Ever heard of a private thought?

[JGlass]

This was a facebook status a friend of mine posted last night.

great grandma, you will be truly missed by all your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. you have lived such an amazing life and we are truly at a loss without you. RIP and love you always and forever. 3/1/11

I doubt your great grandmother checked up on facebook when she was alive, much less now that she's dead. If I died and went to heaven I would have much better things to do than check on my great granddaughter's facebook.

Ever heard of a private thought? It's where you think about something and don't say it out loud/make it public. It's a good thing to practice for when you're at a bar and you're checking out chicks, that way you don't verbalize the disgusting things you want to do to her after you get her properly drunk.

I understand that people want to talk to others about their feelings, but a facebook status is definitely NOT the place to do it.

No, but a wrestling forum is!

Irony noted.

 

[Stormtrooper]

actually, what that post is doing, is informing the persons friends that he has suffered a death in his family, and may not be in a right frame of mind for a little while.

Also, it's called feelings. Some people like to speak (type) nice things about recently dead people in a public forum as a way to tell everyone that they loved this person.

That message is definitely not written for the dead old lady to read, rather for everyone to feel sympathy for the person in his/her time of need.

I see no problem with it at all

Look, I can dig when someone alerts their friends that their grandparent died, but something about people putting their thoughts like that as a facebook status bugs the hell out of me.

I guess I didn't really convey my point, it's just that we've become so engrossed in social networking that we can't even handle something as human as grief anymore without the aid of technology. What ever happened to personal reflection or talking about it with your friends and family? It just saddens me that we've gotten to a point as a society where we can't have a moment without letting the world know exactly what we're thinking.

I see this as a way to get comfort from their friends during this sad time. The best way to make yourself feel better about this sort of thing is to talk about, and this generation's way of doing it instantly is online. I don't see an issue with this whatsoever.

You wouldn't.

I come across far more outlandish posts on the Fizzlebook than that.

Dudes getting some closure, perhaps it was a calculated effort to show the ladies his emotional side, or maybe he had a soft spot for old gram grams.

Also, facebook is a public social networking site meant to do exactly this, share news with people you consider close; whether it be stupid shit like updating your status with a picture of your most recent meal, or something more serious like the post you brought much attention to.

Bottom line, I have no problem with this, mainly because, that's exactly what that site was designed for.

It was a chick. Maybe she was looking for some sympathy cock... but she has a boyfriend so I doubt that's it.

I still find it sad that we need facebook as an emotional crutch. I suppose that's just me though.

I'm more annoyed by the girls who bitch and bitch about their boyfriends and such only to post a picture of them together 3 hours later. I hate women. If it wasn't for the whole vagina thing, I'd say do away with them.

Doesn't surprise me that is was a chick, bitches are all emotional n'stuff.

Personally, I keep it all in, bottled up, like a real man.

Fuck yeah you do. And then you release it through another bottle.

Or, in your case...

I've gotten pretty ripped off of a waterbottle bong in my day...

His grandmother just died, get off his dick JGlass.

 

[JGlass]

Once again, HER. I have to get off HER dick.

 

[Stormtrooper]

She's got a dick?! That's not common for women...

Oh, SSC put it perfectly. She just reached out to everyone that she suffered a loss. That's what Facebook is for. It would be the same if she telephoned all her friends, except this took her about 1 minute 17 seconds, instead of hours on end.

 

[Coco]

I'm surprised more people don't have a problem with someone throwing themself in front of a crowd and begging for sympathy. Where has the masculinity gone in this world?

What the fuck does she need to call all her friends for?

Keep it among close confidants for the sake of all things holy and dignified.
