I would just like to take a moment to discuss some disturbing trends I've been seeing on Facebook lately. Firstly, the grammar alone is enough to make me want to slap people with a dictionary. "Lose" and "Loose" are not the same things. "Their, there, and they're" all have separate meanings, as do "too" and "to". Look it up
Poor grammar, however, isn't nearly as disturbing as most of the crap I've seen on there lately. I mentioned in my last blog how much it annoys me when people shove their religion down everyone else's throat. And it's not just around the Holiday season that people do this. One of the most disturbing examples that I saw recently was a picture of Jesus with the words "If you love God, share and like...if you love the devil, keep on scrolling..." I had so many problems with this post. Firstly I don't like posts that guilt people into sharing or liking said post. Secondly, REALLY? So either you're a Christian or a Satan-worshipper? WTF? These kinds of posts are just straight-up offensive and ignorant. As mentioned above, I don't like posts that guilt people into sharing or liking said post. Another one I saw that bothered me was a picture of a bald child (obviously bald as a result of chemotherapy) with the caption "Most of you won't repost this because apparently you're 'TOO COOL' but really you're selfish. Repost this in honour of those fighter cancer." I just got pissed off when I saw this post. Posting a picture on your Facebook profile isn't going to do anything to help cancer research. If you want to actually do something to help those fighting cancer, there's plenty of things you can do that's actually helpful. There's the relay for life, fundraising, and plenty of volunteer opportunities. For more information about how you can do something that requires more effort and has a great effect than pressing the 'share' button, head over to The Canadian Cancer Society's webpage at www.cancer.ca Sitting on your high horse thinking you're so superior because you posted a picture on your profile isn't helping anyone. Things on Facebook that annoy me #3: People who post about illegal activity. An example that I saw recently was "Smoke a couple bowls before work I guess....then go suffer for 7 hours" I don't think I need to explain why this kind of shit bugs me. It's just straight up stupid. Things on Facebook that annoy me #4: Trying to get lots of likes on your status by posting a common experience. Ex. "Like my status if you use your cell phone as a flashlight" Things on Facebook that annoy me #5: Posting about your "first world problems" Ex. Daddy cut up my credit cards because I spent too much at the mall." Shut the hell up, you spoiled bitches. Things on Facebook that annoy me #6: Posting something like "I had such a bad day" and then when someone asks what happened, responding with something like "I don't want to talk about it." Why would you advertise on fb that you had a crappy day if you don't want to talk about what happened? Stop being such an attention whore. Things on Facebook that annoy me #7: People who use other people's walls as a message board for their views. Last year, a girl from my home town was murdered. I posted on my status something to the effect of "I can't believe that God would allow something like this to happen" One person decided to use the opportunity to harp on about how God obviously doesn't exist, and when people posted comments that were actually helpful, called their beliefs bullshit. If someone posts a status that is obviously grieving for someone, don't take that opportunity to shit all over their beliefs, or lack thereof. It's just not classy. I could go on with this list for a while, but those are all my big peeves. So until next time, Be good.
