Everday I log into Facebook only to find I have more new invites to a Facebook group that claims that when they have 1,000,000 members we’ll be able to achieve world peace. Can I say that this is a complete crock of shit? I’m pretty sure if we could have world peace with a Facebook group we would have done it by now don’t you think? Sure go ahead call me an asshole, prick, whatever you feel like. To be quite honest all these groups are good for is spamming my inbox with their mindless dribble.

My favourite invites are the ones to join a group to save some tiny little country in Africa. How is my joining of a group going to save the country? Are you going to email the leader of the country and let them know you now have 2,500 members in the group? Do expect that to be a motivator for the country to turn things around? I’m quite sure what you want me to do is join your group and then every 24 hours send me a message asking me for money. Thanks, but no thanks.

People need to get it through their heads that Facebook is not a world saving tool. You could even go beyond that to say that you probably get spammed for all sorts of shit. Shit, I get an invite to this musical event that takes place in India at least three times a week. I don’t even live there, let alone would I want to go there. Perhaps all these people should take into consideration who they are inviting to these damn things. Maybe I’ll just start blocking these asshats?
