Quote: keewik @ 30th March 2014, 9:32 PM BSTThey're remembering a dead relative and feeling sad.
They're only feeling sad about being left out of the loop as the overwhelming tide of Mother's Day messages washes over Facebook. They're either not a mother themselves or don't have a mother anymore, but want to participate in the masses dogmatically posting the same thing to show affinity and a belonging to the collective.
Now, if you really want to see my irony meter explode, then watch me check in tomorrow and witness the same people wishing their dead Mum in heaven a lovely day, blindly copying and pasting the same old atheist propaganda captions that normally litter Facebook.
Quote: Renegade Carpark @ 30th March 2014, 9:06 PM BSTUnless someone's mother spent all day on Facebook putting up messages of faux compassion, then I think tributes should be in keeping with the dead. It's why we don't have clown cars at Remembrance Sunday.
I don't for one second believe that people are putting these messages up as some form of thoughtful, deeply moving, digital tribute - this is all about them, their need for attention and most worryingly of all, the desire to sell fake emotions as real. They're saying: 'Look at me, look how much I care, everyone feel sorry for me and the harrowing ordeal I must be going through, sympathise...now!'
Most of the people who put up these messages have a dead elderly relative that a) never went on Facebook, b) thought the Internet was for child abuse and c) would probably find this kind of fake, annoying, rubbish as being utterly pitiful.
'We didn't get on when she was alive, I haven't visited her grave in four years, but look, I've managed to operate the keyboard on my phone during Sunday lunch.'
All too often I'm baffled by who it is you're actually trying to wind up.

The usual people - those who demanded that teenage rioters were machine gunned in the street, but then complained six months later when it's revealed that a 15 year old had been Tazered by the cops.

And if the script only took 12 days to write, chances are it is a bad script.

I read some of your other post. Are you Rip Van Winkle?

Amazing! The reply came before the question.

Renegade I don't know anyone on the BCG who expresses both of those opinions, I struggle to think of anyone who believes either.
Come on this is a ridiculous windup that you don't even seem to believe in.
It's so far off the mark its not even coherent argument making.
