When was the last time you wanted to bitch slap someone?
a facebook friend has been posting "Put this as your status if you or somebody you know has suffered BABY LOSS. ♥ The majority won't put it on, because unlike cancer, baby loss is a taboo. ♥ Break the silence. ♥ In Memory of all the ~Angel~ babies gone too soon but never forgotten about" all week.

It makes me angry and I want to slap her.

She needs a severe cunting in the fuck

That's pretty shit
All of these status things annoy me though. Someone just told me to put my shoe size down, write inches after it and follow it with a :( to 'get all the guys guessing.' How stupid do you have to be to think that is funny?

I've gotten one that had a list of different types of pants to 'get the guys angry'
commando was 007

I thought wow...these people are dumb.

What is this "facebook" of which you speak?
Does somebody's face look like a book? Is the skin a bit flaky, so much so that it looks like pages that flutter and fall open at that well thumbed page?

Don't let Tourettes near facebook.
She'll go on a hug sending frenzy and break the website.

I could write "I've got motherfucking paranoid schizophrenia and get dangerous irrational violent fantasies almost out of my control so let's bash stigma :):) *love you lots*"
but probably not the best idea

I've taken to carrying over b3ta memes to facebook
"I like breasts" does not go down well when written below a photo of an old platonic female friend who used to go out with one of my best mates and now has a paranoid boyfriend worrying about her playing away while he works in Saudi.

Is baby loss really that much of a taboo?
It's not the thirties you know.

^This
It's not nice to go through but it's not exactly a taboo.

Not in Gerry and Kate McCann's book it isn't.

I expect BABY MURDER is taboo
or maybe losing track of your baby "Where did that blasted baby wander to now?"

I'm happy they at least spelled angel and not angle

I always know where my kids are.
Usually chained to the washing line. So they can at least run up and down the garden. It's called "progressive parenting".

hahaha fair enough
my cousin's kids are content with running from one side of the house to the other and back....who needs toys?
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 14 Jan 2010, 21:25, Reply)

My dog needs toys.
So I let him play with the kids. It's only fair.

Murder, possibly.
I'm guessing the girl in question was referring to either miscarriage or cot death.

Like BGB said, not very nice but not really a taboo in my big book of taboo.

Someone I know has as her FB status a question about whether she should get her young child vacinated.
A terrifyingly large number of people has written things like "NO! NEVER!", which makes me think that all their kids should be in care.

Or hospital, perhaps on an iron lung.

I've seen them too.
I gave them all a link to the Daily Fail about swine flu vaccinations and the CONSPIRACY behind it all.

They're bound to believe it.

What a cock she is.
It's hardly taboo, it's just that I don't feel the need to tell everyone on Facebook that I've had a miscarriage. I wouldn't go round posting "I'm an orphan, pity me" if my parents died either. As for "angel babies", that makes me want to slap people. I won't forget that I lost a baby but I certainly don't consider it an angel - it could well have grown up to be a complete cunt.

(This current foetus of mine is fine, by the way, so far, despite 4 bloody scares. 25 weeks to go and I've never worried about or wanted something so much in my life.)
