This.
I have personally stopped being friends with several people who did not forward the important, and often life saving, messages that I sent them. I don’t need those heartless bastards in my life.
Holy shit - Did this thread devolve into “I don’t even Facebook” and Monty Python quotes at the same fucking time? Don’t ever change, Dopers.
Got a few friends who constantly post chain-shares.
I ignored chain letters before, I ignored chain-emails before, I ignore chain-shares now. Life long policy and I’ve never felt the need to defend it from anyone. They can fuck right off.
Frankly, I thought YogSosoth was joking, and it seemed redundant after I finished my OP with a parody.
Look, just recently the daughter of a HS friend of mine drew attention to a youngish cat that was about to meet its end for lack of adoption. I was only too happy to repost it until a tempoarray hom e was found for it.
I’ve done my share of communicating positively with friends (mostly met in 3D, or friends/associates of theirs) who post with serious political issues, especially (lately) local issues. (Greater Rochester area and Western NYS.) At the same time I follow what saje said above, and spend more time acting where I feel its needed. In fact, I’m continuing to post at a local center which specializes in just that, both with its own positive agenda, and hosting other, local groups that are compatible. (it’s also host to one of the many Narcotics Anonymous groups.)
For that reason, I have to hurry off and participate here.
It’s the same old glurge that I object to.
They probably feel the same way about you.
Yes, you were joking and I was joking in kind.
I don’t share/repost those emotional blackmail type FB posts. I’m not aware of being “unfriended” for failing to do so. If someone wants to unfriend me because of this, go for it.
creates a meme BubbaDog’s words
MOST of you won’t have the guts to re-post this…
What bugs me the most about them is they’re written in first person singular like the person sharing it took the time to write down their own thoughts.
Attribute that shit or fuck right off.
I hope you are joking.
Please tell us you’re joking.
Splitters!
When is** Drunky Smurf** NOT joking?
When it calls somebody an asshole.
:smack:
I’m going to use that for the comment section of next bit o’ FB glurge I get.
I got so pissed off seeing FB repost glurge that I made a series of my own text-images and posted them on the walls of glurge offenders amongst my friends.
Here’s a selection of them: http://1drv.ms/1xBtLWJ
I love glurge! I love taking glurge and subtly changing the wording to significantly change the meaning and re-posting it.
I really love it when someone’s grandma posts a story about a guardian angel protecting a child from drowning, and something something heartwarming, and that child grew up to be… David Berkowitz.
For some reason nobody posts glurge to my facebook any more.
I’ve interacted with some of you over the years, but now I wonder if all you care about is yourself. If you have one shred of humanity in your soul, you’ll repost with one word about something or other. Any other response is absolutely unacceptable. I have an idea which of you will respect my wishes, and which of you are irredeemable donkey scrotums.
Clever parody. Wish I’d thought of it.
My cousin “shared” the recent thing going around about a screed from an 83 year old Bill Cosby. I replied with a link to the snopes article cited the screed and declaring it to be false. I think I hurt her feelings a bit, but she hasn’t unfriended me.
OMG, I can’t even decide which one I love most. I think it’s the “hand glued to a window” one, just because I can’t stand pictures that are supposed to be “evocative” (I’m looking at you, picture of a man’s arms around his wife’s pregnant belly, with his hands curled to make a heart shape…and you, too, picture of multiple pairs of rainboots, all lined up from bitty-kid boots to big grown-up boots…)
^^^Keep trying, though.^^^
