"Don't allow registered sex offenders on Facebook"

is a group on facebook.  My uncle, a former cop, likes it.

How in the hell do people think this could be monitored?

Re: "Don't allow registered sex offenders on Facebook"

  • I know that I had to go through an indepth criminal check to create a FB account. That's why I created Maude Bird. That 000-00-0000 SSN I used to register worked perfectly.

  • I'd join a group that didn't allow anyone under the age of 18 on FB.

  • i'd join one that didn't allow people over the age of 50 on it.

  • I'd join one that limited the number of pictures of your baby making the same face over and over again.

  • I cannot stand people who take facebook so seriously.  If you don't hang out with sex offenders, you probably will never encounter one on facebook.  And if you're letting your 12 year old dress like a skank and post pictures of herself on Facebook, you should be worried about a whole lot more than whether or not a registered sex offender may or may not be her friend.

    I was also really irritated a few weeks ago when people kept telling me I had to change my profile pic to a cartoon character to ward off child molesters or something.  WTF?  Does Rubic the Amazing Cube have magical molesticide that can reach pervs through the internet?

  • To me this is like the "stop wasting our tax dollars on druggies, require monthly mandatory drug tests for any recipient of federal/state aid!" comments. STFU if you can't even think far enough through that idea to realize how ungodly expensive it would be to implement and would cost taxpayers MORE.

  • I have the same reaction, but I can't bring myself to mock any of my friends publicly for it yet.

    This seems like a good place to put this confusing message I got recently. Of all the ways one could "raise awareness" (how exactly does this help, anyway?), I think posting the word "gin" in your FB status is probably the most effective thing possible.

    We are playing a game. Someone proposed that we GIRLS do something special in Facebook to help gain awareness for Breast Cancer. It's so easy that I'd like you to join us to help it spread! Last year it was about writing the color of the bra you were wearing in your FB status... and it left men wondering for days why the girls had (apparently random) colors as their status. This year it has to do with our love relationships...in other words, where you are in your relationships at the present time. You will indicate where you are currently by posting a 'code' word from the list below in your status. For example, if you are single, you would post the word "tequila."

    tequila: I'm a single woman
    rum: I'm a touch and go woman
    champagne: I'm an engaged woman
    Red Bull: I'm a woman in a relationship
    beer: I'm a married woman
    vodka: I'm the "other one"
    Sprite: I'm a woman who can't find the right man
    whiskey: I'm a single woman but my friends won't stop partying
    liquor: I'm a woman who wishes she was single
    gin: I'm a woman who wants to get married

    All you need to do now is post the word from the above list that best represents your situation as your FB status (DON'T REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, JUST POST THE WORD IN YOUR STATUS.) Then, copy and paste this message and send it to all of your girlfriends as a MESSAGE. The Bra game reached the news. Let's try to get this one on the news, too! Help us show everyone how powerful women really..

    This makes me want to claw someones eyes out.  The flucking FB games are the dumbest things I've ever read and give me such rage, which I know is ridiculous.  The one a month or two ago where people would message you a # and then you'd post in your status made me stabby and stay off of FB for a week

     "#293874923857, you were my BFF in high school but then in college I slept with your one true love.  I'm sorry for that and I'm glad we've reconnected via FB.  LYLAS"

  • I am so glad I haven't gotten that.

    Though I'm tempted to just post VODKA REDBULL or RUM CHAMPAGNE or something.

  • Those things are stupid.  The only thing they're good for are inspiring Onion articles about how child abuse magically stopped.

  • Ugh. The purse thing on FB this fall made me irrationally angry. I posted a status about it, and some girl got pissy that I was "giving the game away."
  • No one I know does this. By far the worst (and pretty much only) thing I've seen was a girl I had a flirtation with in HS posted the whole "Americans speak ENGLISH" bs. Nothing political, no weird "I love kittens and puppies and my family and if you love me repost this in 30 seconds or I'll cut myself and it's your fault."

    Okay, actually my daughter's GS troop leader has an addiction to "liking" shiit on <3, so I know she likes swearing, bad 80s music and so on. But she's in the middle of a divorce, so I'm giving her a pass.

    Overall, I'm pretty disappointed.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • I am currently rolling my eyes at the latest "it's your uncle's cousin's former roommate week" repost  if you love so and so.  Thankfully she posted this new one or would I've been concerned she only loves her mother,brother, sister, and cousins.

     HUSBAND & WIFE WEEK: If your spouse is your best friend, who works hard for you, who has been with you through thick and thin, who loves you even when you're at your worst, and whom you are PROUD to be married to, copy and paste this with the date you were married.

    I LOLed at the first comment she got though, "What if you can't stand the biitch?"

    I admit to doing the cartoon thing but I don't think I ever posted the status to guilt others into in. But then again I was more motivated by the desire to look at the Popples instead of myself then raising awareness.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
