Dumb/Great Facebook Status {merge} [No Names]

    F*cking hell. A (very young) person on my Facebook list just liked a photograph of a dead child in a coffin, with "This is <name> who died yesterday when he fell out of a tractor he was on with his grand-dad. He was only 5 years old. Share this picture to show your respects. RIP. xxxx"

    I don't think my Facebook friend knew the child, it's like those "Share this status to raise awareness" things. But that picture has over 219,000 likes. :eek:

    I don't see how sharing a photo of a dead child that you'd never met is showing respect! I had to click "hide story". So disturbing!!!!!

    That is beyond horrendous:(
    I know a girl who put up photos of her stillborn baby. Of course I felt terrible for her loss, but Jesus, that was going a bit too far.

    Anyone who says that, "Whoop Whoop" or "nom nom nom" deserves any beating that comes their way.

    Obvious frape is obvious tbh...
    Seen that one quite a few times.

    The I'm dropping out of college/emigrating/got fired etc. Frapes used to be good but people are learning not to trust those either

    It's like this, someone dies or whatever and it's on facebook. Not much is kept quiet due to facebook. It's a sad sign of the times.

    The dead child thing might be a part of some sort of 'share this picture and Facebook will donate €3 etc.' I've a few people complaining about this on my newsfeed 'ffs another dead baby photo on changes! Will you all stop this crap and realise Facebook are not going to donate every time you share a disturbing photo you bunch of thicks'. Luckily it appears no direct friends of mine are doing this..

    Facebook statuses can be illerate, dumb, melodramatic, idiotic, overly sentimental, stupidly personal and borderline retarted, but none, and I mean none, annoy me more than a simple little ..

    :-(

    usually followed by

    "u ok pet? xx"
    "nuthin, il tell u l8r, dnt wna tlk bout it on fb xx"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭keithsfleet


    Seen this on a friends status the other day.

    "Tea ,biccies & a nice hot bath...the solution to all lifes problems!!"

    One of the lads who doesn't really even know her replied

    "I tried that and it's bull****, i'm still broke, ugly and hiv positive. Alcohol on the other hand...."

    I'm a gentleman, so I won't say exactly how much over, but it wouldn't be inconceivable that this person might have their own fifteen-year old kids, though thankfully they haven't bred!

    It was a disappointing match but we'll take the win. Nacewa probably was one of the few who deserved man of the match. The only one who made decent breaks in the match

    You are not on the team! You can only say "we" if you're on the team FFS :mad:

    Fluoresence I hear ya. Hate when lads talk about soccer on facebook as if they're in the team. This "we" business on facebook when it comes to soccer is laughable:rolleyes:

    you don't seem to understand the concept of being a fan of a sports team

    how exactly are they basking in someone else's glory?

    By using words like our/we/us to describe someone else's achievements.

    "We won the match!" No, the team you follow won. You watched, drank beer and scratched your bum.

    Have to disagree. When I see this notion peddled, as Batistuta said, I get the feeling that the person doesn't really understand the idea of being a sports fan. And is kind of looking for things to be irritated over, like does it really bother you enough that you're sitting at home pulling your hair out over it?

    Sports is just another form of entertainment, it exists to entertain people who either watch or participate in it. And part of the fun is cheering your team on for 50 games a season. So you feel a close bond with them and other fans of them as you're all emotionally invested in their success. That's where the 'we' comes from. It's more showing solidarity, uniting yourself in pride for your team whether they win ot lose, not trying to take credit for them winning. People who say it don't think they're a part of the team. Someone believing THAT notion is moronic.

    Granted there are many sports fans that sensible, there are just as many who are not though and carry on and on about an array of quite moronic topics mildly related to football/rugby/GAA or whatever. The endless rows over who won this and whos better at that, the roaring and cursing at the screen because the best in the world are 'F**king useless' and the worst, the pointless insulting of fans of other teams.

    Not denying that. All I'm saying is that only a twat uses "we" to refer to a football team. :D

    "We won the match!" No, the team you follow won. You watched, drank beer and scratched your bum.

    they'd be referring to themselves as fans of the football club with saying 'we', the club as a whole. a football club being more than the 18 selected members of the first team squad or the maximum 14 that participated in the game they just won

    but maybe it's more to do with the way a large number of people use to describe their supported team, with the 'we' and if talking to a friend about their team saying 'yous'.

    i don't say 'we' that often when talking about the team i support but occasionally do, and i see/know your point on it; maybe that's why i don't use 'we' too often but i know why people use 'we'
