Lies! I'm on the internet more than anyone I know, and I'm also happier than anyone I know.

The only thing depressing about the internet is when I log onto forum.calgarypuck.com and it says the server is busy.

I think they messed up cause and effect again like they always do in these tests.

It's more likely that people who are depressed will have increased internet usage.

It did mention that at the beginning of the article, that cause and effect hadn't been determined.

I'm so depressed right now.

BTW only 67% of people really believe this, or if you consider that 28% are unable to agree then you can agree/disagree that these statistics don't lie.

Reading the Fire on Ice board is depressing. So many suicidal people in there these days.

Would you be depressed if you had full access to the strangest stuff on the planet 24/7? I think not!

Autopsy pictures, German Horse Pr0n, and wallpapers of Kathy Lee Gifford doing crack off a hookers butt.
