I have a facebook friend that’s started proselytizing via her status messages. Most of them are religious glurge (“God and Jesus love you with hearts the size of the Earth” etc.). And of course many of them end with “93% won’t copy and paste this into their status message, will you?” I don’t know what bumblefuck decided 93% was the magic number, or how they even came to it in the first place, but it’s at the end of most of her pap. Normally I don’t care, I like mild annoyances.

What finally broke the camel’s back was her update that said “Why is it that 70% of the population can’t stop a Muslim Victory Mosque from being built at ground zero, but one Athiest can get crosses removed from a soldier’s grave and prayer from school? If you agree, please copy and repost!” :rolleyes: I don’t even know where to begin with how wrong that all is. I would defriend her, but that would mean I can’t troll her posts until she defriends me instead 😃

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing!

This woman is twenty-two years old. And married. Not six, as this status may lead you to believe.
