The other guy who posted the stuff about Baltimore? That's my brother....Yes, he's never been mugged before but he's only lived there for a 6 month internship with an investment bank (he lived in Philly for 4 years for college).

I was just a bit concerned after reading one of the bigger threads on this forum...it's somewhere here, titled "Have you ever been mugged?" or something like that. Maybe they either all exaggerated or what. At least the way you guys are reacting, it's making me feel better.

Maybe I won't have to bring anything after all haha.

oh, ok. He must be your twin brother because the guy who posted all the stuff about Baltimore was also 21 years old, same as you say you are.

you're completely believable.
Both of you.

And by the way, your "brother" said he went to Brown University. Brown is in Rhode Island, not Philly. Above you say your "brother" was in Philly for college for 4 years.

At least if you are going to spin a story for us, make it believable.

Oh, maybe now you'll tell us that was a third brother who is also 21. Triplets! Your parents must be proud.

so what if he wanted to lie about his age and where he graduated from? when you post something in a forum, lots of people from the same area are going to read it and with enough clues they can figure out who you are in real life. It's only smart to do so. He's really from philly, not brown. Who knows....maybe he joins some racial debate or political debate on one of these forums and angers somebody....you never know. I don't know why anyone would give out too much real information in internet forums. And he's definitely not 21. He's going to grad school in Baltimore, and he's not working at all, unlike what he wrote in that post.

Maybe if you're coming here with stories like this, you'll need those stun guns and switchblades, after all!

Oh, great. Now he's going to be mad at you for revealing the truth. And he will regret giving you his password. But I guess twins probably can't stay mad at each other for long.

And if you think it's good to lie on these forums, should we assume you are writing lies too?

Wait...I think we have a bigger problem to solve. If someone says to you, "I always lie" are they lying or telling the truth???

So while Henna here is still bathing in his/her newfound satisfaction of being such a hero and feeling high-headed about his obvious keen abilities to sleuth out the 63% of information found on the internet that probably isn't totally true, I just wanted to say that: If what my me or my brother says on these forums had absolutely no truth in them at all, we would not spend 10-15 minutes typing stuff out and spending hours reading what the posters before us wrote (I spent a while reading all the posts about muggings on this forum which led me to ask this question). And yes, I do own all those weapons, and I wouldn't be asking about crime or the legality about those particular weapons if I didn't own them right?

So Henna, since you're so instinctive, you'd be perfect for working for Wikipedia in scumming out the 33% of information found on the internet that is found to be false. Now don't get me wrong here; I do find it annoying if posters post fake information but then again, it's always stupid to give out all your information and have people know who you are in real life.
