Is it me or am I the only one who finds it a little weird that people tend to give personal insight to their lives on these threads too much. I know its anonymous and all, but still thats what face-book is for. I just think that they are pretty much nonsense in the first place, some of these stories seem very far-fetched and I don't mean to sound like an anti-social kid who has no "stories" to share, I guess I might be more private then others.

But does anyone else feel these personal thread are pretty much pointless, because when you look at it, by the end of the day how can you really "share" that experience, I mean we all have a life and although while some may be interesting I just think no one can really relate to your story, seeing as how they weren't there, you know like an inisde joke.

Any one else agree?

This also happens in the Real World, you can hate all you like, but you can't change it unless your name is Lenin or Stalin.

Well, I see what you mean, but when someone thinks that it is good to share the life experience online and maybe can get some helpful advice, then that´s not too bad in the end.

I feel safer giving out personal information on Newgrounds than I do on Facebook.

I guess I don't go to Facebook that much so I couldn't tell but I rarely see lengthy stuff there. I think this is probably a good thing because this makes it so that we have a lot more of an ongoing community than other websites. 4chan and SomethingAwful are highly reverred because of how many people are communicating with each other, so it would only fit that we would follow along those lines sometime or other.
