When you say "nothing", I'm assuming you're disregarding The Incident?

You know what I'm talking about; you'd deny it before a judge, but I think we all know about your little secret. But it's not so little, is it? No, it's not; and we've all caught on, and...

Err, never mind.

OH NOES! Christopher really *is* stalking teenage males! Watch out!

What's wrong with two fingers? I type with two fingers. I guess it depends, though, because I've never known anyone to have heard of a two-finger typist who can type more than ten words per minute, and yet, I can. :P Those who have chatted on AIM with me can confirm my perfectly competent speed.

Anyways. This is totally not the kind of thing my parents are into. They know I have an online life, but they'd never sign up for PPT and start hanging around, which is good, because I know most people don't like when they're hanging out with their friends and their parents come in the room, and it's basically the same concept right here. I mean, really...not everything I say here is any of their business.

So can I, but I type at an astounding rate...


My parents?
Not a worry, there isn't anything here that they don't already know.
My email history on the other hand o_O
Might well change my password I reckon.

Hehe, I'm a two fingered typist as well. My mother certainly pecks at the keyboard however. On the subject of whether I would care if either joined, the answer would probably be no. Neither are very good with computers, and really, if they took an interest, good for them, haha.

One-and-a-halfed. I said it in my post. :P

It's an interesting quetsion isn't it. Our parents are the generation that don't use the net. We are... so when we have kids... we'll all by on forums, myspace etc.

I'd probably be kinda weirded out. I'm kinda different online. I guess I'm just more open about things. I'll tell people stuff online that, as close as I am with my parents, I wouldn't tell them.

Well, my parents are VERY computer illiterate, so I have no worries about them joining any sort of forum.

But if they did, they would probably take eons to decipher what "IMO" and "LOL" and "PPT", etc means. After they uncoded our weird lingo, they would see it as a waste of time and ask me why I am not studying more for school. My mom, especially. She is paranoid of everything and anything (and can't take sarcasm). Thus, she'll bother me about everything I say in the forum is literal.

The incident?
XD
Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, I'm completely disregarding it.

(Actually, I haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about. XD)

I would be very proud of my dad if he figured out how to use PPT. lol My mom got him his own computer so he wouldn't mess up hers anymore. :P

I doubt my mom would go to a forum, but she'd probably freak over all the personal info I've given out, especially if she ever found out how many people have my personal address or phone number. XD She's a bit paranoid. lol

Someday my girls will join PPT. That will be fun. ^.^ I'd feel at least somewhat relieved knowing that at least in one place on the internet I can still help and protect them. lol

"How do you know he really is?" "Why would someone increment 6500+ posts over several years to satisfy his deranged fantasies?" "We're grounding you because your ability to make a good point makes us feel angry/"

If one of them joined... Hmm, I'd be convincing them to play WW, then I would always get them executed. Either that, or create a new bogus account that only they don't know is me, and once they got in the Debate group, I would laugh at all their ideas.


Is robot even alive? I applied in October, never accepted or denied.

But back on topic:

I would freak out and get spazzy. My dad goes on a forum here or there, but not very often. My mom doesn't post in any forums at all. But if they joined, I'd make fun of them on al of their posts :P

Personally I would be wierded out if I knew any member of my family had joined PPT and were reading my posts. Thankfully none of them know about PPT.
