My lads and their partners, my sister, nieces etc. are all on FB, no problems. They share photos, stories, jokes whatever. There are settings aren't there for privacy so not everyone sees everything? Chat forums fill different needs for different people. Some, like Jimmy for example, just want to talk about the footie and nothing else. Others want to talk about footie and will talk a bit of OT stuff, others are all over everything morning, noon and night. That's just 3 different groupings without really analysing. And RHC who makes up an entire group on his own [don't tell him I said that - he can't see this can he]
I mean his lack of quality clothes and his continuous wearing of the same clothes, the mess he leaves in his bedroom on view to anyone and everyone who views his videos. He needs protecting against doing things that will come back and bite him on the arse. I once on this site saw he had posted his email address and quickly pm'd him to tell that was a mistake and to delete it, he thanked me which is fair enough but he jumps in feet first without thinking of any consequences. I see your point about him having a right to have the choice but the lads choices on social media sites seem to be the wrong ones mainly due to his condition. I meant thats sad not about him being "happy" Just my humble non controversial opinion.
Don't encourage him you cock, he's been itching for a jibe all thread.... (I bet he likes that post btw )
His dancing and miming videos are extremely special..... As long as he's happy it's all good However, I suspect his twitter interaction doesn't make him overly joyous lol.
I've seen him get ripped to bits on twitter because of the things I mentioned in my last post Tobes, I don't know whether praise for his inner strength to overcome it is in order or to look at it as a sad sign of his condition. He's got a catalogue of the best insults online wonder where he picked those gems up.
Don't want to glorify him by mentioning him on here. I'll pm you his name, if you wish, but he's a regular on all the posts on there.
It's incredible huh? I always find it amazing how cultured some of my frends are in their reading, viewing and listening tastes. Sometimes you would swear that the person posting isn't the person you have known for 30 odd years
But the worst....the very very worst.....one that makes my blood boil with rage.......... Posts like this, out of the blue: OP: If you want to talk **** about me behind my back then you can **** off. Two can play at the game. Why be so two faced? Friend: Whats up hun? OP: Nothing.....Ill message you. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What......the......actual.......****!!?!?! Why post it in the first place if you are not going to elaborate. Either tell me whats going on if you feel the need, or shut the **** up. Don't allude to some injustice or some perceived slight just to vie for attention and then when someone bites, you say "Nothing...." Balls to what I said earlier, this one DOES make me want to hunt them down and do physical harm to them!!
Couldn't the same be said for someone on here? For example, I have a reputation on here for being a attention seeker and ego driven, neither of which are true at all. I'm actually fairly quiet and very down to earth in reality. Pretty sure RHC as said similar before too.
yes point taken! I agree with Bod's "most annoying scenario" on facebook but the one that really gets on my tits is when people post pciture of children with Downs and says "like if you think she's pretty - ignore if you think she's ugly". Oh and recently there's been a spate of posts showing babies on life support machines with a caption along the lines of "if you ignore this you want them to die". Thanks for that!
Yeah I have seen those too. They are pathetic. I even saw one with a kid holding a sign saying that if he got a million likes then the doctors would do this operation that would save his life?! So if he didn't get a million likes the doctors would refuse and let him die?! What ****ing doctor did he go to? Nick Riviera? I would be straight on to the police and get him struck off! lol I realise that it is all a lie and there is no doctor etc, its just the ****ing ******edness of the whole scenario and people actually fall for it.
My mrs' (nm) sister does similar to that (not Downs) and it really annoyed me at first, just learnt to ignore it now. I think most of it comes down to individual personality and acceptance. I am a really laid back person and very little bothers me, I find it easy to ignore and move on.
Initially, it was to talk football. That's all I did at first which got me the "opinionated" tag for a while Things change though. Got used to using the site and got to know other users so I got more involved in the off topic stuff. I then got roped in to being a mod too; my actual words were "I'll do it if no one else will" Passes the time more than anything now; at work and whilst watching the boys. Occasionally log on whilst sat waiting somewhere such as in the mrs' (nm) work car park or in a waiting room etc. Because I use the app, it only takes a second to access the site.
