My Friend Is A ****en Idiot Please Save His Life

My friend a person on the forum, is going to do a very stupid thing. Can you reason with him, i've tried my hardest and he is still stubborn please help me.

This is the situation.

My "friend" meets a girl on the internet, now his going to some place called "Abbotville" to meet her. He has never seen her. I've told him to read the newspaper because there is cases like this where a people meet ova the internet and the other side is actually a pedo etc... please reason with him.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.

Hey Peter! You met up with me and Pilot. We were people off the internet.

Although, yeah ... unfortunately there are a lot of cases out there that are pretty bad. It gives the decent meetings a bad name. Probably why we had so many problems trying to get people to meet us on the OddTour.

Hehe, yeah I was talking to Josh about that very fact today. I trusted you because I knew I could. I knew I could trust you both, as you had been to OWI and all. Alf, Lorne and Sherry knew you. So I didn't think you would be someone preying on innocent (okay, maybe not innocent ) kids.

However, talking to Josh it sounds as if this was a MSN fling that "just happened". You know, where someone you don't know suddenly adds you to their MSN contact list.

well, what i have to say to ya mate: Never try this stuff. You never know anything about these people. For all i know Alcar might be the person who gave inspiration to Micheal Jackson. And i dont want to even get started on hobo. So i'm guessing is Heretic.

Dont do it mate, ya never know what might happen.

I don't see the tragicness...

If he does go. And its not dangerous. Then fine. He's happy. He's met someone. And he's boogie-ing wildly.

If he does go. And it is dangerous. Then fine. He's not happy. He's dead. And he's buried...someplace. Not only that but you get to be on the news AND go to a funeral. Whats the commotion!?

Sometimes i wish i had feelings for other people than myself...

Sometimes i wish i wasn't a pathological liar...

Yeah, ya got to be careful with those internet people. I hear so many stories on people getting rapped or killed.....or maybe those are just the only stories I hear on the subject? Do you ever see anything on the news that says, "Boy meets internet Girl in person and she's not a psycho!"

heh, funny post oddguy.

Anyway, I'll talk him out of it. Just blindfold him and give me ten minutes with him. *cracks knuckles*

But seriously, if you REALLY want to go, there are a few things to do first.

1) Call them. This is almost a sure way of finding out who they are. If they refuse the call, then say "f*** off pedaphile" and leave. If they do allow you to call, then confirm the following:

- They are of the desired sex (unless he/she is a transexual in which case I can't help you since they can sound like a woman but be a man)

- Listen to the voice carefully and confirm a rough age. Usually, you should be able to tell the difference between an adult/teen/child.

If they give you a false number, tell them to f*** off and leave.

2) When you make arrangements for a meeting, make sure it is a very public place. If it is not, then forget about it and go to the fair or something to find true love.

3) If you make the final decision to go, try to get someone to go with you if you are not completely sure...

OR Carry a weapon (though this may not be possible if going overseas)

In short I'll just say, try to find true love by going OUT of the house first before resorting to the shady world of internet dating over MSN chatrooms.

What he said.


Anyway, I've actually met someone in person that I first knew off the net. It was a while back.
*blurry flashback sequence with weird music*
It was the year 2000 in the summer of love.....I was 13, young and desperate. I met this chick on the net and we talked a while about meeting. Finally, she came to my home town and we met for the first time when she strolled into my office. I mean, forget that last part.
*end of flashback*
Anywho, I talked to her on zee phone before I actually met her in person, so I knew she wasn't crazy. Plus her mummy called and talked to my Dad and all that blah blah, so I was safe.

The End.

Okay, just hassle the hell out of him. Tell him he's sad for having to meet someone on the internet, and if he still wants to go, say you give up, and give him some vasoline, and tell him he'll need it if the meeting goes bad.
If you catch my drift.

We became really good friends until one of my aquantences told her that I said she was my girlfriend. For some reason that pissed her off and we don't talk anymore. I'm okay.

aww poor oddguy

I agree with Canned Gabbiar.
I think its important to take a friend along, and if the date seems okay, the friend can go away or just peek behind a corner...

A realistic looking BB Gun would be a quick fix if he really insists on going.

Ultimately, if he gets there and see's some geeky looking guy instead of some girl I think he'll get the message on what is actually going on...

Aww, Im sorry man. I dont really like when people say stuff like that and it gets you in trouble with your good friends that are girls. Especially, when they say stuff that oh "he" or "she" thinks your more than just friends. It can get pretty tiresome and annoying after a while.

It was such long time ago......I'm sooo over it. I was really annoyed at the time though. And the jerk who told her what I supposedly said was someone I barely knew.......he was less than an aquantence becuase I didn't even know the dude's name. I mentally remembered his as "dead eyes child," because his eyes were cloudy and weird......he looked like he was a zombie.

Haven't heard from "this guy" in a while, so I don't know what's going on. Not been on MSN, which is totally out of character

Hah, like you allow anybody to get into the social position to spread such lies about you, Oddguy. *Tuts* I would have ripped him apart...verbally of course.

Which reminds me, i dislike Muffies [Hetero guys]. Me and James were kissing in this nightclub thing and this Muffy got all "Rarrr". Eventually i told him were to go, but seriously, what a thilly perthon. Its not as if i go around coming down on their kind if i see a lil' Hetro activity going on...no, i just accept it, have a giggle and walk off.

I've decided, no more kissing guys unless im in a Fag club...

Chain the friggin' dumbass down pronto. There have been a couple of really sick mofos who use chat to molest, rape, or torture people to death. Stateside a serial killer that I can't remember the name of used it to abduct, sexually torture, and then killed dozens of people. Do everything you can to stop your buddy, his ass is on the line.

Once again, you've responded to a thread that ended ages ago.

Stop trying to increase your post count like this, or I'll alert the administrators.
