Another crappy facebook status.

[DuelingFanio]

"Homeless go without food. Elderly go without needed medicines. Mentally ill go without treatment. Troops go without proper equipment. Veterans go without benefits promised to them!!! Yet we donate millions of pounds to other countries before helping our own first! 1% will re-post and ...99% of people on Facebook won't have the guts to re-post this. Do you?"

BARF! I hate this kind of thing. Am struggling to resist replying!

Is what a couple of my facebook friends wrote.

I dont know that they realise how wrong this is on so many levels.

. You forget quite how thick people can be, don't you?

Marigold I love that - well said!

I want to know what the Death Star one is too.

smokinaces, i saw that & replied that Id rather live in a country with compassion for others than a country full of murderers! Then deleted them lol

MM - I am keeping that for the next insane status i see :)

I like that I can be armed with some good replies before I clear them out now

I have seen all of the above on profiles recently. I don't know whether I find the punctuation or the sentiments expressed more offensive.

I can't cull as mostly I am related to the offenders (by marriage!) but I do hide people from my newsfeed so I don't see them.

The thing is one of the people that posted is is a single mum of 2 kids with 2 different fathers, sitting in a lovely 3 bed house paid for by benefits as she doesnt work at all! Wonder which country she'd rather live in?!!

I just cant believe how racist and uncompassionate this country has become in the last few years - where has it all come from?!?!

I blame the meeja

Can I add ignorant and lazy to racist and uncompassionate? How do people not see through the crap in those statuses? And why feel the need to parrot someone else's badly written rant? Gah.

I just really hate the "entitlement" that people feel from being born here - but god forbid you are any kind of other ethnic colour or race and you can shovel the shit off the street on minimum wage for them.

The amount of people moaning that the polish/slovaks/russians/asians have "their" jobs, when really would they come off benefits to go work in MacDonalds or on a street sweeper for minimum wage??

sorry, I seem to have started a whole new threads worth of rant there!!

I know what you mean smokin!

Still want to know what the death star one it

is

I love the Death Star one

Put this as your status if you know, or are related to, someone who was on Alderaan when it was obliterated by the Death Star. People must understand that the Empire is a band of murderers bent on universal domination. The Rebel Alliance seeks peace for the galaxy, but the Galactic Empire continues to kill innocent civ...ilians. 93% wont copy & paste this. That is because they have been killed by the Empire.

I love it!

I can never believe it when people say things like "well we should be looking after our own kids first". A child in poverty is a child in poverty-what does it matter what country they live in? Their children FGS!! And poverty in somewhere like India is a he'll of a lot worse than what "poverty" is in this country! Grrr, those status updates make me so mad (especially when someone uses that update who I didn't realise thought like that!)

"They're" sorry couldn't help but correct myself there!

No secret that I think Facebook is a virtual disclosing tablet for thickness and that users are all mad as ticklish weasels.

But explain to me what the point of these cut and paste statements are? If you have to cut and paste then you have nothing to say, you're just copying. So why not shut up? Bad enough posting that kind of offensive or boaksome shite but the inability to not update the world on your dubious rantings every five minutes is worrying.

Says she ranting on an internet forum

Gah. Point is and a few commas sprinkled about wouldn't hurt. Am also thick today it seems.

I have to ask, what is boaksome?

Well it may not be an actual word working. but I used it in place of vomtastic or heave-worthy. HTH.

lol slattern !

AFAIK 'Boak' is Irish slang and means vomit.

I'd never heard it till I came on MN

theres no such thing as 'poverty' over here just that they decided to spend there benefits on C.O.D and a xbox kinect than food :)
