I can believe that. How are they scary to you though?

Some of them looked like they were extras in the Matrix - that are now stuck in their costumes.

I'd laugh if they went to work with replica Runescape armours. ~D

I agree there. ~:cheers:

When I was about 17 I was buying some hash from a guy on the street in downtown Toronto. I handed him my $$ and he handed me a little foil package that I discovered later held only a little chunk of black wax. I was bummed. My buddy and I had scrounged up our last $15 for that hash. The Doritos just didn't taste as good as they could have that night...

You're as cynical as I am about Democracy. Still it is our only real hope of having a say. I will be voting in our next month's election.

Biggest scam? The Islamic Republic of Iran.

Hey Crazed Rabbit, be careful not to give any personal details or to meet them... over here there have been reports of people being kidnapped or beaten up by the people that organise these scams... there is a metropolitan police website about how to report these guys if they give you things like contact phone numbers etc. Anyway a whole bunch of them were arrested recently in Nigeria.

Don't worry. I don't plan on meeting them, just tagging them along with a newly minted email address.

I entered a "disco" in Istanbul just to find out it was actually a brothel. It cost me money just to get out again.

At least that's what you told the police...

armed robery (sp?) but that isnt really a scam is it. just let's say the guy went home having nightmares. 10 guys jumping on him isnt really a pleasant thing. hmph he should have picked his victims more carefully

And Lutheran Church (sorry) ~:grouphug:

Supporting the UN, and most all of the USAs 'humanitarian' efforts. At least I do not believe the USA is scamming me on those efforts, but the people controlling the ones we are supposed to be helping (look at the PLO).

Bought an athlon XP3200+ processor on ebay. Turned out it was a hard overclocked XP2500+ and after working for a few months at 2.2GHz it now refuses to run most 3D applications at anything over 1.8GHz :(
