We all get these emails, one telling us of that famous Recipe about some cookies, Bill Gates is going to send us money because we foward an email, or applebee's is going to give us a certficate for doing the same....But we all know these are false things....so when you get an email about something like this, do you check the "facts" before you forward it on?

I rarely forward any of them, including the legit ones like the one where I would get $5,000,000 if I wire transferred $15,000 to a good friend of the former wife of the second-cousin of Uganda's former military secretary who died last night.

    I know some morons that must believe a lot of stupid shit stuff. They blindly forward anything that comes into their in box. I especially hate the glurgy crap that promises all those "Good Things" that will happen in my life for forwarding to 20 people.

    I don't send forward messages, becase if anyone else is like me, they don't like getting them.

    I used to do it though, until realized I was being an idiot.

    half of my conversations about emails:
    "No Dad, they are not giving away all our cellphone numbers to telemarketers"

    "Mom, dont worry, you are not going to get stuck by an HIV infected hypodermic needle when reaching for the gas pump"

    There was a time I didn't check the facts, but now I do. Especially if it is a real inflammatory email.
