The concept of the site, is that you are randomly paired with another user to chat with. A complete, and utter stranger. You get no information about them, there are no user names, no bios, no pictures, no nothing. All you know, is someone on teh other side of another screen somewhere, waiting for you to break this awkward silence. Don't like who you're talking to? Disconnect and find someone else to talk to.
You can say whatever you want, which, can lead to some highly amusing conversations xd
Example: (Beware, WOT, racism, and philosophic content)

Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
A word of advice: "asl" is boring. Please find something more interesting to talk about!
You: Heya
Stranger: Hello there!
Stranger: ....
Stranger: jew
You: theheck?
Stranger: yeah, that's right! jew-pig!
You: jews hate pigs :/
Stranger: The jew is a spider spread across all nations!
You: wth?
Stranger: And the ****** is his poison!
You: and the jap his needle?
You: the hell is this?
Stranger: The jew liberalizes your economy in pursuit of profit, making your borders more porous
Stranger: Then, under the pretext of labour mobility, the niggers move in
Stranger: Which eventuates in the degeneration you see today
You: i see
You: glad to have that cleared up
Stranger: Now you know about the jew-******-zionist-pig-cow genda
You: i do indeed
Stranger: Your life may be endangered
Stranger: Trust nobody, suspect even your shadow
You: i think i suspect you
Stranger: I am no jew, sir!
You: I AM NO SIR
Stranger: Nor a jewish agent!
Stranger: Oh
Stranger: errrm
Stranger: Apologies madam!
You: no problem
Stranger: Well, anyway, stay away from the aforementioned enthic minorities
Stranger: They will be the undoing of the white race
You: so it sounds
Stranger: Yeah, well....
Stranger: uhhhm
Stranger: ran out of steam now
Stranger: Lemme see
Stranger: what do you like doing?
You: you know, the usual stuff. reading, talking to people.
You: you? while not suspecting minorities?
Stranger: Well, I like reading, but only the proper books that speak the truth and further the cause
Stranger: So, what kind of books do you like?
You: pretty much anything. mostly fiction. and of that, mostly fantasy.
Stranger: oh right, cool, i read Legend by David Gemmel recently
Stranger: supposedly it parallels his own battle with cancer
Stranger: but, he was misdiagnosed!
Stranger: that explains the improbable and slightly unsatisfying ending
You: isee
Stranger: When the warlord just up and left, the thrat was removed
Stranger: threat
Stranger: I liked Lord of the rings, but that was ages ago
Stranger: Hmm, what other fantasy
You: i haven't read lord of teh rings in ages...
You: i should read it again some time ..
Stranger: I used to collect the fight fanasty books by steve jackson and ian livingstone
Stranger: when i ws a kid
Stranger: i was very lame
You: nice
You: everyone was lame as a kid
You: i think it's some sort of ... biological thing
Stranger: Yeah, just like some races are hardwired for exploitation and internecine criminality!
Stranger: whoops
Stranger: sorry
Stranger: just an outburst
You: lol, it's ok
Stranger: well, i liked reading some philosophy too
Stranger: still not sure if there's a god or not
You: philosophy is always a good read
Stranger: you'd think i would've worked it out by now
You: ah, a fellow agnostic?
Stranger: hmmm...yeah
Stranger: Although, I don't engage in any religious observances and don't make any decisions with reference to a God
Stranger: so, practically an atheist
Stranger: but, i don't see how i can ever be sure
Stranger: I mean, god is always a level removed from what we can actually verify
Stranger: although there are a few things i feel cmfortable ruling out
You: in my opinion, the only difference between an agnostic and an athiest is that agnostics think there's SOMETHING out there, and athiests fervently tell everyone there isn't
Stranger: Yeah, well if you look at the actual word itself, atheist
Stranger: i always though it was like asexual, or apolitical
Stranger: i.e. you're just not sexual or political
You: makes sense
Stranger: so, atheist means you're just not a theist
Stranger: so, from that perspective, i would be atheist, since i don't do any theistic stuff
Stranger: but, since atheists tend to be identifies as this definitely no god group i can't really say that
Stranger: boo
Stranger: the word makes sense, the people dont
Stranger: as often happens
You: the way the world works
Stranger: yeah, sucks asssss
You: see, this is why i believe there must be some cosmic power: irony.
Stranger: lol
Stranger: yeah, like a really perverse power
Stranger: one that takes pleasure in the follies of man
You: indeed.
You: why else would we be created, and then not saved from ourselves?
You: what ever power may be, it must be perverse.
You: and a little sadistic..
Stranger: well, could also of course be that we emerged just via unthinking processes, but we got a mind that thinks and tries to make sense of them
Stranger: our mind demands answers, and the universe remains silent
Stranger: which would also result in something similar, but without a cosmic power
You: indeed
Stranger: when you combine that with the fact that the world today is really just the result of many many people making many many free decisions
Stranger: which always results in some absurdities and irrationalities
Stranger: then, the world does look pretty perverse
You: very true
You: humanity.... is an oddity.
You: we're awfully stupid, in groups, yet need groups to survive. on our own, we can be brilliant minds (see: the few geniuses who have "gifted" us with our technology/advances through the ages), but we can't survive.
You: we have an ingrained need for interaction with others, and, of course, also biological *cough*
Stranger: yeah, we are pretty much in a mess of different mechanisms when you put it like that
Stranger: Maybe that's why the bible is so popular, it offers redemption from the world, vengeance against those in it and love above all
Stranger: kind of appeals to our own mess
You: perhaps.
You: we tend to seek order, which, is kind of illogical.
Stranger: yeah, could be some kind of survival instinct
Stranger: in disorder nothing is guaranteed
Stranger: especially not survival
Stranger: in order at least you have a system you can try to outwit
Stranger: or manage
Stranger: though it might kill you anyway
You: indeed.
You: one thing to be said for conformity: it can create rebels. which can advance us (ironicly.)
You: *conformity to order
Stranger: yeah, could b it lets water seek its own level, dullards are shoehorned into conformity because they aren't smart enough to forge a life pattern for themselves, but the rebels end up questioning and furthering things
Stranger: so, we have the beenfits of both conformity and rebellion
Stranger: see, i'm optimistic
Stranger: oh yeah, should have said the rebels are probably smarter, but now that i think about it, sometimes not
You: very true
Stranger: hmmm, might have to think about that
You: not all rebels are geniuses, but all geniuses are rebels?
Stranger: i think so, unless they've unraveleld the emchanisms of the existing system so deeply they're convinced of its merit
Stranger: maybe some conservatives really do have a kind of genius
Stranger: but, i think generally genius puts a new spin on eevrything it touches, even if it's an old system
You: indeed.
Stranger: lol
Stranger: Well, anyway, I'm off
Stranger: Beware the jew
Stranger: Nice talking to you
You: likewise.
Stranger: bye bye =)
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
Spoon:
What do think of the concept? I mean, weren't we all told talking to strangers is bad?
Post your conversations with Strangers!
