Hey Grandma, get off the Internet

OMG, my grandmother is the queen of the email forward. Every single day, I get my inbox filled with garbage, most of which I delete. Here's the latest gem. How is it that people still can be so biased? WTF

Catholic  eye-opener  Something to think about.................
>  Charity Hospital run by the Sisters of

> developed the plasma system in the 1930's that saved so

Re: Hey Grandma, get off the Internet

  • I think I would have a hard time not responding to this one. Wow. I get emails like this from my H's grandpa and eventually just had to ask him to remove me from his list.

  • My aunt sends stuff like that, and she's only 55.  Blows my mind.

    I can't even tell you how many times I've received anti-some group/religion/ethnicity emails from her. These are a million times worse than the anti-Democrat ones I usually receive.

    I'm so glad no one is stupid enough to email me crap like this.

    I have a cousin who changed part of her name on FB to "freedomlover" and posts all of her anti-government stuff all over the place.  When I changed over to gmail, I didn't tell her so I'd stop getting her wacky emails.

    This was her FB post around 15 minutes ago....
    Oh, say! Can you see by the drones early strike?
    What so humbly we failed at the twilight's last gleaming;
    We lost our rights and liberties, through the avoided fight,
    Not one rampart we watched? We were so gallantly sleeping.
    And big brother’ cold stare, tear gas choking the air,
    Gave proof through the night that our freedoms not there:
    Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner get sold out
    O'er the land of the slave and the home of the coward?

  • OMG.  The fact that people send this stuff around makes me truly scared for the future of our society.  I always wonder if the same people would freely express this kind of opinion face to face to someone rather than just forwarding it to everyone the know via computer.  People have become so desensitized to the hatred that they are spreading around.
  • Maybe I should just email her back this response, since someone else has already done the work for me: https://www.chicagonow.com/midwestern-muslim/2014/01/muslims-dont-contribute-to-america-think-again/

    Do you think she would then forward your article to everyone on her list without reading it first? That could make for some interesting replies!

    WTF?

    Plastic water bottles contain BPA, which can affect (dear god I hope I chose the right one) your estrogen levels. I'm not gonna lie I think it played a part in my thyroid problems. At the time I was drinking a shit ton of water out of a reusable bottle (can't think of the brand right now). This was before the BPA free stuff. I left it in my car on super hot days and still drank out of it, etc. I was at my healthiest and then boom hypothyroid out of no where.

  • Wow....so much wrong with that.
    They already performed surgery in the orient - Jews and Muslims - while in Christian Europe people still got leached by barber-surgeons and died like flys. Tell grandma to put that in her pipe and smoke it.
