
Yeah, Glocks suck! CW |
|

To get their post counts up, of course. How do you think all those guys get 10000+ post counts?
BTW, did I ever tell you about the time I built a nuclear submarine with toothpicks and bubble gum? |

I have my *own* personal saviors, I change 'em every hour, I don't give a fuck if there's life after death, I want to know if there's even any god damn *Slack* after death! I have a triple nose, I was sired by the Anti-Virgin, give me *all* your Slack! I'm *fuel-injected*! They say a godzillion is the highest number there is. Well by God! I count to a godzillion and *one*! Come *on* and give me cancer, I'll spit up the tumor and butter my *bread* with the juice! I've packed the brownies of the space monsters, I leak the Plague from my brows, opiates are the *mass* of my religion, *I wipe the *Pyramids* off my shoes before I enter *my* house!* My droppings bore through the earth and erupt *volcanoes* in *the Atlantis Zoo*!
Praise Bob and stamp out the Pink. |

Toothpicks and bubble gum? Amatuer. I built an aircraft carrier out of compost and urine. |
|
|
LOL |
|
|
I've known people like that too. And then they wonder why you double check everything they do, and why you don't trust them with anything.... |
|
|
LOL! You gave me my first good laugh after a hell of a work week! Catch that perfect cosmic wave surf brother. |

I like pie. +1. IBTL. I'd hit it. Stuff it in her pooper and post pics. Free Imbroglio.
Just because you are aware of the irony of your post doesn't justify it. If ya don't like it............. |
|
Because people want to feel important. People feel that if people notice them they are great and powerful and most importanly, important. This is the same reson people have troll acounts. They are so pitiful they beleive that if they lie to people they will never meet there life will have improved.

I once jumped started my battery with bird feces and spit!
Just remember that every one cannot be a high speed low drag operator like you! |
|
Eh, it was just practice. One of my real projects was building a stupidity reverser (out of bubble wrap and Wolf ammo). I hooked it up to the State of California, and wound up with the Starship Enterprise. |

Are you talking about the 'Gun Show SEALS' or the Mall Ninja's?

Ooooo. Sounds enthralling. Kinda like my internal combustion engine that runs on eyelashes. I can't let anyboyd know about it. Crap... nevermind last sentence. |

I took out a squirrel at 5,000 meters in a high wind with iron sights on my Daisy red ryder before I shot my eye out
I did this when I was a SEAL in 1988 |
|
Yeah, so what? |

I think it's also important to consider the OTHER SIDE of this "phenomenon"
Absolutely, there are a bunch of posers on this site, ranging from those who try to invent a completely fictional fantasy persona on the internet, to the people who just lie about a particular thing (like serving in the military, or in an elite units), to people that just have strong opinions about things they don't know much about. However, it's also worth remembering that there are TONS of people here with really diverse and fascinating backgrounds - and the range of amazing things that members on this site have experience are no doubt quite unbelievable at times. I mean - I've never told a lie on this site - but how unlilkely do some of the things I claim sound??? .. I mean, who really believes I'm NOT Dutch . |

Or that you don't wear wooden shoes. But oyur point is weel taken. |

Did I mention I created projectiles powered by CFCs from hairspary cans? |

Drugs. We post bullshit because of drugs.

This thread is great, by the way I made a rocket ship out of 100mph tape and snot, flew it to the moon and back. the moon is really made of green cheese,yea know.

This is all very interesting. Did I ever tell you guys about the time at band camp when I was standing behind Cabin 9, knee-deep in grenade pins?
|

This is what I hate about what has become of arfcom. People can't get a straight answer anymore. AdrianUSP9 came here looking for an answer to a very interesting question and I swear this is what goes through peoples mind.

I made two lowers out of aluminum and shot Iraqis with cruise missles and cannons before the GWI ... and though not a Navy SEAL I was a Master Chief!
I suppose there's people here who just haven't had the experences so they make them up. |
|
Their mothers didn't breast feed them so they suck off the arfcom tit. That or bad weed.
