Wednesday 11-230-11 Why would you do such a thing?(quickwrite)

    A lot of the times, you have to have good judgment when believing things on the internet. A lot of people on the internet post things just for their amusement, or other times for much more dangerous things. I think that people would post stupid things on the internet for just a laugh, or for their own benefit of saying "look at these people who believe this bogus!". Other times, people post things on the internet that change their appearence, or personality traits about them. I think they do this because they are either insecure, or are trying to impress or fit in with people. I don't necessarily agree with this though because people can trust someone that they don't even know. And at times this can be very dangerous. And lastly when people post things about trying to get money for a fake organization, or other scams, I think it's just for them to steal your money, and keep a realistic looking front. This is definitely dangerous, and you should do your research before trusting something on the internet. Before you know it you could be sending thousands of dollars away to an "Alpaca in Africa" foundation. All of these are examples of people either being stupid, or just plain right scam artists.
