No offense meant on this but I really don't chat online. I'm not being a hypocrite and I have nothing against those who chat. As a matter of fact, my sisters do chat on the internet. Not that I don't want to, but I lack the spare time to do just that & also the resources are limited, on my part. I do internet on the office workplace and only for a maximum of two hours a day. So, for a week, that would only amount to ten hours or even less. Though, my folks do chat on the net with my aunt who is working in a foreign land, Israel. But based on the complaints of other acquaintances who chat online, some people may even say their single or unattached when in fact, they are very much married with kids. I guess these people get some kind of satisfaction when they say some lies or half-truths. We may even be fooled by their appearances specially if they look good on the webcam. So, be very careful when chatting on the internet.

well, we can never be sure. in the internet we can never tell if the person we are chatting with is really telling us the truth or not. we just dont have to believe everything that the person we are chatting with will tell us because it will only disappoint us when we will learn that what he or she is telling us is not true. besides in the internet especially online vhatting, we can only speculate but we can nevre really have the 100% assurance and certainty.
