To start yet another thread about Facebook

[Tweasels]

Probably.......but didn't want to hijack other thread.

I hate my news feed being clogged up with these bloody viral photograph things. An example

A picture of 2 6yr old(ish) holding hands. They have different skin colours. It says "like if you're not racist". I mean WTAF? And why do people then press like aaaaaarrrggggh. Do they honestly think if they don't it means they are racist.

Ooh it gets my goat

Twits innit

We all have our prejudices and isms in some ways. Perhaps the caption should have been something different, unsure of what.

Yanbu and I get you.

I block all that twaddle.

Can't be doing with the spate of flag draped coffins mithering on about heros and dole spongers.

Me too.....I HATE being told that I'm racist/a bad mother (or worse mom) /no fun if I don't share.

I usually hide them TBH ,they are akin to chain letters/emails which I also have great pleasure in deleting!

If you remove all the wankers from your friends list and don't befriend any more wankers then you won't get wanky shite coming up on your wall.

DS1 gets those share or your Mum will die ones.

It's like a love hate relationship with FB. I think oooh, let's check FB. That's nice, rational friend did rational thing and put a nice picture on. Scroll further down and aaaaahhhhhhh. You're all a bunch of fuckwits.

I would like to get rid of these people, but some of them are quite normal in real life. Although also I have to admit, I don't hide some of them (the proper arse holes) because me and DH like to laugh at how sad they are...

[hangs head in shame]

The ones that tell me I don't care about cancer sufferers if I don't share make me really quite angry.

My friend's elderly mother posts a lot of those....

Ive seem burned babies, dead babies, dead babies in bins, abortions, everything. I fucking hate it and delete every bastard who posts them, despite me actually liking some of the people. Seriously wtf are people liking or reposting this shit?

The next is almost as bad all that guff about women and their frelings and tears and only true men can read them. Oh do fuck off. Delete your ass and I'll delete your ass too.

Delete. Delete. Delete.

We have had a spate of animal cruelty ones.

I know! And it always seems to be on my page. Im clearlu aquainted to a lot of wankers.

I looked at my fb just now and the first thing I see is a new born baby with a huge cancerous growth on its poor head. And Im to 'like' it, to bless him.
Does his mother know her babys picture is being used for peoples - theres a saying for this, what is it? When people go all la la over others misfortunes?

I've noticed an increase of pictures of babies which have been photoshopped. Why the hell thousands of people "like" the pictures is beyond me. I delete or hide whoever has shared it.

Also, the bollocks 'life mottos' about friendship/being a mum/a wife. My sister is always posting these, she won't listen.

i only have 2 or 3 folk that post this gubbins, they are otherwise quite nice people so i just try to hide as much as i can.

missmogwai the pregnant tummy with foot poking out is doing the rounds yet again too.

THis is a multi-purpose-any-fb-moan reply.
It is not fb, it is the people you have as friends on it.

I get very little of that, and no dead babies at all, because all my fb friends are my real life friends, too. I don't tend to be friends with the sort of people who are so simple they are taken in by that sort of shite.

I've been gone off there a week nearly and I'm not missing it I have to say.... I'm only missing chatting to people that matter.

cardi mine are all rl friends and relatives too so i must have a few simple ones :)

I have had today a sparrow with a poorly photo shopped on broken leg (like and he will survive) and a puppy being hanged by his lead. Am going to be doing some culling of my own today....bloody idiots!

yikes i don't get anything like that!

I've never seen any about dead babies etc

But I can't bear all the twee pics with irritating motos like, 'repost this if you love your babbies more than anything in the world/best mummy' type nonsense

Always makes me think of the Chris Rock stand up sketch, 'I take care of my kids.... You're supposed to mther fcker!!'

Love Facebook, this morning I had seen a lovely photo of my DGS. I have seen my DN and her toddler at the Zoo. So nice to see the extended family and share in their joys, which I may have not had known due to the chaotic pace of our lives.

As for the misguided nonsense some of which is put by my youngest DDs friends, I just ignore it. They are sadly not blessed in the IQ department. I am just pleased that they are anti homophobia, animal cruelty and are really quite nice people.

what AKissIsNotAContract said - my FB experience has improved 100% since I removed all the wankers from my friend list

I now worry that I may be the wanker
