so I sent it out to friends and family figuring it was good info to know. It even says snopes.com is cool with it. My brother in law emails back saying snopes declares it false and includes the link. He was right. And while I appreciate the clarity of the content, I'm still preturbed at his high and mighty attitude. This is just one of many episodes. He thinks he's the best person ever to live.
Is this petty? What would you do? Be honest. I need to know if I'm giving him a hard time and need to back off a little.
Thanks!!!

Yes, it is petty. How he chooses to view himself, or whatever attitude he chooses, it's not any of your business. Who cares if he thinks he is the best person on earth? I care more about how you feel about yourself.
If you're giving him a bad time about it, you need to definitely back off. How would you like someone in your face, bugging you about how you choose to behave? It would be none of their business, right?
What I would do is find something better to do with my thoughts and energy than worrying about something that I had no control over.
Pray for him. He may need it. (praying for him will also help you to release it into God's hands. You can't change anyone but yourself. But God can change anyone, at anytime.)
For your own sake. . . . let it go.
You're welcome! Good luck! I know you're smart and everything is going to work out for the best.
Don't you worry your cute little head about it. K?
. . . . love ya!

I agree with him, and if he is like me I am tired of getting every email that has ever been typed dealing with gang initiation rites, nigerian scams, and my hard drive exploding on impact, beyond that, I have to forward it to 100 of my friends in the next 3 minutes or flaming pygmies will run through the house setting it on fire while my underwear turns carniverous and eats my crotch.
next time you get one, go check snopes yourself.
Don't be afraid to open the door to the FedEx guy, it probably really is the FedEx guy and not a terrorist in a stolen uniform.

The worst thing you can do is forward emails like that. All it does is cause more problems and stupid people believe that crap. Its best just to delete them without forwarding them at all.
Maybe your brother has a high and mighty attutude about this because he knows only a retard would bother with those emails.

Without seeing the exact tone of his email it is hard to judge. Do you regularly forward those types of emails along? My wife's grandmother forwards a lot of that stuff to me and although I don't hold it against her, I want to smack the people who sent it to her and ask them how they could be so gullible.

Don't forward crap that you can't prove. You are proving yourself a bother and an idiot.
Just like those losers who forward the DONT BUY GAS AT EXXON emails.
If you study economics you know it can't work.
Don't believe everything you read.

it would do you well to simply delete this type of email...
i'd venture to guess that 99.9% of emails of this type (warnings), are a bunch of baloney.
if people are too dumb to be aware of their surroundings, an email won't help them anyway.
take care!!
