Asking for Freeper Help with Offensive Facebook Page
Facebook ^ | 3-21-13 | Dan O'Shannon

Posted on 03/21/2013 8:02:50 PM PDT by Paved Paradise

I have not posted on FR in a few years, but am hoping to rally some of the troops. Someone "liked" a page on Facebook, which is entitled "The Adventures of Mrs. Jesus," so it showed up on my newsfeed. The author of this page is the producer/writer of the top television show, "Modern Family," and has written for several very popular shows (e.g., Frasier). Apparently, that is not satisfying enough to this person.

The content speaks for itself. It is utterly degrading and hateful to anyone who professes Christ regardless of your denomination.

I complained to Facebook and cited their policy about hate speech. They regularly take down pages, especially if they mock or disparage groups that are glorified by the Left, Liberals and the Secular crowd. However, they have done NOTHING. I also wrote the author and asked him to take it down.

Any sincere comments and thoughts would be appreciated.

I’m with you Al. I have never had a Facebook page, nor a Twitter account. My circle of friends is very small. I choose it to be that way. If I want to communicate with them, I either send an email, call them, or visit them. I don’t need a social site to do those things.

I was looking for sincere responses. I think I liked yours best of all. Something to consider for sure. You made very good points.

Dearest Paved,

Please consider the “old-fashioned” virtues of email to keep in touch with your nearest and dearest. (Wondering if that is even safe with the latest coming out of Congress!)

Facebook is just a flash-in-the-pan mining expedition to track us all, our buying habits, and is easily turned over to .gov - we should know better than to post any information pertinent to our daily lives there. Not to mention the criminals who lurk/hack to find out when we are away from home, on “vacay”, etc.

Further more, sensible parents do not let their children post anything on FaceBook. It is all recorded for future employers, colleges, etc. for review.

Nothing on the net is private. You should have figured that out by now.

At the risk of sounding harsh, and this isn’t directed at you personally - don’t post anything on the internet, or even in email, that you wouldn’t want posted in your local newspaper gossip column, or to the .gov (IRS, etc.)

Even be careful in posting on this forum. You know it is being watched.

Use some common sense, friends.

“none of it’s facebook”

Oh really? I found the 3 year AGR score to be quite informative.

I thought of that, Stu. The last thing I want to do is give someone like that publicity. Thanks.

Stu, I am not easily offended. However, it is pretty vicious. It’s just evil. Mocks Jesus in the worst way. Probably one of the worst I have ever seen.

I agree with you, Mama! Friends of ours just took the trip of a lifetime and put it all on Facebook. I enjoyed every moment, vicariously of course. However, I do think some of the concerns people have posted on here are legitimate and worth considering.

Just ignore it. People can post whatever they want to. Don’t fall into the liberal game of looking to a higher power (courts, government, etc) to force your views. For better or worse, people can say what they want to in this country.

Even if there was a way; All forcing your views upon them is going to do is reinforce their views, it’ll martyr them, and they’ll find a new outlet.

I deleted my FB account the minute Obama won Ohio. Apparently I am not missing anything.

If I want to catch up with any friends on FB, I call them.

For example a common security question is “what is your mother’s maden name?” - A good ID thief can mine that from reading all of the messageas exchanged on your wall.

I don't Facebook, but most of the so-called security questions are things which can be dug out of a record somewhere. Same with credit cards.

So I never give them the correct answer in the first place. Just use something you can remember as the "correct" answer.

It doesn't matter to the software if your answer is factual, only if you give the right one.

You’re on your own with this one. First Amendment rights, don’t you know. Personally, I have avoided Facebook for years. It’s boring, rampantly stupid, and offensive to just about everybody sooner or later. That’s where all the dumb people go who are not articulate enough to post comments at sites like this one.

I know what you’re going through. I, too, have had real bad trouble with bullies and creeps on Facebook. Keep complaining to FB, get your friends and family to report the abuse and keep your fingers crossed. Also, post things to his page that contradict his hate. He’ll probably “unfriend” you, but what the heck.

Exactly. I cannot imagine why anyone would open themselves up to thousands of strangers, who may not have your best interests at heart. Facebook has seemed extremely creepy to me from the get-go. Email works just fine for keeping in touch.

And then, of course, the surveillance thing. Plus, data mining by companies who want to sell you things you don't want or don't want your children to have. I.E. The head of marketing at Diageo, largest manufacturer of alcohol in the world, smugly stated recently that they hardly have to do market research, as people on Facebook tell them how to advertise to them. Many of those "people" are underage.

My mother has been trying very hard for a long time to get me to sign up on Facebook. I know it frustrates her to no end that I won't.

The gov't already knows whatever the heck it might want to know about us, but I don't have to make it super-duper-easy for the gov't and any Tom, Dick or Harry to have free, drive-through info.

That, and the fact that I hate the format, are why I don’t use Facebook. But the thing that cinched it for me was finding out Mark Zuckerberg said people are “dumb f-—s” to trust him with their data.

Just because you and I are cautious, doesn’t mean that facebook fails in its design purpose.
