<p>Anyone think that CC is full of people who lie about their stats? Anyone think that we can trust CC at all? o.o Discuss please, curious to know your responses :)</p>
<p>Lies. All of it.</p>
<p>I wonder if people lie sometimes, or maybe exaggerated. But I don’t know or care.</p>
<p>You’d have to be a sad person to lie about your stats online. Most of the people who come to this site aren’t that pathetic, so I don’t think that there are too many of those.</p>
<p>pretty much everyone beefs up their stats on here. most people aren’t ■■■■■■ though, they just want to sound a little more accomplished than they are. I’ve never posted stats or anything though.</p>
<p>

<p>Way to get 'em! Keep the speculative generalizations rolling.</p>
<p>Some people might make things up, but if lying on an anonymous college forum is what they need to feel good about themselves, then their self-confidence is in such a bad way that they shouldn’t be attacked for it. However, it’s fairly cynical to think most people lie on here about things they’ve done or achieved.</p>
<p>I DO take AP Naptime. I’m not lying.</p>
<p>If anything, most people will attempt to exaggerate the significance of a particular activity they’re involved in. Like “founder of X club”. My friend, a recent graduate, won a local scholarship for starting “Native American Club” at my school (he’s 1/4 Navajo). We basically went canoeing a couple times and built a teepee in an abandoned corner of a nature preserve. Oh, and we watched Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee while eating bison burger’s at my friends mansion. That’s about all the club did all year.</p>
<p>^ lol That’s awesome.</p>
<p>I suspect that silverturtle is secretly a 2390er. I don’t think we should listen to anything he says.</p>
<p>No, but sometimes I wonder if you’re all just figments of my imagination and I’m really an alien…</p>
<p>^^^^ I want to join that club.</p>
<p>I’m honest Abe Lincoln, doing good through my honest ways.</p>
<p>Yea I lie about my stats. I subtract 100 points from each section to make others feel better. :)</p>
<p>^ Even in your username?</p>
<p>Yuppppppppp</p>
<p>I’ve never lied on CC, though I guess I don’t have much yet to lie about 
But honestly, who would lie on a internet forum where nobody knows who you are? I don’t get it. It would make me feel worse to make up a bunch of stuff because I would know for myself that it’s not true…</p>
<p>Lies make baby jesus cry.</p>
<p>^^ That’s what I think too. Guilty conscience. Actually I would think that people lie because we don’t know each other. Anyway, some people in my school just think that CC is a complete joke because of that reason and that we’re all strangers.</p>

<p>Contrary to your belief, an anonymous forum actually encourages lying. Here, you can make up anything about yourself without fearing the repercussions of being caught.</p>
