It was'nt me I did'nt do it you cant prove anything arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :P

Really PGG? Then I guess I am a little paranoid as well....
That whole watching me thing? *Shiver*

I got a switch blade hidden in my room if I ever need it... :P

Tsk Tsk warfare... A switchblade? I have a four in. Hunting kinfe, 3 in. Pocket knife, two 1.5 in. Pocket knives, a leatherman with a 3.5 in. Blade, an airsoft gun that, at close range, could do a little bit of damage, a bb gun that, at any range in my house, could hurt like hell. I also have some replica guns for intimidation. Also, I have a baseball bat in each room that I spend time in. I also know how to jerry rig a grenade out of an areosol can and duct tape, and kep a nice supply of firecracker in my room. Then there is the machete I found in the bushes behind my house. I keep that in the knife droor. I know exactly where my dad's.22 is, as well as his shotgun and Thirty Ought Six. I know basic matrial arts and knife fighting, too. In every pen keeping spot in our haouse, there are special steel tipped pecils. So I guess I am kiinda paranoid... :P

Why have all that? I just carry a nine mil. In my car. Makes things easy.

I think I slightly have 1 and 2.. Not much, just maybe sometimes..

GQ WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME HERE? I DON'T APPRECIATE WHAT YOUR WRITING.WHERE ARE THE CAMERAS?

Very subtle Gamera.

Have some confidence for pete's sake.

Gamera, that's called spamming. I have cleaned it.

I think everyone is a little bit paranoid about something or other.

While in the UK, I had mild paranoia about being watched.. But then again I think that was just induced by the sheer number of CCTV cameras everywhere in the UK - particularly London: streets, roads, motorways, shops, banks, supermarkets, offices, heck they are probably a bit like spiders.. For every one that you see, you *just know* that there are at least another dozen that you can't see.

Here in China however, I thought I'd said goodbye to all that paranoia - seeming as there are almost no CCTV cameras here, but instead of it just being vapourised, it has mutated somewhat. The internet is one of the most closely censored and monitored things here, so the paranoia has now shifted from my real-self being watched and monitored, to my cyber-self (if you will) being followed and watched. Not that there's anything to hide as such.. Just that I believe privacy is a very important human right.

-Z-

Yes I agree, im always paranoid :P

Napalm sorry if it showed up more than once I kept seeing a maintenance screen come up and I kept pressing submit and kept seeing the maintanance screen..at first I thought you were joking like I wrote bad stuff in the thread.i don't spam on purpose.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

I think everyone has made some good points, I would agree with -z- for the simple fact in reading up on this I have found many articles that say just that. Even when you look in a mirror to check your hair is a paranoid reaction. So we all are paranoid in some way or another.

You mean the hair growing out of the back of our ears right?
:)

Gamera, I know your not a spammer. It was just a statement cause the number of posts. Nothing to worry about.

Thats just being self-consious. Theres a lot of people on this message board who could change that (especially me)

GQ. I can relate with your post.
Sadly it involves everyday life with most people anymore.
I miss the good ole days! :)

@fish
Read the whole thread if you want to know what I was looking for. If you read it and still don't have a clue, then I really do not know what to tell you.

@KKB,
Well I wasn't around in the old days, but do you think kids are more paranoid now then they were back then? I really am curious. I see alot of kids in there teen years really freak out over who and what is doing what to others or them. Kids now seem to think everything relates to them and that all topics are about them. It is really just amazing how kids and or teens seem to think so much. Maybe it is because they spend so much time alone, either playing games or watching t.v, that they have very deep thoughts that become real life in a way. Do kids minds have imaginations as vivid as back say 20 years ago, or are there imaginations based on what they see or hear from games and or t.v. So in thinking this way are paranoid ppl. Paranoid in a differant way and in differant extremes? Does the word paranoid have the same meaning as it did 20 years ago? What was being paranoid then is maybe common every day life now.

Soo.... Uh... Who is that outside my window again.

Another question,
Do you think peer presure cause's kids and or adults to be paranoid?

GQ,
I don't thinks that that kids (or adults) are any more paranoid now than they were 20 years ago. The difference is communication. With the internet, we have instsant comm. With people all over the world. Issues and feelings are expressed and sent worldwide which makes them seem to be on the increase. The need to be accepted has always been around. Why else would our founding fathers wear those horible powdered wigs??? G

Chuck

Good point Chuck,
The net does give access to many many people that kids 20 years ago did not have. I am wondering about something I read in an article that said kids become paranoid due to lack of communication with many differant types of people. So with the net and so many people being thrust at the kids you would think that the paranoid problem would be on the decrease. But it is not any differant now statisticly then it was 20 years ago.
So my wondering is paranoid = shy? Or shy = paranoid? Or neither.. I personally am not shy by any means, but do feel I have some paranoid feelings at times.
So is the term paranoid used incorrectly where shyness should be used.? Or is the term shyness used incorrectly where paranoid should be used?
