The Joiner

This Facebook User is often seen joining groups. They are just suckers for cool groups. I think they actually mean well. But I still have to chuckle at most of them. And most all (if not all) of the groups that promise you something are just scams started by somebody to see how many gullible people they can get to join. It’s like a contest to see who can get the most people to join their group by promising crazy things. One of the most popular groups was the one that promises to tell you what other people are looking at your profile page. Then there are the petition type groups that say if we get 1.5 gazillion people to join, Facebook promises to go back to the old Facebook, because we all hate this new one. People start those groups all the time, but unfortunately Facebook has never once changed anything because a lot of people joined a group, and I don’t expect them to anytime soon. The most recent popular group people are joining has to do with adding a “Dislike button”. Like all the other goofy groups, I’m pretty sure this one is a scam also.  I’m thinking about starting a group called, “Help Us Reach 1,000,000 Members and Get a $1,000,000 Check from Microsoft”, or “Just Need 5,000,000 Members to Achieve Peace in the Holy Land.”  I wonder how many I could get to join.

I’m not a member of many Facebook groups, except a few of the ones local to Waxahachie that don’t promise anything. But I did create a group called “The Rusty Davis Global Control Society”, with the purpose of it being that all the people named Rusty Davis in the world can get together and plan how we will take over the world. So if your name is not Rusty Davis, don’t even think about trying to join. So far, I am in the only member, but I’m expecting it to explode any time now.
