One of my biggest annoyances is the "this is a true story" forwards. You know the ones. The ones that say that there are drug needles or snakes in the ballpits at McDonalds or horrific stories of children being used as drug mules. Most of the forwards you read everyday AREN'T TRUE.
Go to snopes.com and look up any forward you get that could cause fear/horror before you pass it on. I've found that 99% of the time these stories aren't true.
Anyway what I'm trying to get at is. Do you believe every forward you get and do you pass them on with out checking the sources?

I agree that 99% are bogus.
I pass on about 1% of the ones that I've checked out.

That is a good point. Education is key to finding the truth. There are horrible things that happen and make it hard not to believe some of the stories.

Recently, I haven't been getting alot of forwards. I really try not to send them. I usually delete them, but since I haven't been getting any I haven't had to send them. Thanks for the heads up. I think they are a waste of time. I will check out snopes.com. Thanks a milliion. :D

I usually just ignore them. I do send them to my mom and we laugh at them!
I also hate those stupid 'pass these on or have X# of years bad luck, or you will meet your true love' BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! Those are soooo annoying!
