One of the girls I work with posted up something about the best way to stop school shootings was to stick every unemployed veteran in a school with a gun.

I heard that one too, and while it's over the top, at least there is a silver lining or two: keeps retired elderly people busy, it's good to have different generations keep in touch (esp. if said veterans friends/family are dying off), and they are at least trained professionals with guns. Still an awful idea on the whole though, I agree (especially since they love to complain about taxes, and effectively never retiring people from the military would just continue to increase them).

The best one I heard was arming the teachers with guns, as in having firearms holstered on to them!

Is no one else miffed that they got the maths wrong?

They should be saying it is 603 times more dangerous not 603% more dangerous I mean seriously basic maths if they can't handle that they probably shouldn't participate in arguments over gun control.

One friend, a great friend actually, posts things that make her sound so stupid. Rubbish like...Happy birthday Hun, miss your face xxxx.

She went on holidays skiing to the "alpes". Constant spelling mistakes and it makes her sound so bimbo ish. This girl is a scientist with a masters and a great job but to look at her profile you'd question if she was still in school, and possibly failing out!!

Is this a thing...highly intelligent 30year old successful women dumbing themselves down to tween level?

I wonder sometimes, I have a few people on my friends list who are perfectly sane and intelligent to talk to in real life but post the most inane nonsense and like/share ridiculous crap all the time. It's kinda mind boggling.

Fair play. Far too many idiots/retards here feeling morally outraged for something they may never have anything to do with. And I hope your sister has as happy a life as is humanly possible.

Cheers, she's doing grand. She's actually a baker!

My cousin is in her late 20s and a scientist that graduated top of her class. This is her on Facebook

"Aw hun yhu luk stunnyn in ur debs fotos, luv yhu xx ps cheq ur inbox yhu hav mail!xXx

Another girl on my Facebook, dunno about her qualifications but is quite intelligent in conversations, and insists on capitalizing every word in her status. Go figure.

Is she Asian?

I'm not a fan of abbreviating for text messages but can see the point at times (e.g. "msg" or "tmr") but when people go out of their way to spell words incorrectly, sometimes even adding on letters to do so, it really leaves me speechless. Speechless and angry.

Same, I use "u" in place of a "you" if I have to send a quick text, "yeah meet u later" or something, it's perfectly fine. But "yhu"? It's the same amount of fucking letters! Just spell it right!

She's Irish! My younger sister always used this ridiculous "yhu" instead of "you" and "anal" instead of "and all" but to be fair she was about 12 at the time. And it was bebo :P

My (otherwise quite literate) pal always posts "whow!!" when she's amazed by something. Drives me nuts!

(I am a self-confessed grammar Nazi. Quite what I'm doing on this thread at all I'm not entirely sure.....)

Edit- On a lighter note for those who come here for a laugh "The retarded policeman" on Youtube is hilarious. Hopefully some actual dumb/great facebook status soon

No that can't be it...

My 18 year old second cousin posted a status today just saying "finally" and nothing else. Of course there were loads of comments asking her what she was talking about. So ridiculous - the worst kind of vaguebooking.

My husband's cousin also posts about three statues a week vaguely referring to people talking behind her back and you know who your real friends like kind of ****e. It scares me that she is a woman in her thirties with a child and still going in for that kind of carry on.

Long overdue bowel movement? Maybe it's my diet but that's the first thing that comes to my mind.

I think you're showing your age there!

She never enlightened her enraptured audience so I've no idea what she was on about.

Similarly, a relative of a former flatmate of mine used "yhoo" instead of "you" (she was in final year of college). It's pointlessly adding a letter

Super-Rush · 06-09-2013 12:01AM

This thread is for taking the piss out of/laughing at dumb/great FB statuses ONLY.

Nothing else.

If you want to debate the rights and wrongs of certain words then go start a thread about it please.

Final warning.

Got to love the 'desperately jump up and down for attention' crowd; they really are most noticeable in social media. I wonder what the correlation between people with these types of posts and "serial selfie" takers is?

Multiple posts deleted in case you're wondering.

Australian friend (never been in Ireland) posted this. It's getting out of control.
