Thread: Fear?

It seems many members of the forum do not specify their actual physical location, i.e. country, state, hometown, but use metaphoric expressions instead, if you please?
Why do you all think this is?
Is this more true with Russian members?
Is this a relic of USSR paranoia?
Or is this simply a convenience of internet anonymity?
What are your thoughts?
I myself, specified my location as USA, only because I did not think that foreigners [Russians] would discern or appreciate much difference among American localities.
This query is sincere, not meant to instigate animosity.

I think its just because its the internet, and because nobody really cares.

Mine used to be Фобля. Its a River in western russia, which, sounds a lot like... other russian words.

Now its "First" to signify to others, that I am in 1st place with posts, and that i am just 'that' cool.

I doubt Russians are afriad to show you where they live, Russians, generally, arn't afriad of anything. Its a trait that flows in their battle hardened, victory accustomed vains. The majority of Russians, on this forum at least, Probly have a better understanding of american geography than you'd think..

So im going to go ahead and answer for all of us when i say, Non of your reasons, its just for fun.

paranoia?

Lol that's funny.

+1. It's teh Internets. Nobody cares, h4x0r! I never realized that фобля was an actual name though -- I'd have thought what you obviously did. Опа, Бл*дь!

peep this shizz yo!!

sorry my mistake its вобля, even better!

Я например, скрываю свое местоположение, потому что в противоположенном случае буду немедленно арестован кровавой гэбней за общение с иностранцами. И пишу я этот пост, между прочим, тщательно заглушив клавиатуру ватой и занавесив окна двумя занавесками, дабы меня не выдал отблеск моего монитора.
Знаете ли вы что только за прошлый год в моем городе за хранение валюты и выспрашивание жувачки у Американцев было расстреляно 84 человека, а по некоторым данным 102?

ВЕЗДЕ ФСБ. НАМ НЕГДЕ ПРЯТАТЬСЯ... даже мы разведчики в америке...

Actually, in the beginning we all had our locations posted, but then we got used to hanging out here and felt the need to update our profile to make it more colorful. For example, Barmbie had St. Louis in his location for ever, but now that everyone knows it he has tried to be funny and put something utterly ridiculous in the "location" box.

It is all healthy psycology.

O RLY? I don't recall ever being in Saint Louie Louie. Methinks you've been smoking the reefer. I've been many other places though. Haven't been to Вобля yet though. But aside from your appalling lack of memory, you're point is right. I do try to add ridiculous locations just for sh*ts and giggles. Like for instance look at my location now...mwhahahahaha

Yes, when there are 6800 people on a site, it's not unlikely that one of them is from a major metropolitian area... I'm sorry, I'm just feeling mean tonight!

Now I remember, it was td2kfe! Your screen names are so similar!!!!

I enjoyed your post. Siriusly.

Кто тут агент кровавой гэбни?

Что до меня - я проездом на этой планете. Судьба занесла меня в Россию.

Может быть, мне пора уже признаться? Виноватая я: не так давно случайно удалила огромную тему (10+ страниц) "Кто, где, откуда?" Должна была удалить какой-то пост, но кликнула не туда, куда надо было.
Давайте заведём такую тему заново.

ты что сделала??? мои самые лучшие посты были там... они были счастливые, невиновные... мои звезды юности!!!
