Am I a bastard...
... for not joining any groups or causes about Baby P on Facebook? I must be getting about 3 invites a day and I'm ignoring the lot.

Yes its very sad what happened there, and its very wrong. But I dont see what joining numerous Facebook groups isnt going to make any difference.

No, you're not..
People are entitled to feel sad about it, but you don't have to join some kind of morally outraged witch-hunt.

You're better than the Daily Heil crowd.

the abiliy to be outraged by things that do not affect them whatsoever

these are the same
"where's maddie?" and "queen of hearts" mob. Complete knee-jerk reactionaries who will jump on any band wagon as long as it's case specific.

And yes, it was terrible what happened.

I fucking hate those campaigns
80% of the people "outraged" are only doing it to be seen to be outraged. It's not like some stupid campaign is going to resurrect the kid. Baby P died because people suck, they are a virus and a cancer. End of discussion, that's all there is, the right wing press can go rape their mothers.

Christ I'm grumpy this morning.

My status reads this
How many Facebook groups does it take to change a lightbulb?

None. They couldn't change a fucking thing.

The people who join these groups are morons, my friends and family included.

Couldn't agree more.
My sister keeps inviting me to join causes and groups for Baby P, all of which I have ignored. I don't get what she hopes to achieve by joining all the moronic crap on Facebook. But she wouldn't get it if I told her why it is moronic.
I mean, it's not going to bring him back to life is it?
As for the Facebook status, mind if I copy you? :)

copy away
Everyone should put it as a reminder to our moronic friends that their attempts to change the world are futile.

Is it any coincidence that the people in these groups also have a problem with spelling?
