isn't it annoying when your friendster bulletin board has this one bulletin with a really interesting title (like, for example, cool websites), then you click it, and it turns out to be a chain letter?
i don't know why this random topic just entered my head. it just bugs me a lot how lots of my intelligent schoolmates (even high school students) believe in this junk. i mean, what the heck?
like they believe that some dead girl dripping in blood will appear at the foot of their bed with a knife. heck, if i wrote a chain letter saying if they don't repost it, they'll die in three days, they'd believe it.
i've read and ignored like a jillion chain letters since i've been online. i only repost ones about god/religion, because i'm catholic and i believe in and love god with all my soul, so that's a pretty good reason. some chain letters sound really scary, like "your mom will die in two days", but i've ignored like ten of those and my mom's still alive. she's not even sick! :P
i've ignored tons of someone-will-appear-at-the-foot-of-your-bed-with-a -knife type of chain letters, and nothing really happened to me. i had a good night's sleep even!
i find this incident very stupid: i was leafing through a friend's autograph book, when i chanced upon the page of a girl i didn't really like. she wrote pretty (blech), nice (as if), and smart. well, she did get second honors, but she's reposted practically a billion chain letters on friendster! how's that for smart? hahaha!
why do people make chain letters, though? to conduct an experiment and see if people are gullible (more like stupid) enough to believe that pile of trash they just posted? because they were bored? because they wanted to scare people on that day because they thought halloween was not enough to scare the life out of everyone?
i also hate those everytime you send this to someone, this person will contribute one dollar to blah blah blah. geez, the world isn't that technologic yet.
i think i've said enough. this little entry deserves an A+. if our english teacher ever needs an essay about idiotic beliefs, i am going to fully submit this and i will get a standing ovation, i hope.
