I'm having a difficult time believing any woman would write that statement.
Then a joke about a woman falling to her death with no remorse from the husband. Funny but not funny to women.
Finally, who puts a picture of themself and posts their name on an anonymous forum.
It adds up to not adding up to me.
I try to keep it real which seems to be a character flaw in this day and age.
"Zit farm" was the term we girls called ourselves (myself included) whenever we had or about to have a breakout. That's several years back when I was still a teenaged girl.
I find the joke very funny because it's a joke. It is NOT funny only if it's a news report presented by CNN or the CBC. We adults know the difference between the two and that's why we don't laugh at a funeral.
I treat people the same whether I meet them in real life or on an anonymous Internet forum. Treating people with respect and courtesy does not require a name tag so anonymity is irrelevant. People should be held accountable for their words, which can many times hurt more than the flogging. You can't, in the name of anonymity, cast defamatory remarks, insult people and drive them to the verge of suicide (as seen with cyber bullying) and then start as a blank slate when you log out and create a new alias.
It is only a character flaw if people say and act differently when they post with their real name and a picture and when when they do without.
