I wonder why people like to make up things on the internet saying that people have past away. I had just read an article that Tiny Turner had past away. It was not on CNN so I know it had to be a hoax. What fun do people get out of doing this? I just think that it is wrong.

People who are like that are evil! They think it is funny and have nothing better to do. If they aren't posting hoaxes,they are probaly some of the people making and sending out viruses to screw up people's computers! The world is full of evil disgusing people!

Well, according to me lying, or even give erroneous communications is wrong. I must be sincere mea-culpa reciting a saying that sometimes even I have written some lie (Of course never on Mylot). Anyway I don't understand then where is the fun in saying lies, including through new media like the internet and Smartphones, etc. You should always be honest in life! (And I speak for also for me!)

It must be fun for some people to see the responses to these games they play online. It is hearless and mean of them. THey must be getting something out of it and usually it is just the idea of playing this game with others. Being in control and such as that.

I agree with you. We can find a lot of things in the web - scam, viruses and also some legit ones. All we need to do is to screen all things - verify it with other reputable sites. Any one is free to upload things in the web so I believe that we should be always vigilant and assertive at all times.

Yes your right to lie but the truth still follows that we cannot decide what others should do. Well mostly people just want to have fun, which is like what you said a "wrong" fun. Well, even Internet lies exist we as a reader should not believe every information feed on the net that is why we are called humans because we should be rational in everything especially when to say that an information is a fact or a lie ^^.
