MySpace. >_<

[OhMyZeus]

Okay, on MySpace... You get people wo post bulletins ALL the time. And the bulletins are annoying. As HELL. All they say are "repost this or ur 1 true luv will leave u 2nite" or whatever.
Recently there's been a new one going 'round which has annoyed me severely..

"Month One

Mommy
I am only 8 inches long
but I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
is my favorite lullaby.



Month Two

Mommy
today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
you could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.




Month Three

You know what Mommy
I'm a boy!!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too
and I cry with you even though
you can't hear me.




Month Four

Mommy
my hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
but I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
and stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.




Month Five

You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?




Month Six


I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! HELP me!





Month Seven


Mommy
I am okay.
I am in Jesus's arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.
Why didn't you want me Mommy?






One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.





If you're against abortion, post this as...
I don't care if I lose friends over this"

Okay, that really annoys me. Everyone reposts it saying "aww how sad it made me cry" And I repost it as "This is sick. You can't have an abortion at 7 months."
The people who are reposting it have NO IDEA how stupid and false the bulletin is! And it drives me insane thatr someone would even WRITE a bulletin like that. It is WRONG. And it is giving YOUNG TEENAGERS the wrong idea. Plus, I wish my friends would open their eyes and pay attention to how stupid the bulletin is. I infact, posted another bulletin showing my opinions on the post, which involved a lot of possibly un-needed cursing, but that's how I roll...

Moving AWAY from that... Nearly everyone has MySapce, and I keep mine just to keep in contact with my friends, and yes, I do post stupid pointless bulletins, but that is because I get dreadfully bored... But the point is everyone uses it and say how cool it is when realy, it's terrible! It ALWAYS has bugs, and you get people who add EVERYONE they find with MySpace... Well, sorry. But I thought it was a place for you to mingle with friends? Other things p*ss me off too. Like the layouts people use. That you can't understand. And people who post bulletins like " New pictures! comments please" God, get over it. If they wanted to comment you, they'd do it without you telling them to!

Anyways, I could go on but I think I'll shut up now.

MySpace annoys me too, but on the other hand there are some pluses. I mean, sure, the poeple who add everyone just for the sake of it are annoying, and I don't tend to usually add back unless I know them or they're in my area (I figure it cant' hurt to try and make some friends when up at the other end of the country, and if MySpazz helps in that, then so be it). Bands, on the other hand, I only add if I like the majority of the music they have up (that is, when I can be bothered to check them out ).

When it comes to people posting things as bulletins, however, I just ignore the majority. However, I don't really agree with the way people post bulletins to begin with. I figure the blog function can be used for most of the tripe that's stuck as bulletined, unless it's an urgent announcement (eg bands needing to pimp out their upcoming gig/needing a replacement bassist for an upcoming gig etc, or for people needing to meet up or get a message through). And for the chronic bulletiners, like those that post 20 a day, usually along the lines of "I'm going to eat lunch. I'll be back in 30 mins. pls comment my pics! lol! Love u all!" or "I'm off to school in 2 mins, I LOVE coming home to commetns and pic comments *hint hint*", I usually just remove them - it saves the hassle.

With regards to the anti-abortion bulletin, I think it's just one of those differences in opinion that ou're going to have to accept, or else lose friends over it, I'm afraid. People can get quite vicious and worked-up when it comes to putting across their opinions, even if it is via propaganda that fails to include all the facts and aims to indoctrinate via pulling on the heartstrings.

(And, on a completely unrelated note, it reminds me of this article from The Onion)

Haha. That lady's sarcasm amuses me..

I'm getting continually p*ssed off with MySpazz

It has it's uses, but I agree some of the bulletins people post are annoying for the sever attention seeking and emotional blackmail. If people keep it fun I don't mind so long as it's not too silly, as well. A few bulletin games every now and again are ok I suppose.
