If anyone has already posted this just delete. I don't understand what would make people post these pics on FB and keep circulating them.

In another article it's stated that other teens and partygoers, however, are somehow less willing ...he crime. One teen said, "We are thinking it's being over-exaggerated. I don't think she was as messed up as she's making it out to be. I don't think she was raped." The comments on Facebook were similarly disgusting and victim-blaming; they included sentiments like "straight up WHORE," a "complete slut," and "Cmon who's not down for a gang bang."

========================================

16-year-old girl drugged and attacked, police say

wow

I don't know what is wrong with teens today. Reminds me of when Rihanna got beat down and young girls were on FB saying she deserved it...she's a whore...it was 'funny', etc. and making all kinds of excuses for Chris Brown. I had to have a good talk with my 11 yo granddaughter about it.

I hate them all equally. It lessens the confusion.

I've been saying that for about a decade, btw.

Yeah ...humans are some of THE nastiness creatures on this planet

I too have been feelin / saying that for decades

Absolutely disgusting what happened.

Here's an update http://www.cbc.ca/canada/...ather.html

Parties, drinking... Is this really fun for people? It just seems to lead to a whole lot of trouble.

As hard as it's getting to be, I still like to think that people like these are a very, very small percentage of the human race.

The problem is that our science has improved technology... but we still have the same basic brain we had tens of thousands of years ago.

Exactly.

You know what the problem is is that people are growing up like these things are nothing. Or live through these things like its nothing. Ive heard some real messed up stuff about young people now a days, seems its getting worse.

On top of that sites like 4chan, which futher desensitize you more and throw you into that state of thinking also add on. 4chan is the most popular image board ever, and the content thats there shows the collective conciousness of how people are living now a days.

Nothing but gore, child porn, and that sort of stuff on there. And of course they all post there because its funny.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...unless I can find a way for Facebook to be a marketing tool that makes money for me, I will simply just sit out. Without the marketing angle, I see less and less redeeming value in it with each passing day

Ridiculous. My sister was giving that drug as well, slipped in her drink I'm glad nothing had happened...

How did she realize she had been drugged? That's so scary!

Well it can certainly be used as a marketing tool, but whether it would lead to making money for you is another thing. It does however seem to be more and more the case that companies are expected to have a facebook page.

I can see how it might be a useful marketing tool - for example, a friend of mine went to a particular restaurant and enjoyed it, then looked up that restaurant's facebook page and 'liked' it. Now all of his friends can see that he likes this restaurant. A link is provided to the restaurant's facebook page (which I then visited). The facebook page included a link to their web site (which I then visited). I haven't visisted the restaurant yet, but, you know, I might do, and at least now I know it exists.

Of course, the other way it could be useful as a marketing tool is if you could make use of the facebook data that was recently compiled and released to the world at large.

Aside from that, I agree with you, there is very little of real value to facebook.

I was going to say that it is useful for keeping in touch with people, but in reality it doesn't provide much advantage over email and instant messaging.

Most of the time, all I see is people sharing information that (as has been amply demonstrated by the subject of this thread) simply should not be shared.

incredibly bad. humans are ugly little mammals sometimes. not all, but enough. it bugs me that no one stepped up to help her

i hope that girl can heal eventually

I blame easy access to porn for a lot of the sexual escapades young folks are in engaging in now. Shit, we didn't even know existed when we were their age.

I agree with you 100%. I absolutely hate Facebook. I don't use it at all. I think it's a complete waste of my time and I firmly believe that a large majority of the people using this tool every single day use it to show off and say to the world "look at me and look at my life". WTF? I just don't get it.

Sure, it would be great for many people who don't see their families or close friends very often, but unfortunately IMHO - it's really just to say look at me.

I used FB to find some old friends who I couldn't find through google. Through those friends I found other friends from HS and my old job that I'd lost touch with. So I'm glad I was able to do that. And once you find them it's better to stay in touch by email, etc. But it is a huge waste of time. On myspace I would check in once or twice a week and be done with it. On FB I got sucked into Vamp Wars.

I limit myself now but some of the things I see there are just insane and contain way TMI. This is a new lowlow. Posting pics of a rape???? Who actually wakes up and THINKS that is a good idea??? WTF is wrong with people?

And NMuzak...I'm sorry.

Animals!!!! Either she consented to taking the drug, having rough sex with several people, having it photographed and plastered all over the Internet to humiliate herself and then later changed her mind...... Or she was gang raped. - there's no in-between [Edited 9/20/10 4:24am]

I´ve always felt that using this word this way is so insulting to animals cause they don´t do idiotic stuff like that. Only humans. We are the worst "animals".

If she's 16, then that makes it child porn and Facebook should have never allowed the pictures to be posted in the first place.

Jesus Christ.

They say FB is working with authorities to stop it but as soon as they take pics down they pop up somewhere else. Even if FB deletes the accounts of everyone doing it the idiots will just make another profile. Really how can they stop it?

grrr links
