Hey guys, he doesn't know about the other internets.

Are you talking about, like, .com, .ro, .ru, the webs of other countries? And I think Henry Plainview meant .com .

This question is beyond me.

Yeah, I went with 25% but I think that's rather high. As a reference source, I can't recall looking up anything that I found to be false. Maybe I'm just not going to the right places. I spend a lot of time at places where opinions are expressed. Unless someone is lying about their opinion, opinions can't be true or false. Porn by it's nature can't be true or false. The only time I encountered a falsehood in shopping was buying an Aphonse Mouzon album that had Larry Coryell listed as being on it and didn't. But I guess it you throw in spam and conspiracy theories 10% might be a fairer number. I would be curious to hear from people who have actual examples of false things they've encountered.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Well even referrence sites like wikipedias are to be taken cautiously.... but then again, is the Encyclopedia Britannica all that trustworthy in itself?? I mean it was first written by christians and has still many slants... What makes it more trustworthy??? because there is a paper-printed version??

Aren't just any kinds of book (scientific ones not excluded) just subjective??

Although HP's question is vague, it's still a fairly interesting debate, but impossible to evaluate, because of our objective/subjective criterias...

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

If you include 4chan then its something like 100%...

Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.

It depends a lot on what you consider false.

Is a manipulated picture false, if yes, how do you define real pictures, no degitals, no filters ?

You could use this logic at video, music. is a cut sentence from a person real ?.

If you tell a story in a very subjective angle, fitting you interest, is it then real ?

How about TV, is it real , X-factor, Big Brother ?

Is a frosen cemical pizza real ?

Is american Vodka real vodka ?

If you answer no to most of these questions, most of the internet will be false, not due to a false internet, but due to a false world

Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

0%. Everything is true. It might come from deeper within, from darker corners of minds and personalities, but everything is true.

Except Henry's ponies of course. But the obsession is true.
