Sat, 11 Jun 2016 04:20:00 +0000http://jolanamalkston.com/?p=1138#comment-974I hear you, Paul. There is no shame–and no gratitude. There was this one particular time that I sent a Snopes.com link to a Facebook friend to expose a phony Facebook post she shared. Another of her friends who forwarded that phony post to all her Facebook friends replied that the know-it-alls who check Snopes.com are a bunch of wet blankets who spoil the fun for everyone else. So, what she was saying is that she thought it was fun to be suckered by a hoaxer who was no doubt sitting in front of his computer laughing at her and everyone else who shared his big joke on them. Seriously?

I often wonder what possesses these tricksters to come up with all that trash, They must get a sick satisfaction out of suckering others into believing them.

Wed, 08 Jun 2016 15:18:00 +0000http://jolanamalkston.com/?p=1138#comment-969I have learned that probably 98% of what we read on the internet is not true or only contains a kernel of truth. I usually don’t forward anything anymore and am choosy about what I share on FB. But the hoaxers live on!
