Quote:

Amarillo,TX --Gladis Haralski, founder of United Confederacy Against WWW (UCAWWW) announced last week of her ongoing campaign to shut down the internet.

In an interview Gladis proclaims the destructive way in which we use the internet degenerates society's standards. "The internet is nothing but filth to steal our children from God and truth", says Gladis...

Currently the UCAWWW holds 43 members, all of which reside in Texas. When Gladis was asked by reporters how she planned to reach out to others across the country she said, "We have many ongoing projects, and soon we'll be proud to announce the grand opening of our website."

Anyone notice the last sentence about making a website?

Hypocrites are so much fun...

Don't tell me that's serious.

That reminds me of my dad's friend's wife... lol... a long time ago, she said that she'd never use the internet, and she didn't want her kids seeing all the bad stuff on the internet, now she's online all the time. Lips Sealed

Yeah, and the online petition has over 3000 signatures. All of which were done online. I can just be shocked by what people are capable of from time to time.

OMG

This zealot is WAY OUT, way out in West Texas
where there isn't much to do, wind, sand and rattlesnakes! Lips Sealed

I'll know if this comes in my email to send it to the spam folder
and report it as such to the internet provider.

The woman in the article has an email address... Huh

It's listed at the bottom of the "petition." I'm wondering how many signed it as a joke...

SC, if you're gullible about this, you will be and are gullible about other things in life. Start now, smartening yourself up to the ways of the wicked world, NOW!

#1 - Don't believe everything you're told!
#2- Don't dare believe everything boys tell you or you'll be known around school for something other than gullible. The word is EASY.............and you don't want that at all Lips Sealed

Thankfully, I wasn't this gullible with boys! Plus, very protective parents!

It's one thing to be smart, but one also need to have common sense to tell the difference in what you are told!
Now, are we going to have to raise you here also!
Wise up girl!

All of us ladies have learned the hard way, most likely!
It's time you did, and this way is easy!

What is in your head doesn't always have to come out your mouth!
Or in this scenario, typed!

Advise from one who learned and knows! Wink

SC, this is only meant to help you. Wink
