@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

Another good response before unsub-ing would have been a linik to wombles recent book.

Why didn't I think of that? I am a terrible businessperson. That book is full of infanticide.

On the other hand those people are probably not its natural audience.

I went back to that paged armed with science.

Someone had already beat me to the punch... sort of.  The first comment from a lady named Cindy was "I think she is about to eat it. =o LOL"

So I commented "Cindy, that's highly likely. Squirrels often eat their babies. Perhaps that's the human emotion this photo is describing. Eat your babies, it's what every devoted mother does."

Which caused the person who posted this nonsense to comment "Lmao....i would surely have eaten mine Paul, if I'd had any... ;D"

Clearly, the only thing to do at this point is to post Ash's link.  At least I won't be subjected to them anymore.  I wonder if I'll still get constant invites to see her band play.  Probably.

Another friend just posted this on their wall "I have so many smart FB friends - It is fun to cruise through their posts and simply pass them on by sharing. Much better than getting an email that works like a chain letter."

(fingers unsubscribe button)

A few minutes she "shared" this...


Man, I really love this unsubscribe button.

See, I read that another way: this particular friend admits that she is is 4% unfunny and 2% nonsexy, rather than being a 100% funny and 100% sexy individual.

Because that's the first thing that picture looked like to me.

How can you look at that and not think that it's about to eat its baby? That was the first thing that came to my mind and I can't look at it any other way.

This is exactly the thing! Peoples' minds are so warped about animals that the first thing they think is that they are cute and darling and loving. When they are obviously about to eat their babies. How did this happen? What is wrong with us? This is why I wrote the book.

If you think the occasional (or frequent, or any) use of profanity is ok, and doesn't discredit everything you're trying to say, hit the like button.
If you do, please delete me from your friends list. You've shown me how stupid you are, and will save me the trouble from doing it myself in the near future.

Thanks, and have a fuck*ng awesome day!

So I unfriended him.  I don't entirely disagree with him, but yeah, I think profanity is at best unnecessary when you are trying to take a point.   

To be fair, I hardly knew the dude so it's no big loss and one less bloody fuck*ng wanker on my Facebook wall.

I have a strict limit of 150 Facebook friends. I'm at the limit right now, so if I meet one more interesting person, some of the people I haven't spoken to since high school are going to go.

His post was really poorly written for a diatribe about communication.

So I'm supposed to click like, and then delete him from my list? My guess is that he means "If you do think that profanity discredits any argument, then delete blah blah blah."
