No nerve struck on this end ...was just courious..

And no one is doubting what a loving person you are.

I wasn't questioning how much you love your family or friends..was just courious about your reasons for being on a online site if you're happy and satisified at home..You're very lucky.

I'd say and it's jmo that many are on here to fill a void in their lives..either they are isolated from their family and friends because of work, school or whatever and are lonely and want to make new friends.

I appreciate the online people I meet. Some I think are funny, some stuck up, but then , there are the ones who have offered friendship. And that friendship has turned out to be real and valuable to me.

I know of no one on this site who would say that they "love' anyone in a 'lets live together forever" kind of love..but there are many on here that actually love their friends and are there for them.

I am extremely extremely lucky

not filling any void

just like to throw my 2pennies in all over

how come noone else says how much they love their real life freinds and family

just wondering?

They will either become combative or make jokes but noone even says "I love and adore my family and freinds here at home?"

not trying to argue. I really wonder. The % of people who do is quite small

are people really filling a void?? That was a great observation because I think your right

I know there are homebound people who have this as their only tool to form social circles

but what about the norm

is it just an easier way to not have to deal with developing human contact!!

If the question was asked

would you rather sit with me and talk over coffee or type to me

what would peoples answers be??

This could be debated for hours ( thank god for high school debate!)

Well I can only speak for myself but honestly I would rather sit across the table from you than type, but thats not possible.
So I guess this is the next best thing.
I first started on here to meet a man, but then after a long time joined the forums. Now talking to my friends has become my priority and meeting someone secondary.
I do love my family very much, my kids are my life. But I have lost most of my sibilings ,so I don't have much in the way of family to draw on any more.

No, I don't have the time or desire to debate with you..I was courious about something and I made it known..asked and answered.

This is the sentence I had in mind when I asked the question.

"online people are just that. Online people. I like most of them but god not love them "


Sorry, jmo...but it reads like Online people aren't worth the trouble it would take to know them...not just sound superior to them.

If I struck a nerve, I'm sorry...my curosity sometimes gets me in trouble.flowerforyou No harm meant.

Haha in no way whatsoever did ya strike a nerve (thanks though)

well I'm totaly honest and most of the time quite blunt

Lex once said to me: "you say what has to be said" and most of the time I do and have just as many people Not like me than do!! Haha

and for me yes ( don't take offense please!) most online people are not really worth knowing. I like to sit and watch the different personalities float across my screen some are so easy to figure. Some so complex

sometimes my friends or family will sit here watching the forums just as a formoentertainment is all!

You did take the online sentence wrong. A little to personaly I think but that was your inner feelings it touched and you ran with it I was only voicing my own opinion. Never really thought it would offend another

Thank you BettyB for being so open and explaining your position. It clarifies your position and clearly explains why you are here. I thank you!

So the debate ends

it was good as most are here

I send only love :heart:

I certainly hope you, your family, and friends enjoy the entertainment the forums hold for you..as you watch thoughts and feelings unfold here online....and no I don't take it personally, I know who is sincere and who to avoid, because they are so phoney they make you laugh at them.

Geez it must be nice to have a long and glorious list of loving family and great friends who entertain themselves by making sport of others peoples thoughts and feelings drifting across a computer screen.

And hear I sit with my only hope for pleasure, lacking such well mannered upscale companions, is the thought of sitting on the couch in my underwear watching the Super Bowl and sucking down a couple of cold ones, alone.

Well online is a form of entertainment

just another form in this age of technology

sort of like a reality show you would watch on tv

you watch for the entertainment factor

and we all have our own form of entertainent which we enjoy

weather it be

Sports
music
watching people on various sites

I never put down others for what they do or the foRm of entertainment they enjoy

I love this site cause I'm free to be me on it and I can watch others do the same!

I always respect those who's opinions are diff than mine
why in the world would I. There's no reason we are free to debate

alot. Yea. Alot here have opinions who don't click with mine but that's ok

and if ya like watching tv in your underwear

go for it!!!!:heart: this is all. Just my opinion. And I thank God I can voice them!!!:heart:
