"Become a Fan"

Some people absolutely amaze me. Even people I don't even know surprise me but lately it has been for all the wrong reasons. Today I saw that one of my friends on Facebook had become "a fan of Not Being Raped". This just served to remind me of all the other crap that gets put up on Facebook lately. I mean sure I once joined a group called "Not Being On Fire" because I thought it was funny. And it is. People dont normally just end up on fire but making a joke about rape, as far as I'm concerned, is vile.

Rape is NOT funny.

Its one of the most disgusting and hateful crimes that exists in this world and I just don't see why people would want to make a public joke across the internet about it. I mean think about people who may have genuinely been through such a traumatic experience and then they go on the internet and have to see people making fun of it. It is just one of the many things that has made Facebook less and less attractive to me personally.

A couple of weeks ago a 12 year-old boy in Queensland was stabbed to death and a tribute page was set up in his memory but unfortunately some people took it upon themselves to desecrate this page. They posted porn, bestiality and picture of the boy himself with captions like "yay I'm dead!" What the fuck is wrong with there people? I'll state the obvious again for anyone who doesn't get it.

Young children being murdered is NOT funny.

On the plus side these people were tracked down and criminally prosecuted but they set a precedent and week later when an 8 year-old girl was abducted from her bed and murdered similar things were done to her tribute page.

I understand that people in society today are bored. You wouldn't think so with the amount of technology, sport, tv, music and cinema we have today but people, especially my age, are bored shitless. And this causes us to do stupid things, however I still don't see how the heinous crimes and the genuine suffering of others can cause joy for people.

There are things about this world I love so much but unfortunately people just make me lose all faith in humanity sometimes.

Well I best end my rant/expression of disbelief there. My last posting was waaaayy too long and I could complain about people for hours here.

Let me know your thoughts on this people. I am being unreasonable or have you noticed this stuff too?

Till next time.....
