Actual thread...

I am hoping this isa hoax... UK people let me know, because the link doesn't go directly to BBC, so I'm hoping it's not real.

I dont think this is real AT LEAST I HOPE ITS NOT!

The reason why I dont think it is is because a friend of mine sent me a news item from the BBC with all the BBC fonts and headings and it was a complete hoax story he had made up,which I fell for, for about 5 minutes.

Somehow he had managed to doctor an existing story using some software or other to make it look completely authentic.

Its gotten to the point where I dont/cant believe anything I read on the net unless I also see on the news or read in a newspaper myself.

Having said all that I still hope to Good God that this story is a fake.


I aint asking for nothing,just open the door and i\'ll take it myself-James Brown.

I had dinner a couple of years ago with a woman I used to work with. She told me she had let someone use her computer and he was on some message board for a while and then he got up and started kicking her computer. She told him to stop and asked why he was doing that. Apparently someone insulted him on the board. Kicking the computer must have hurt them real bad.

She put his A$$ out.

I'd sooner shoot them than kick the computer. blkdevillol

Lol, its sad, but its kind of funny that people take the internet and other things like that so seriously. To kill someone over an argument on a message board or chatroom is crazy. I seen similair stuff happen on telephone chatlines, people getting murdered, raped and robbed but the internet? Some people do be unreasonably mean and rude. Sometimes people will come out they face and say some old next shit when you didnt even say nothing to them, and a person thats already crazy is going to snap. That dude probably had no life or real friends and just stayed at home online day in and day out for him to take it that serious.


To believe is to have doubt and no facts but to know is to have facts and no doubt.
