So....its reported that Internet Surfing ..
 

....can make you depressed? Anyone agree?

Facebook / Bebo / chat rooms / friends reunited...I must admit I have a facebook page which I log in most nights but more or less to catch up with actual mates whO i am seening or random chit chat with mates over the pond..............I am not addicted, I tend to long in at work and surf lovely clothings sites :) and catch up on news however I have a healthy life - anyone feel addicted to net?

I think if your spending too much time on the net and not doing things in life you should be doing because of it its a problem, maybe possibly escaping your problems in real life and that can lead to you being depressed yes

When you have nothing else you do,the internet can become a bit addictive. I would know,don't think it makes you depressed though. Chatting to people on here cheers me up a lot of the time.

If you're that way inclined, anything can make you depressed. The internet isn't the problem. Some of the people using it are.

The net is a good escape, especially for watching docs and that. I think the kids growing up in the 90's were the last generation without the full force of the net and technology. I mean now, kids grow up with wii's that does their excerise for them.

Yes Escape is So Needed.


24/7 Live Internet Feed of Big Brother
Got us away from Stinking New Labour.
Bliss.

lol Arista

Yes TiBB
is also a Escape
a section for Everyone even 'ILoveDC'
is learning which section he is best in.

I think Facebook/Bebo et al can be depressing as it is rather fake. It over-eggs the "friends" aspect of life. It can bring out the narcissistic aspect of ones personality.

Memo to humandkind: no one cares what music you like.

stat.

It's just a bit of fun bar the obnoxious scene kids who delight in taking daft pictures of themselves in pseudo emotional poses.

I have made quiet a few real life friends based off similar music tastes so uh ...

I agree.....I think you have to be that way inclined to become depressed!! I do believe people become obbssessed with facebook and all the pictures, messages etc saying look at me look how excisting my life is yadda yadda

I cherish the days with internet though ................. barbies and building go karts, conkers etc look at everything we had - no computer games. No kids come in and "log on"

Still enjot catch up with facebook buddies, wee bit of gossip through websites and fantastic shopping online :) that does not mak me depressed.........that makes me HAPPY :) XXXX

And there is Second Life
which has Lindon Dollars and you are in a Area
you can build.
I went on a Lesbian Island - and they told me to leave
I said no - like it here.

Then after another Warning
a Woman with a Stick bashed me and banned me from that Zone.
I was pushed into the Dark Air.

We could have a TiBB Island
you pick your avatar this is me
http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._4453192_n.jpg
with Tink , she is in Ireland.

Haha Arista, can just imagine you on a lesbian island..."no Im stoppin I like it" like c3po on acid hehe...a woman with a stick bashed you..how very freudian lol

I have been led to believe by his dungeon exploits that Arista found being hit with sticks quiet pleasurable.

Yes you can Remove your Clothes
DownStairs the Graphics are amazing
One Woman was strapped to a Cross
you could Jump on her and give her one.

I had a go on second life a couple of years ago and had a blast. Not because it's good, but because people take it so seriously. I walked into the welcome area and took all my clothes off... then I walked over to a crowd who were chatting and said, 'I want your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.' Anyway, after they told me to ***** off or be banned I went exploring with my mate who was dressed like a porno version of a stormtrooper. We had some fun and when he clicked on one of the sexual position balls, I clicked on the other and bummed him within an inch of his life.

The day after started to get really funny as relationships were starting to form and I was being invited to some pumping fake parties. On the way to one of these parties I found an area that had a lot of boxes, and in one of the boxes was a penis package - to customise your character. I strapped on this 2D photorealistic penis that was about as big as my actual character and went on my way... naked as usual. For those that aren't aware, in Second Life you fly from place to place. I did this a lot once I had my 2D penis because it flapped and looked like a propeller. I used to float just above people and slap them in the face with my giant member.

Ahh, good times.

arist, how big is your cock?

hehe the images...****in hell watta cwaZy world

9 inch.

Live Bands Perform there
via avatars - that is amazing.

Yes many take it as a Second Life
and they stand there ground.

You can have any size Cock.

SkyNews have there own Island
I picked up a Free LCD
which I take around with me.
(you are not permitted to advertise unless you
pay Second Life)


I would think you are Ideal in Second Life.
you are the balance as so many are like slaves.


A TiBB Island would be Funny.


I could see Shaun and Zee having Fun.

Is this free to download? Sounds great. Especially some secluded TiBB sadomasochism island where Gonzo is free to hotwire motorbikes at will.

Yes Second Life is Free
some things you have to buy
with Lindin dollars you purchase.

I was liked so much many gave me things
like my cape.

I think you Stu
would have to have a Sub Section (adults only)

I used to be quite addicted..

But i have 0 problems in my life that i could name right now!
so im happy, and definately not depressed lol.

Oh Arista how can anyone be depressed with you on the net?:hugesmile:

What colours yer cape?

It is Dark.

What's your name on there, arista? We'll hook up, have a drink, a dance, swap penises.

I have many accounts
as I have more than one computer.
(of course I do not declare it, which is wrong,
but who cares)

It's fair enough, mate.

Hey, you could log on twice and have sex with yourself. Now that'd be awesome :)

No many are using Second life
for Money transfers.
Because you can buy Lindin Dollars,
infact the FBI was brought in to check it.



If I have Two Avatars on at the same time (2 computers in use)
they are on their own Islands
no need to be together.

I lasted all of four minuets on it as the femme fatale transvestite Gogo Somethingorother.

Way too laggy. Reminds me of playing Morrowind on an old PC. I would press foward and after about 2 seconds my avatar would eventually embark on this slow mo trawl of sorts.

I never had second life before and I just joined and downloaded it.

It takes Time to get use to.

You can click to Fly
and now they have voice if you want to use it.


There is Irish Islands with Real Irish Clubs/Pubs people

Up top you can search
loads of ads may conme up as well.
but look for a Community area you wish to fly to.
On the Map you click -then you go there instant,
if you do not like the area - Click the map and move away.

I can see the words you put in Search


Sex........

I have never heard of this second life stuff? sounds quite good and very like the sims?

I have driven cars on it
so it is advanced so long as your computer can handle the amount of Graphics.

No nothing like simms


It is Full of everyone and Freaks. Adult zones.
It was on the news when a Couple got Divorced
as her husband was having cyber sex
on there , but not with her.


They even have Role Play Islands
I kept asking this Lady Sex questions
The banned me.
So on I went to another nation island.



As soon as SkyNews set up there Studio Island
the Bloated BBC bought a Island zone.

I don't even know how to work it though :laugh:

It takes time
you pick your hair face , body avatar.
then some clothes.
It should tell you wahat to do.
