If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally you get shot. 2 Americans were jailed for 8 years for entering Iran illegally. Come to the UK illegally and get benefits, free healthcare and free education for your children.
First comment from thick friend agreed with the status, so I decided to let the person know why the status she thinks is clever is actually stupid, going over each claim made therein.”
Oh gawd! This sort of thing is usually posted by the same ignoramuses that post statuses with 'If my Engerland flag offends you, then go back to where you came from' and the like.
Other posts that annoy me are the ones making claims that Facebook is going to start charging. No it's not! Facebook makes plenty of money from advertising revenue to ever need to charge.
Posts claiming 'insert name' is a paedophile who is going round Facebook adding children. There is never any evidence to back up the claims of such posts. The poster just blindly copies n pastes without even finding out if the claims are true before they possibly commit liable in some innocent person's name.
There is a great page on Fb called Hoax Slayer which is brilliant if you ever wish to provide evidence to refute any wild claims seen copied n pasted by sheep.
