But you go off on some of these threads - on what people make - age - degree- etc- location, and its all obviously fabricated and completely false - even sometimes they create future threads (weeks later) about getting a job offer...on a totally different occupation, even magically they recieved a different degree throughout the coursework of there college career...

Seriously people, why? Are you that insecure that if you think if people across on some random web forum are impressed by your e-penis and fabricated persona that you created, that you can sleep better at night?

Sorry - bad day, and oh - you guys can flame on me if you want. Don't care - underpaid and overworked and live in the midwest (North Dakota, and make 45k/yr) by "some" peoples standards on this board - I am scum.


Anonymity + teh interweb = makes people complete fvcktards.

i don't think most people lie here, because there are far too many sleuths who would call them on it.

while some i am sure are lieing. i mean how many 25 yr olds are really makeing $250+ a year? also in some cases such as PAB its just to unbeleivable.

but other then that i belive everyone until shown i shouldnt believe them.


sigh with my memory problems there is no way i can lie. i would forget what i said and screw it up. lol

anyway when you are as good looking and well built as i am you don't need to lie!

agreed, why waste the energy to lie to people I hardly know. I'd rather use it to lie to people I do know...like my wife.

I've never discussed my income, or anything particular to who I am in that way. I don't come here to brag, so there's no need for me to give that info.

I've never embelished anything I've said here before, nor do I intend to.

Of course people lie, it's the internet.
But I think it generally comes across what is truthful and what isn't.

He's wealthy beyond reproach, yet he gets mad when his Father won't file taxes and therefore he can't apply for Student Aid!
Posts that he unknowingly bought an expensive Mustang, even posted pics (?). When he was called, he posted yet another pic of an "Open Title", WITH THE NAMES BLACKED OUT!

The sad part is, seems that most ATOTers take him seriously!

You should have just linked to the scroll. It would have been easier than listing everything again.

As for me, I have no reason to lie here.
