      Because they cant handel the truth. . . Or Becuase they dont want to offend someone. . . Or becuase it makes them feel better about themselves. There's a few reasons that comes to my mind.

      Because they can be anyone they want to be when they're on-line. They can be attractive, wealthy, successful, etc. Too bad a lot of them end up hurting people along the way.

      Insecurity with themselves. Anytime people present than themselves as something other than themselves it is due to an insecurity or unhappiness with who they are.

      All sorts of reasons.

      1) steal money
      2) be someone else because they think they suck
      3) escape an abusive home life
      4) self esteem
      5) hide celebrity status
      6) get you in bed

      Which one of these has you upset? Did somebody lie to you?

      Many ppl create their fantasy selves. I have seen it all the years
      of the internet. Ppl pretend and lie often.

      Because some gullible people actually believe their b/s or they probably wouldn't go to such extremes to lie about everything!?!?

      It's society, man.

      Or the food industry.

      Or the NSA.

      Or chemicals.

      Or Obama

      Or Bush.

      Or, or, or . . .

      Whatever it is, it's not their own fault.
