(10:48:35) <04@Arab> du u and becky no each other irl jordan?
(10:48:44) <04@Jparker> Nope.
(10:48:49) <04@Jparker> I wish,
(10:48:51) <04@Jparker> ;<
(10:48:55) <04@Arab> lul
(10:49:19) <04@Jess[Away]> "Irl".
(10:49:22) <04@Jess[Away]> I hate that.
(10:49:28) <04@Arab> Why?
(10:49:43) <04@Jess[Away]> It's stupid to say
(10:49:56) <04@Arab> As are all acronyms
(10:49:58) <04@Arab> point?
(10:50:15) <04@Jess[Away]> Then think about it?
(10:50:26) <04@Jess[Away]> And don't be rude, there's no point in that
(10:50:40) <04@Arab> I just fail to see your point
(10:50:44) <04@Arab> i wanted to know what it was
(10:51:38) <04@Jess[Away]> It's stupid to say "Irl", just because you're doing/saying something on the internet doesn't mean you're in another dimension or so
(10:51:56) <04@Arab> Theres a difference between the internet and real life
(10:52:05) <04@Arab> or can you not distinguish between the two?
(10:52:07) <04@Jess[Away]> Not really =\
(10:52:18) <04@Jess[Away]> Wow.
(10:52:19) <04@Arab> Sigh
(10:52:34) <04@Jess[Away]> It's just like saying if you meet someone on the internet or "irl".
(10:52:40) <04@Jess[Away]> There's no difference, honestly.
(10:52:49) <04@Arab> God, you ARE stupid
(10:52:58) <04@Jess[Away]> Oh? Why's that?
(10:53:09) <04@Arab> Because you can't KNOW anyone over the internet
(10:53:35) <04@Jess[Away]> Don't you dare ever tell me that just because you meet a friend through the internet it means that they can't possibly mean as much to you as your friends who you met in person. I don't want to hear "you never really met them" or "how do you know they're not lying?" or "don't get so close until you meet them face to face". That's crap, plain and simple. People are people, whether you meet them through a screen name or a smile, and you can still become ju
(10:53:55) * No open sockets
(10:54:00) <04@Jess[Away]> That might have cutoff.
(10:54:03) <04@Jparker> "and you can still become ju"
(10:54:07) <04@Arab> ^
(10:54:15) <04@Jess[Away]> become just as close to them as anyone else in the world.
(10:54:19) <04@Arab> Heh
(10:54:26) <04@Arab> Life must be fun for you then,
(10:54:42) <04@Jess[Away]> What's that suppose to mean?
(10:54:46) <04@Jess[Away]> I have "no life"?
(10:54:51) <04@Arab> nope
(10:54:57) <04@Jess[Away]> Then what.
(10:54:59) <04@Arab> just that ignorance is bliss.
(10:55:10) <04@Arab> Therefore, your life must be fun because you live in eternal bliss
(10:55:15) <04@Jess[Away]> What do you mean
(10:55:23) <04@Jess[Away]> Eternal bliss of what?
(10:55:34) <04@Arab> Fine, ill rephrase
(10:55:38) <04@Arab> You're ignorant
(10:56:00) <04@Arab> That simple enough?
(10:56:14) <04@Jess[Away]> How am I ignorant?
(10:56:38) <04@Arab> If you think that you can appreciate and know someone through the internet as well as real life
(10:56:41) <04@Arab> you're ignorant
(10:56:48) <04@Jess[Away]> You can.
(10:56:56) <04@Arab> No you can't
(10:56:59) <04@Jess[Away]> I'm not saying that you can for each and every person
(10:57:02) <04@Arab> you appreciate and like the IDEA of someone
(10:57:13) <04@Jess[Away]> Just because you can't doesn't mean that I can't/couldn't
(10:57:29) <04@Arab> you like the IDEA of what that person is/does
(10:57:32) <04@Arab> not the actual person
(10:57:43) <04@Jess[Away]> That doesn't make too much sense
(10:57:58) <04@Arab> thanks for reinforcing my earlier points
(10:58:04) <04@Jess[Away]> I met Jeff through the internet through a mutual friend
(10:58:28) <04@Arab> met him in real life?
(10:58:32) <04@Jess[Away]> And we've met "irl" before, to actually see if we liked each other the way that we did on the phone and such
(10:58:35) <04@Jess[Away]> And we do.
(10:58:52) <04@Jess[Away]> I just said it. Read before asking things, please.
(10:59:04) <04@Arab> [12:56:59] <@Arab> met him in real life?
(10:59:05) <04@Arab> [12:57:03] <@Jess[Away]> And we've met "irl" before, to actually see if we liked each other the way that we did on the phone and such
(10:59:09) <04@Arab> Learn to read, please
(10:59:15) <04@Jess[Away]> Line before it.
(10:59:18) <04@Jess[Away]> Line before it.
(10:59:25) <04@Arab> [12:56:28] <@Arab> thanks for reinforcing my earlier points
(10:59:25) <04@Arab> [12:56:35] <@Jess[Away]> I met Jeff through the internet
(10:59:35) <04@Arab> through the internet, gf
(10:59:36) <04@Jess[Away]> through the internet
(10:59:41) <04@Jess[Away]> So?
(10:59:48) <04@Jess[Away]> Read the whole thing.
(10:59:54) <04@Arab> the internet is not real life
(11:00:30) <04@Arab> End of story.
(11:01:01) <04@Jess[Away]> I never said it was.. But just because you have a screen to give you anonymousity doesn't mean that you can't connect the two
(11:01:28) <04@Jess[Away]> Then if the internet and "irl" aren't connected, why do people get in trouble for looking at child porn and such?
(11:01:41) <04@Arab> there are these things called Laws...
(11:01:45) <04@Jess[Away]> What's wrong with doing that if the internet isn't connected to "irl"?
(11:01:57) <04@Arab> When did i say it wasnt connected
(11:02:02) <04@Arab> I just said the internet isnt real life
(11:02:07) <04@Jess[Away]> Why make those laws if the internet and "irl" aren't connected then?
(11:02:16) <04@Arab> WHEN did i say they werent connected
(11:03:06) <04@Jess[Away]> They are interealiated, meaning that they can be closely considered to be one or the other.
(11:03:23) <04@Arab> Interealiated?
(11:04:09) <04@Jess[Away]> *Interrelated
(11:04:28) <04@Arab> So what you're implying is that Real Life and the Internet are the same?
(11:05:25) <04@Jess[Away]> At times, why else would people get in trouble for illegal activities, or fall in love with another person on dating sites and such?
(11:05:56) <04@Arab> On the first. Because there are laws. On the Second. Because they're stupid
(11:06:56) <04@Jess[Away]> Why are there laws over a thing such as the internet like if you do something wrong on the internet, why do you get in trouble as much as you would if you did it "irl"?
(11:07:35) <04@Jess[Away]> And how is it stupid to fall in love with someone just because you met through a screenname instead of a traditional smile?
(11:07:47) <04@Arab> Because you dont know who they are
(11:08:19) <04@Jess[Away]> I'll agree that I wouldn't, and don't, trust 95% of the people online that I meet.
(11:08:30) <04@Barca`> Jparker or Arab
(11:08:34) <04@Arab> WHAT
(11:08:35) <04@Jess[Away]> But the other 5% make it worth to keep connecting to the internet.
