It's no secret. I hate Facebook causes. I hate Facebook causes with a passion.
I received an invitation today to join the cause "Stop child rape".
Seriously? Stop child rape?........Seriously? Why does this have to be a cause on Facebook? Is there a "Legalize child rape" cause on Facebook winning over supporters by the numbers?
I know! Lets make a Facebook cause to stop child rape, get like...28, 437 people to join our cause, and our anonymous online rebuke of child rapists will resound like a judges gavel in their ears! Who's with me?!?"
When someone bravely comes forward and reports these types of crimes, it first falls into the hands of our law enforcement officers. They investigate, identify suspects, and build a solid case against the bastard, then arrest him. Then the case goes to the hands of the prosecuting attorney who carries it into court in between the incredible case load he or she already carries from all the submitted cases they receive every day from the county they serve, often for a harsh county salary which doesn't seem befitting a law school graduate.
Then there are those who speak as advocates for the victims, counselling and guiding them through the retelling of facts, the confusing and frustrating rules of the criminal court, and the agony of testifying in front of the monster who stole their life. Its an ugly, gory, sadistic, evil monstrous telling of facts, photos, and recorded forensic interviews that will keep you awake at night.
If you really want to stop child rape, be one of those people I just spoke about and keep your gay Facebook cause to yourself.
Facebook is for letting me know which Twilight character you're most like, which of your friends is "hot or not", and seeing how fat your girlfriends got since high school. It doesn't stop child rape, or anything else that needs to be stopped.
Put down the keyboard, get off your ass, and DO something that will REALLY stop child rape, because I'm pretty sure most everyone except the rapists are against it and that hasn't stopped it at all.

ReplyDeleteHow stupid are people really? People have gotten even lazier than I thought they would.
ReplyDeleteDon't like something? Join a Facebook cause. (Really? That's it? You sure? Get up off your lazy bed-sore ridden butt!)
I found your blog via Lisa's. Can I tell you how much I enjoy your stories? I have a ton of Law Enforcement in my husband's family and I laugh because yours are the same as theirs. I guess stupidity really is universal!
