ENTP_EMO · Accepted Answer

Howdy, my name is Rawhide Kobayashi. I'm a 27 year old Japanese Japamerican (western culture fan for you foreigners). I brand and wrangle cattle on my ranch, and spend my days perfecting the craft and enjoying superior American passtimes. (Barbeque, Rodeo, Fireworks) I train with my branding iron every day, this superior weapon can permanently leave my ranch embled on a cattle's hide because it is white-hot, and is vastly superior to any other method of livestock marking. I earned my branding license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak English fluently, both Texas and Oklahoma dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their cowboy code, which I follow 100% When I get my American visa, I am moving to Dallas to work in an oil field to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a cattle wrangler for the Double Cross Ranch or an oil rig operator for Exxon-Mobil! I own several cowboy hats, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I rebel against my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Wish me luck in America!

I'm nicer on the internet than I am in real life - because in real life - people are too busy going about their lives to care whether you are good or bad - on the internet - everybody is observing you and watching what you say so if you make yourself look bad - you make your beliefs and your faith look bad.

Because they have feeling of some sort of privacy they are home in front of PC all alone. I read about that. They think no one would know what they done so they think they can get away with it. It is very interesting to see what people do when they think nobody is watching them.

ShadowofRegret · Answer

They think they can get away with it, most of them would not dare say the things they do if they thought there were consequences.

It is much like the types who taunt and provoke a tiger at a zoo, when they think it cannot hurt them, but as soon as the tiger gets angry and finds a way out...
