lol...I guess it is because we can 'escape' our own individual realities.

I do...

I can be who I really am, feeling no need to aspire to a predefined expectancy of those around me. I can be as silly, or as serious as I want or need to be.
In life, that is not always possible.

I also like learning about peoples' psyche - what makes them tick - but that's because I've always been a kind of 'people watcher' (the amount of times that some folk have thought that I was a cop, just because I like studying people.

It is also a place where you can vent your frustrations, or gain an opinion about something, even help others to overcome certain situations that affect their lives - and in turn, maybe learn how to approach a problem in your own life, through application of knowledge.

I used to be a moderator on the S1 board (one of the biggest on-line communities inthe world), and found that I have gained a much better view of the world and it's people.
I like coming here for entertainment, learning, and the hope that I can help someone through their problems, as they can often help me...even if it is just to listen

It is a good diversion from the harshness of reality (it will rarely solve anything, but it helps to have like-minded persons to yak with), and without it (especially right now) I dunno what I'd do.

Sad?
Maybe, but is better than sitting in a room by myself, dwelling on stuff that I have little or no control over, and losing my mind completely.


I think that 'soap-opera' is a bit tacky a label, though ....

how about 'Abstract Community Gathering of Similarly Disposed People'?
