That's right, answer the question (and the poll). Do you misrepresent yourself sometimes on this forum? I mean, who is going to catch you at it? Why you would bother is beyond me, but I'll make it an anonymous poll:).

Yes, wait No, yeah

Perhaps I should ask why people lie...(here)...what purpose does it serve? If I said I was a 50 year old mechanic, would I get more respect...hmmm....if only it were so easy to delete all my posts and change my stats...oh...I could create a new identity...MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

No, I don't. I want people to form opinions about me based on who i actually am, not who i pretend to be, or not to be. I know it's only an internet forum, but i still don't feel the need to lie.

No. However there are certain questions to which I don't give direct answers.

No, but theres no way to prove otherwise - so its sort of a pointless poll. :rolleyes:

Lying is just a way for insecure people to feel less insecure, cept when it all comes crashing down! THen they crash and burn! CRASH AND BURN!

:p

same here

well, i've made mention of special brownies and such from time to time, but i haven't been stoned in over a year!

my only friend around here who smokes is away in england for a year on an exchange. :( and since i don't know where to get any, or have rolling papers, or the ability to roll... or any other paraphenalia... i'm out of luck. :(

plus i don't think it would be as fun to be stoned by myself as it would to be stoned with other people.

A flat simple no. Unqualified. But then I don't lie in RL either, which kind of shocked my wife when she discovered I was serious about not lying.

What for? So that I could meet somebody here and then yell "Surprise!!!"?

I do, sometimes, argue things that I don't agree with. I don't know if that counts.

"I cannot tell a lie!"-G. Washington, and yours truely, Jonathan Waddisky!

A flat simple no. Unqualified. But then I don't lie in RL either, which kind of shocked my wife when she discovered I was serious about not lying.
Yeah, i'm often sarcastic and kid people, so people are always surprised when they find out that I don't lie to them.

i've probably misrepresented myself at one time or another, but i can't think of any examples and i know i haven't outright lied so i'm gonna say no. what's the point, it's anonymous anyway.

There is no point to lying or mispresenting in the kind of discussions that take place here.

That's right, answer the question (and the poll). Do you misrepresent yourself sometimes on this forum? I mean, who is going to catch you at it? Why you would bother is beyond me, but I'll make it an anonymous poll:).
Nope - honestly, what's the point?

I guess some people like to play different characters online, but I rather like who I am, and enjoy getting to know people from all over... and I'd rather assume that they're telling the truth too!

Perhaps I should ask why people lie...(here)...what purpose does it serve? If I said I was a 50 year old mechanic, would I get more respect...hmmm....if only it were so easy to delete all my posts and change my stats...oh...I could create a new identity...MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Um ... would that be a 50 year old female mechanic? ;)

Of course I do. Jesus.

Of course I do. Jesus.
You were lying about yourself before, and you're really Jesus?
:eek:
Wow. Can I touch you?

That's right, answer the question (and the poll). Do you misrepresent yourself sometimes on this forum? I mean, who is going to catch you at it? Why you would bother is beyond me, but I'll make it an anonymous poll:).
I don't give information about myself, so there is no opportunity to lie.

Why lie? What is the point?

I may have exaggerated a little every now and then, but on the whole, I'm mostly honest. Mostly. ;)

I honestly can't think of anything I've written here about myself that wasn't perfectly honest. I don't see much of a point in lying in general, and especially over the internet when you're talking to people you'll most likely never meet anyways.

I'm actually a 44 year old women from boise, idaho.

I swear I was telling the truth when I said that I am the head of the Illuminati and also that I have a 12 inch pecker that shoots laserbeams when I will it to do so.

Okay, I admit it: I'm a one thousand year-old Dark Lord of the Sith who has been secretly plotting to overthrow the Republic and declare myself emperor. You caught me. Red lightsaber in hand, too.

:)

I swear I was telling the truth when I said that I am the head of the Illuminati and also that I have a 12 inch pecker that shoots laserbeams when I will it to do so.
Awesome. I can see how you rose to power with an ability like that!

All my CIA stories are the truth.

It never occurred to me to be less than truthful about myself on this forum until I read the thread title.

Another missed opportunity. Alas.

Unless I'm rping, what's the point?
And rp stays in rp threads :p

Awesome. I can see how you rose to power with an ability like that!

lmfao!

No, but theres no way to prove otherwise - so its sort of a pointless poll. :rolleyes:
Exactly.

To answer fairly: No. I don't lie in real life either (except a few to save egos of friends/luverz).
Liars are the worst kind of people to me based on my whole life structure. They erode real progress for their own egos. Sad.

No. However there are certain questions to which I don't give direct answers.
Same here. I never lie, but sometimes I refuse to answer questions. Then again, living near Haifa could be conisdered a lie. Is an hours drive away considered "near"?

Just like apparently everyone else in this thread, I never tell a lie.

Everything I say is a lie...except that...and that...and that...and that...and that, and that, and that, and that...and that....

I have a rule: I only lie about things everybody knows to be false, such as the FACT that the sky is orange, and that there IS such a thing as striped/polka-dotted/plaid paint.

It never occurred to me to be less than truthful about myself on this forum until I read the thread title.

Another missed opportunity. Alas.
:p

I answered the poll according to how I've represented myself thus far. Since this is my first day on these forums, I haven't really represented anything about myself, except for my profile information, and my views on George W. Bush and the current political scene (oh, and the suckage factor of Napoleon Dynamite). And all of that has been 100% honest.

What would be the point? I enjoy the honest discussion of diverse opinions from viewpoints not generally available to me. Sure there are posers and goofballs here, but one learn over time who is who & what is what.

perhaps if i said some good or cool things about myself, i would be lying. but i have laid it bare- i am an almost 29 year old sullen sarcastic snarky chick, with a pretty sick job and sicker sense of humor. i keep screwing up relationships, and will probally die single, due to the fact i cannot commit and have too many quirks (read: im NUTS, acomplete pain in the ass). i depend on my friends to define who i am and where i am going (read: NOWHERE) in this miserable life. if i actually got a social life not based around drinking, i would most likely be a better, more productive person. but since i am stubborn, and lazy, i wont.

now i would be lying if i said i had big boobs.......

you're secretly to ultra successful old white guy from nebraska who made billions selling pork butt futures and married neurosurgeon nymphomaniac bikini model triplettes, don't lie.

I could be lying, I could be telling the truth.

No oen knows except me thanks to the anonymous nature of the internet.

Not unless you count the RP or joke threads as lying.

What would be the point. If there is something I want to keep private I just don't say it. Telling lies here makes no sense to me. Part of it is that I value honesty highly. Part of it is that I am just extremely opinionated.

now i would be lying if i said i had big boobs.......
Take it from a guy who likes small boobs -- big boobs are overrated!

But you're a Red Sox fan, right? Because if you lied about that....

But you're a Red Sox fan, right? Because if you lied about that....
i hear she secretly thinks the red sox are wicked queeer.

i hear she secretly thinks the red sox are wicked queeer.

No way, they're wicked awesome!

Lying would be utterly pointless. If I had a reason to lie, I wouldn't -be- here where I could possibly make a mistake and be honest.

And yes, small boobs are perfectly fine. All the yummiest ladies in my life are B-cups. I wouldn't -mind- C-cups, but I like the feature of "will not sag down to hips". Anything above a C-cup and, frankly, not my flavor. I can be friends, of course, and who knows what can happen, but it takes me being very short-sighted, and a gal having one serious hell of a body, and -natural- breasts, for me not to sneer at megaboobs.

That's right, answer the question (and the poll). Do you misrepresent yourself sometimes on this forum? I mean, who is going to catch you at it? Why you would bother is beyond me, but I'll make it an anonymous poll:).

I do not lie about me. Well, I am not a spearman, nor the president of a remote region. Of the others, I am clean

And yes, small boobs are perfectly fine. All the yummiest ladies in my life are B-cups.

So true. They fit the hand perfectly, too. Megaboobs are too much, it's a waste of flesh unless you like the idea of being smothered in gigantic boobs. Sounds like a Freudian thing to me though.

Yes I have lied... :D at least once...

No, I'm enough of an ass. I feel no need to lie about my being an ass, and trying to pretend I'm not would fail all too soon. ;)

I simply see no need to lie on this forum, I'm here for things that need no falsehood for me to express. Policy discussions are hard enough to understand without lying about my credentials or my understanding of issues. I don't have a puppet nation for flaming or pretending, such things do not interest me either.

Sheesh, I'm boring AND I'm an ass!

So true. They fit the hand perfectly, too. Megaboobs are too much, it's a waste of flesh unless you like the idea of being smothered in gigantic boobs. Sounds like a Freudian thing to me though.

Ah, yes. Um. Hands. I put them in my hands. Yeah. *coughs*

Alright I admit, my boops are small. :(

Not only do I refuse to tell you, you will never know... You only know what you see of me...

Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no........damned if I know ^_~

Never needed to lie, I've withheld information for the protection of myself or others, but never had to lie.

Lying is a pain anyways, my mind is cluttered up enough without having to remember lies and who I told them to.

Besides the truth is usually harder to believe, at least concerning my life.

as for me, i dont lie online, its pretty pointless. i do embellish alittle in real life, from time to time. online anonymity is great.

(snip)

are you lying about being a sullen, sarcastic, snarky chick? cause thats cool, my favorite type of women. as for you "sick" job, i have been looking for colleges that teach it because it could be something i would enjoy, and your among the funniest people i know on nation states. i think you are interesting, and your friends have nothing to do with that. your quirk (at least the ones i know) are all interesting, and you can never have too many. stubborn and laziness arent always bad things, they can be really helpful.

p.s. - big boobs are overrated, they annoying, saggy and just plain unattractive. plus i hear alot of women say that they're painful.

I do tend to lie to people about who I really am on most forums. Part of the reason is that I rarely ever post photographs and secondly I tend to create a fake persona independent of who I really am, especially in RPs.

That's right, answer the question (and the poll). Do you misrepresent yourself sometimes on this forum? I mean, who is going to catch you at it? Why you would bother is beyond me, but I'll make it an anonymous poll:).
oddly enough, i don't. now that i think about it, there's really no reason to be honest around here, since nobody would ever know, and it's likely that most people are lying to me on these forums. i guess i just don't like trying to keep lies straight in my head...it's easier to tell the truth, and i am about the laziest person alive.

I don't lie ... well maybe in NS and II :eek: :) :D

No. I have nothing to lie about. And i'm not very good at story-telling.

Nope, I don't.

I"m not really a sugar frosted zombie...its really Sweet-&-Low. :(

What you read is what you get, with me. Sorry to disappoint.

*oils muscles and crowbars genitals into Armani jeans* ;)

I"m not really a sugar frosted zombie...its really Sweet-&-Low. :(

haaaaaaaahahahahahahahahah (sorry, for those of you who dont know - i refuse to use the "lol" and "rofl" kinda internet lingo.)

unless you were somehow being serious, in which case - ah cheer up, its pretty much the same thing

No.

That's right, answer the question (and the poll). Do you misrepresent yourself sometimes on this forum?

Nah ... people misrepresent themselves in order to lift up themselves from the truth of their useless lives and show other people how "cool" they are. To lie about myself would imply that I actually gave a damn what you people think.

I can't be bothered to come up with an alternate persona online simply for the purpose of debate. I give my opinions and as little identifying personal information as possible.

Have I messed with people's heads once or twice? Maybe...

But essentially everyone here knows the basics of who I am and what my opinions are without my finding any need to resort to subterfuge.

Heh heh heh! You're a regular laugh riot, you are. ;)

I don't lie about who I am or what I think, but I do see a difference between the internet "me", and the real life "me" (not just here, over all of my internet interactions)...

And upon closer inspection, it appears that the one that's the "lie" is the real life me...lol I think I'm more myself on the internet than I am in real life...

Probably due to the barriers that life sometimes necessitates, which can be completely dropped on the net... I don't have to moderate myself or pretend on here... I can be completely honest, without holding back as much as I do in real life...

It's a really interesting sort of thing to think about...

Yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but what happened was that shelley thompson right well she was well bitchy about sharon right you know sharon the one we all watched getting it behind Kwik Save that time well she says that steves got a little willy. True fact.



*cough SPAM cough* I don't lie on this forum. I can't, people know me.

Why should i lie? I surely got enough self-esteem that i dont need a bunch of strangers to admire me for my lies.

That's going to confuse anybody who hasn't seen Little Britain... :)

By the way, I never lie about myself on the forum. I tend to be selectively truthful, though.

I think I must have lied about the size of my breasts on occasion.

One person voted yes. I hope it's not Aerou. :(

you're secretly to ultra successful old white guy from nebraska who made billions selling pork butt futures and married neurosurgeon nymphomaniac bikini model triplettes, don't lie.
as for me being an old white guy...my pic is on here. as for the triplets, they got their surgical training in mexico..does that count? any one want to buy some pork? anyone?

I"m not really a sugar frosted zombie...its really Sweet-&-Low.

haaaaaaaahahahahahahahahah (sorry, for those of you who dont know - i refuse to use the "lol" and "rofl" kinda internet lingo.)

And I'm less fattening than the other sugary undead people. :D

BIG sigh. the good ones are always young......


But you're a Red Sox fan, right? Because if you lied about that.... listen, i dont even know 10 facts about baseball, but i am loyal to a fault when it comes to ANYTHING Boston.

No, but I do withhold things. Sometimes it's becuase of privacy, security, or legal concerns (I'll never admit to that murder in texas last year openly), sometimes they are intentionally lies of omission.

Bah dum bump CHING!

Thank you folks! We'll be here all week.

Be sure to tip your wait staff. Remember, it's a job not a hobby.

That's right, answer the question (and the poll). Do you misrepresent yourself sometimes on this forum? I mean, who is going to catch you at it? Why you would bother is beyond me, but I'll make it an anonymous poll:).
NO! Why should I? Since no matter what I say it is not believed. Or if it is believed then the person reading it rejects me out of hand.(see low self esteem thread)

Lying will not pay off in the long run. Sooner or later you're found out.

No. I tell the truth about myself when I'm being serious. I only lie to be funny, and I assume most people know when I'm doing that, like the post about me sodomizing a 7/11 clerk while eating a Big Bite hotdog and wearing pasties with propellers on them. If there's something I don't want to share I don't lie, I just don't post it.

No, I don't lie about myself here, hence the reason why I am boaring.


Very very boaring...

No, I don't lie about myself here, hence the reason why I am boaring.

hunh!!!

Actually, the only fib I tell on a regular basis revolves around my location. I do this to throw off anybody who might be trying to track me down after my last daring escape. :)

Ah, who am I kidding. YOu want to know who I REALLY am?

I'm a 16 year old nerd and child prodigy that recently graduated from college. I am now the world's youngest CPA and I'm neither married nor have a child. I have a mild form of OCD that makes me an unbelievable neatfreak. I actually iron my ties before I put them in the laundry! I have never done anything exciting in my life and will probably leap from a high building to my demise by the time I'm thirty. What little life I have is here on the forums where under the guise of a bizarre, scatterbrained and freewheeling lunatic I find a little joy in an otherwise dull existence.

Please allow me my tiny fragment of joy and play along. :)

as for me being an old white guy...my pic is on here. as for the triplets, they got their surgical training in mexico..does that count? any one want to buy some pork? anyone?
checked out your pics, you look white enough to join our leo felton norse by adoption bezerker brigades. what do you say my aryan sister?

leo was an aryan but adoption of complex lineage, why not you.(i've often wondered if he would have had to consider his white girlfriend a race traitor though, these questions can become extremely complex. i guess since we consider him an adopted aryan he can date all the white girls he wants, you too if you join, or white guys or whatever.)

Why bother lying? NS is one place I can totally be myself. In RL you have to be nice to people to get along. Bosses,neighbors(don't really want my tires slashed) and some of my relatives. Some people I just keep my mouth shut around. I'd like to be myself all the time, but sometimes it's just easier to keep quiet. Not that I'm unwilling to open my mouth if it really matters to me.

honestly, what is there to lie about? unless you know someone personally here

No, it seems kind of pointless. But there are some things that I won't give a direct answer to.
