More Ignorance
I HATE STUPIDITY.
I was enraged when I read the following bulletin that was posted on Myspace. How ignorant can people be? Read this nonsense:
Subject: Under age users
Hi Folks,
As you may have noticed, many myspaces have been deleted. This is due to the underage users that abuse the privileges of myspace. I understand that there are many memories from myspace that are irreplaceable so i lowered the age to 14. Please pass this on because we have attached a !!special tracking device!!. If you repost this, you will be safe from being deleted. If you don’t repost this, you will be tracked and your myspace will be searched throughly for underage users. Repost this message saying “Underage Users”. Thank youMyspace Creator,
Tom
First of all, some moron writes something claiming to be Tom and everyone believes it. This is why phishing is so successful – people believe everything and give away their info. First of all, explain to me how can a !!special tracking device!! can be attached to a stupid website? There’s no such thing as a special tracking device. Even if there was one, how would it get your age? The only way people get their myspaces deleted are by RATS that report them. Otherwise, they don’t know if you’re 12, 18 or a 59 year old pedophile. Secondly, whats with the special !!exclamation points before and after!! the word tracking device? I don’t know what language you speak, but in English, one exclamation point goes after the sentence. But I’m sure that in dumbass-lish, it probably translates to “ZOMG this needs to lyk stand out. lyk OMGZs its lik 1300% true iffff notytt I’ll lyk dyyyyyEEEE” (Yeah that wasn’t supposed to make sense).
Anyway this rant is a follow up to my chain letter rant, because nothing pisses me off more than ignorant people who fall for internet rumors and keep reposting chain letters. Maybe if I got this once I’d let it slide, but when 30 people repost the same thing, it shows me that morons really believe that it’s true. The U.S. really need to make a law that bans these morons from the internet.
I hate Myspace. It’s corrupting people.
A stupid person says:
I can see where you get irritated. but its really kinda ‘stupid’ to put that much negativity towards other peoples mishaps. I did it because I am not some computer nerd who knows everything about a computer and the Internet, while having no social skills to interact like a decent human being towards others. I just happened to put a new layout on my page and I wasn’t taking any chances that some ** would delete it because of a ** kid.
I will be more selective on what I believe in the future, but calling people stupid because they don’t spend their entire lives sitting in front of a computer learning the ends and outs of the cyber world is pretty lame. We are here to just have fun.. this isn’t real life…

You do not have to be skilled with computers to realize any chain message is bull trash invented by some bored idiot who has nothing better to do with their life. Chain letters have been around since before computers (in the old days they were sent by mail), so don\’t use the excuse that I know a lot about computers.
I don\’t appreciate your insulting tone towards me. Keep it in to yourself. I guarantee you others will agree with me. People like you are an example of such ignorance (*cough* look at your username*cough*).
