Facebook is mean

Posted: Mar 24, 2008 Mon 11:22 pm     Views: 273    Interacts: 5

Facebook is mean, yes, I mean it. Every other day, I get an email saying something like this: 2 per cent of my friends think I am smart and 90 per cent think I am the best potential mother. I mean what the &(*$%)^$#@!?

Honestly, if I were taking it critically, I would have fought with all my friends (I think I am damn smart and do take my smartness and smart ass attitude very seriously) by now.

100 percent of my friends (actually its just three who have voted for me) think that I am most likely to win in a fight but none think I have a better profile picture!

An overwhelming 100 percent think I am more confident and well-mannered (thank you all 11 of you) but only 2.5 percent think I am hot.

This is the last email I got from Facebook.

bhai nature lover,

in case you missed the point, the above written piece is an ironical satire on human state of affairs, written in a self effacing manner to appeal to most.

Dear Tazeen,

I share my response which I left for our sister Samina Khan.

A brotherly advice, don't show your pain to those who have no cure,..these internet forums, face books and chat rooms are illusions,..millions of lost and bored people play with each other,...interact with each other ,.and then forget each other,..

Real solution lies in the " arranged marriage " system of our society,.which is some how more compassionate and more considerate about geniune needs and requirments of existence..

Sense of importance, acceptance and immediate gratification which one receives from imaginary internet forums make one "high" for the time being ,..but in the long run , it can be disastrous,..and then poor human sings ,.." ub pichta-ay kia hoot jub chirian chug gian khet"

Regards,
