Couchsurfers

[Michal Marcinkowski]

Hey guys,
Quick question: Does anybody use or used couch surfers? http://www.couchsurfing.com
It's a way to travel across the world by staying in peoples places. I thought it's a fun idea to meet maybe.

[LeetFidle]

Id be afraid of the rapists.

[Camping_carl]

id rather evolve my digimon

[EnEsCe]

Suffice to say, its a trap.

[SadistAtHeart]

It seems like a really cool idea. Certainly beats having to sleep at the park.

[Mangled*]

They don't seem to list the statistics for negative experiences.

Of course it makes a perfect network for rapists and murderers to meet prospective victims.

Nothing could be safer than going to a foreign country to stay in the alleged home of someone you only know on a short term bases via the internet. Do you think when people go missing their hosts get negative feedback on the website?

[Lapis Lazuli]

I've looked into this, honestly. Unfortunately it is based entirely on the honesty and purity of the human souls who populate the service (snrk).

Suffice to say if you ever need a place to crash in the states Michal, I'm sure I can offer you a couch that is free of rape and murder.

"Host raped and stabbed me to death. Would not stay again"

[Flamingo]

Sure, I'll come over to your basement and hit you in the face for being lazy.

[Horve]

I don't want to get raepd that bad.
Its reliability is questionable so:
haven't

Actually laughed.

[Amblin]

Thank fuck you're not the guys actually using the page.

[Smegma]

Uhm, why not just find a crusty hangout instead?

[n00bface]

I've used couchsurfing several times and met really cool people in places like the Faroe Islands where I wouldn't normally have expected to find anyone who is too friendly of tourism.  Some of my professors are registered on couchsurfing too.  The key is to find somebody with several comments/reviews.

[Captain Ben]

its not rape if you give up struggling

[Michal Marcinkowski]

OK so only n00bface used it. Did anybody rape you?
Oh and thanks Lapis Lazuli, where you from exactly?

I am living in Tennessee. They have some gorgeous state parks here.

[Graham]

I always thought the search for somewhere to sleep then winding up just parking in a lot and hoping no one calls the cops was funner

However I always keep my house open to folks in need. If anyone comes my way just ask for a bed.

Ahh, good times breaking into colleges.

It doesn't seem right that something as makeshift as couchsurfing has become an internet-driven service. The two just don't go together.

No, one guy even gave me a ride to another side of the country and didn't ask for any kind of payment!  But we stopped for lunch and I got the bill for the both of us to make it kind of even...
