Facebook petitions and groups

[LissyDoll]

I'm constantly getting requests to join groups such as 'Baby P's torturers - named and shamed', 'Stop Bear Baiting', 'We want answers for Baby P', etc.
There are obviously disgusting things going on in the world and I was as saddened and sickened as everyone else about what happened to that poor baby, but what do these groups actually achieve?

they dont acheive anything, but some people feel that they want to be doing something.

I havnt accepted any of the invitations like that.

These are the same folk that would attack a paediatricians house for looking at kids

or anyone with the same name


slightly unbalanced and looking for somewhere to vent their anger


The crime is terrible

but these folk are just slightly unbalanced.
The people are in custody and will be jailed and will suffer


Facebook seems to be a magnet to these sort of groups .

these facebook groups are just a bit bizarre. I recently had an 'invite' to join the Barclays slide. What the hell was that all about? It sounded so boring I didn't even bother looking into it.

I'm sure the ones who start these petitions mean well, but I don't think they actually achieve anything at all.

Glad there are others who feel the same way. I was starting to wonder if it was me just being insensitive. It's not that I don't care, because I deeply do. Facebook groups are getting a bit ridiculous now though x
