Don't follow suspicious forum links.
But, seriously, I was reading a few posts on here and it came to me exactly how different I am since I actually started seriously using the internet about three years ago. I’ve gone through a few “circles” of internet life and in most of the places I’ve gone, I’ve learned something (even if it was only “don’t follow suspicious forum links” :) ). Even here. In my (admittedly limited) experience, forums generally attract a large crop of idiots and a tiny number of idiot-handlers. This place actually seems to have intelligent life (or at least fairly inaudible unintelligent life). Thanks for the thought-provoking (like “What the Rest of the World Thinks of America”) and not-so thought-provoking (…) threads and posts. And it’s interesting to know what people older (and presumably wiser) than I think of the world. As 16-year-old girls and men and women in their 20’s/30’s/40’s/etc don’t really move in the same social groups, I don’t think I could have gotten it elsewhere. So, anyway, to end this post, thanks internet. For not letting school get in the way of my education. :)
