"Repost if you are against child abuse"

WyldChyld · 06/04/2015 09:21

You know what, I'm not reporting and nope, I think today I'm gonna be pro-child abuse! Fabulous.

I mean, ffs, what is wrong with stupid people?? Anyone else get incredible amounts of rage from stuff like this?

And yes, I could leave Facebook / block. Except 90% of my friends aren't like this and the 10% who are I can't realistically delete for political reasons...

Also Jane "Proud Mummy" Doe. Particularly if she works "full time at being a mummy ". I forgot that you cease to be a parent whilst at work...

repost if you love your dm - er no I'll just call her and tell her rather than some stupid fb post I didn't even create myself.

Repost if you love your dds - nope they are not old enough to see it so how about I go and talk to them and show them my love?

Last summer dh had a bit of a fall out with his dm. She kept posting stupid posts about loving her sons. The main issue was dm never calls dh and when he calls her she never actually asks how he is etc, but that's fine as we know she loves him via fb Hmm

I comment on the missing children ones that my friends share, usually along the lines of 'A quick google before sharing would have told you that this child went missing 3 years ago for one hour' etc. I only ever share something if it makes me laugh and none of that share if you....blah, blah, blah crap!

I have been de friended for commenting though Grin

Idontseeanydragons · 09/04/2015 11:25

I have a friend at the moment who keeps posting 'like this post if you want to stay friends with me otherwise I'll delete you'. I have never liked her posts and so far have survived 4 of these attempts Grin
I'm keeping her on to see how long she can go for...

StayingSamVimesGirl · 09/04/2015 12:13

"'Share if you're proud to be mummy and love your kids' - like anyone will say 'no, I hate the little sods and I'd rather they moved out.'"

I've never actually posted that on FB, CaptainAnkles - but I have thought it plenty of times!

I got stopped by a chugger in town once, who told me he was sure I was opposed to child cruelty and would want to donate to whatever charity he was chugging for. I told him I thought it had its uses sometimes - like when the little buggers won't tidy their bedrooms - and he made this face Shock - and let me walk away.

My ultimate rage makers are all the 20-30 year olds on my fb taking a posed selfie before a night out. Pout... Check. Stand slight angle.... check. Hand on left hip.... check.
Boils my piss

Hissy · 09/04/2015 13:30

repost if you love your dm - I'm No Contact with her... she's blocked from my FB and my life.

SistersofPercy · 09/04/2015 22:58

It's apparently daughters week again. It was last week as well as the week before that.
I'd probably go so far as to say it's daughters year.

tinymeteor · 09/04/2015 23:06

I used to punch kittens but a Facebook awareness raising campaign changed me forever.

Repost if you are a massive knob

HootOnTheBeach · 09/04/2015 23:34

97% of u won't share this pic of a sad lil boy with a tragic story and also blind and cancer puppies

chrome100 · 10/04/2015 05:19

I have genuinely never seen any of these kind of posts on FB ever. This is an eye opener. Maybe you need new friends!

MusicForTheMasses · 10/04/2015 06:05

Reposting because I love my kids/son/daughter/dog . If you don't share you obviously don't. WTAF?

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 10/04/2015 06:15

Very few of my fb friends post shit like this but I've hidden the ones who do. I like trawling through the suggested friends and seeing who has an open facebook page and what shit they post, it affirms my prejudices! I found a doozy recently with endless Britain first posts about animal cruelty and Muslims. The latest was 'tesco in refused to serve a soldier in uniform in case it offended Muslim customers, repost if you think this is disgusting '
I wonder whether that tesco also refuses to sell ham and alcohol? Or whether there are no tescos in barracks towns so as to avoid serving soldiers in uniform??
It's almost amusing but also not Hmm

This is my favourite....

Ginmartini · 10/04/2015 06:41

Listen up!!

I deleted my FB account about 3 years ago. It was making me hate people I actually love in real life. And was 99% a load of shite I didn't want or need to know.

Not only do I not miss it at all and am generally less angry I honestly have not missed out on anything.

That's the most trotted out refrain I hear 'Oh I'd miss out on arrangements or speaking with my cousin in Australia'. No, anyone who is a friend will be in touch and include you in arrangements and events. And you will survive not knowing that your cousin in Australia is enjoying the sunshine! You can always email them if you want a chat.

Mrsstarlord · 10/04/2015 06:59

Ginmartini - you sound like an evangelical ex smoker.

Actually I love FB for the fact that I can have the sort of informal over the garden wall chats with people I haven't seen for years rather than having to rely on stilted emails or make sure I look presentable enough am not naked to Skype or FaceTime.
Also finding friends through other friends which wouldn't happen on email. Sharing photos etc
If that meand I have to scroll past 'daughter week' a few times or ignore candy crush saga then for me it's worth the balance. and those posts make me laugh for their ridiculousness!

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 10/04/2015 07:02

I love Facebook! I'm not about to delete it, as I said I relish the stupidity, it doesn't make me cross unless it's a person I genuinely like and respect, and that's rare. I had a friend share a graphic video of child injury and I messaged her explaining why I thought it was exploitative and unnecessary and she apologised and deleted. Likewise the person who shared a Britain first post without checking the source.

fatowl · 10/04/2015 07:17

I love Facebook - I live overseas and keep up with friends and family. I'm also a member of a worldwide volunteer organisation and a lot of networking and info sharing fine on FB.

But omg I'm with you on the stupid sharing and like this shit

I never did the no make up selfie as I don't use make up, neither did I do the ice bucket challenge - nobody died as a result

I do have a small number of exruciatingly nauseous "I love my daughter more than life" and "my daughter is my best friend" stuff saved. I threaten to post on my dds timelines if they annoy me and/or step out of line in social media - they know I'll do it!

nickelbarapasaurus · 10/04/2015 07:57

I do have a rl friend who posts that shit all the fucking time!

I also have a frie d who constantly puts her latest work offers on her personal profile rather than creating a peoper business page (think "cosmetic type stuff tupperware parties")

All those types of stuff annoy me but I scroll on by.

I shared one recently that amused me - post this if you're the best of your siblings. If it's undisputed in one hour, It's true.
Only one of my sisters is on fb, and I knew she was out all evening Grin

LynetteScavo · 10/04/2015 08:06

I had one recently warning about oranges being injected with HIV blood. Only someone thick would think the virus could survive in an orange for several weeks.

The other one I had recently was someone looking for their birth father...with lots of intimate details about him. Made me rather uncomfortable.

And no I won't make anything my status for a day just to make you and others think I care.

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 10/04/2015 08:11

Apparently there is a new thing of posting 'I found an iPhone, here are some photos from it, let's try to find the owner' as a means to track down ex partners or children who have presumably fled for their own safety.

chickenfuckingpox · 10/04/2015 08:33

i never post "my child is missing" posts because they usually are people fleeing for there lives or dv cases one was even a forced adoption (parents taken to court and rights terminated) bio parents kept snatching the children back they used facebook to find them and people share because they care
