Facebook Images
14 Answers
I have only recently joined Facebook - I signed up because I wanted to join the history page for my childhood village and now do the whole 'friends' thing. Every time I look at it there are bloody awful pictures of suffering. Do some people spend all of their time looking up the most depressing pictures on the internet and posting them on their Facebook page? I have just looked at a friend`s post and it`s a picture of two hapless rabbits with their backs shaved, strung out on a table testing sunscreen. The other week she had a picture of a dog with it`s legs cut off. If people feel so strongly about animal cruelty, wouldnt they be better off lobbying for change instead of depressing everyone and preaching to the converted?

I know what you mean SJ but you have to take the good with the bad on FB. Usually it's pics of people's bloomin' dinner...and now we have 'repeats - people reposting stuff from one... two...or more years ago.

She`s actually one of my best friends but she has moved to the country and has become all ethical - always posting stuff from pressure groups. The bunnies picture was about buying products which have been tested on animals which is ironic because she is a right hypochondriac and has probably taken more drugs that have been tested on animals than I have had hot dinners. I guess she has nothing better to do.
You can unfollow posts rather than unfriend people. I felt compelled to do this with a friend that posts about there dog day in day out, I think I know it's movements (including bowel) better than the owner.
The absolute worst for sharing and posting complete drivel is MrAC. I have tried to have a reasonable conversation with him about his unnecessary, outdated ideas in the form of his posts/pictures on his wall, but he will not listen. He still doesn't understand facebook and think he is 'sharing' stuff to himself. I try not to come down to hard because he has come a long way in the few years since having his laptop. I have learnt to ignore his posts, as I'm sure his FB friends do, too

Ironically, she is the person who persuaded me to do the 'friends' part of Facebook because she said it would be a great way to keep in touch with what each other is doing. I don`t follow her though. I don`t follow anyone. The first thing I do when I get a new friend is unfollow them. But Facebook now has a feature on the left of the page (where your friends are) which says that they have a new post. So I thought, I`d just have a look expecting her to have posted a picture of her place at Christmas or a view from the area that she is still exploring and I get the bunny picture. Maybe she should stick up a warning ie "Distressing picture" or something.
