Facebook Blocks Users From Mentioning BugMeNot.com
ThinkingInBinary writes "The other day, I was trying to mention bugmenot.com in my Facebook status, and I discovered to my horror that Facebook blocks the phrase 'bugmenot.com' as "abusive" in status updates, messages, and presumably any other communications on the site. Facebook isn't even listed on BugMeNot, as they requested that logins for Facebook be blocked. This is pretty ridiculous, as I can't even send my friends a message mentioning bugmenot.com!"
On Slashdot, I can mention [abusive language filtered] or even [abusive language filtered], why can't I do it on [abusive language filtered]?
Total [abusive language filtered], I say.

You can't block someone from saying something like
They don't anyone to know this, but the way around it is to
What a fool believes, he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away.
Thanks for the update. I was really concerned there for a moment.

Why does a dog always have to be kicked? Why can't it be a cat or a rabbit?
Now, I understand why it wouldn't be a snake or a lizard. One a snake would a)slither away or b)bite the bejesus out of you and a lizard would probably just flick its tongue and scamper off.
But can we just leave the dogs out of it? This message is not brought by PETA.

Thank you Homestar!
I, personally, agree 100% with circletimessquare when he says:
But some would beg to differ. For a counterpoint from a simpler era, let's turn to a user named "circletimessquare", back in early September, 2008, who wrote:
Clearly, the debate over corporate dominance has bitterly divided friends, families, and even individuals.
Instead of writing bugmenot.com, just say, "d00dz, ignore the word 'fuck' in the following and go to www dot bug fuck me fuck not fuck dot com d00dz!!"
McCain/Palin '08. Now THAT's hope and change!
I'd say that analogy is absurd.
Of course it is. Not a single vehicle was mentioned, nor is there any similarity between the subject argument and roads, vehicle taxes or anything else related to transport. It is obvious that /. is going to the dogs....

Dear [friend],
I'm writing to inform you that you should visit this very useful website called bugmenot.com. You can visit it by going over to your computer, opening a browser window, typing in "http://www.bugmenot.com/" (without the quotes!) in the address bar and hitting enter.
I hope you enjoy it!
Sincerely,

Well at least it is getting better, it used to be puppies getting kicked...
Because a cat will turn around and kick your butt or die trying and a rabbit... well... Look at the BONES!
You have the right to remain sentient. If you give up the right to remain sentient, you will be elected to public office
Because your daughter come over to my house, and she kicked my dog. And now dog needs operation.
The meek may inherit the earth, but the strong shall take the stars.
Oh sure you joke about it, but if you read anything written in Germany while the Nazis were in charge you'll find that bugmenot.com is missing from all those writings as well.
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you / Now we are one in everlasting peace

Wait....
Most people don't get why the integral of "e to the x" is so funny. Most math majors don't have a sense of humor.
The investors lose big and have to sell their 2nd and 3rd homes, yacht, and their "investment grade" artwork at a loss. They retire early, move to farm country and spend their days trying to convert their old Saab from college to run on vegetable oil, while being supportive as their kids are in substance abuse rehab/divorce proceedings.
Advertisers nihilistically resign to their 9-5 fate. They start cheating on their wives after football season is over for excitement and then develop Erectile Disfunction when they find out their wives are cheating on them (wives knew all along). Their daughters get tattoos on their wrists and experiment with rebellious lifestyles. Later will contemplate suicide when son becomes gay or daughter is seen by golf buddy in amature pr0n video. AFter retirement they live in Florida or Arizona and stress out about who has the best backyard landscaping (maybe a waterfall?).
Thank you Dave Raggett
