Facebook C&P statuses / Bullying
 
annoy the hell out of me.... I finally put the worst offender friend on ignore after she posted this one:

Quote:

A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a ****. No-one knows she was raped at 13. People call a girl fat. No-one knows she has a serious disease which causes her to be over weight. People call an old man ugly. No-one knows he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war. Copy and paste this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. 95% of you won't.
Isn't the "copy and paste this if you're cool, most of you aren't" just another form of bullying?

And she is a friend. But really?

I don't think it's bullying. Those statuses are just the same as all the 'pass this on or you're going to grow big pimples on your arse' type emails. Just ignore them if you don't like them. Some of them are ok, but others get a bit old after a while.

Having plenty of teenagers on my fb, I see a lot of this stuff.

Isn't using the "Quote" button the same as "cut & paste"?

Monster - I ignore most of them, and have put up the odd spoof to show my scorn, but just sometimes I'll do as I'm asked for people who I know have a real, personal reason ...

Was just looking at fb and came across this - which is the first spoof I'd seen. Love it.

Please copy and paste this as your status if you know someone, or have heard of someone who knows someone. If you don't know anyone, or even if you've heard of anyone who doesn't know anyone, then do still copy this. It's important to spread the message, even if no-one knows anything about anyone. Oh, and the hearts. ♥ ♥...
For goodness sake, don't forget the hearts. ♥
If your 'friends' take you to task/subject you to some kind of unpleasant and unnecessary behaviour for not pasting this kind of message on your wall, then perhaps the term bullying could be applied, but surely people should be able to evaluate each of these messages for own merits (or lack thereof) and not just post blindly.

Thanks. You've just invalidated my internet raison d'etre in one swipe.
