My dad actually sent me this, and some of you have probably seen it, but check it out just in case you haven't. It's hilarious. Have you ever been told to send something on to ten people or you'll have bad luck or God won't love you? Have you been told you'll earn gift certificates passing things on? You will LOVE this. http://info.org.il/irrelevant/may02-smilepop-soapbox4.swf Hope you enjoy it!

yes, haha. i receive those a lot, but i no longer forward them. you get a lot of those posted as bulletins on myspace, only they're more along the lines of "send this to ten people or you'll be killed tonight at midnight" and all. it's just dumb.

Wow! Saying something like "send this to ten people or you'll be killed tonight at midnight" is taking it a little far!

yes, people do fall for it. they repost the stuff saying that they're afraid it just might happen if they don't forward.

HAHA! Oh Ambie, I did enjoy that! So true!! I really loved the part about God and his bushes burning in his front yard. LOL Good one!! I don't feel guilty actually. I mean if my friend sent it to me and it says to send it back to them, then I will. But I don't believe what ever else it says about bad luck, good luck, getting kissed or any of that mess. LOL Thanks for sharing!! Bay Lay Gray xx

I usually don't send them on to people, but like you said, if it says send it back to a friend, I will do that. I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings, but nor am I going to bother other people with it.

Oh I just love this...I was bursting out with hysterics that if I didn't send it before the full moon I'd be constipated... I get those emails all the time that I have to send/forward to at least 8 friends and good luck will come by 12 noon the next day or something like that--heck I might forward this to some of my friends..LOL

I forwarded this to a lot of my friends, and I think I'll be having a fall out from it. About five of those friends constantly send me those type of e-mails!

Hello AmbiePam. Yeah, I have had this kind of chain emails from my friends and also some from people I don't know. I think that it is interesting if it is a very nice one, but it could also be very annoying with some cursing words that if we don't pass it on. Thanks for your discussion, dear friend.

Oh yes, there are some very nice friendship type e-mails that get passed around, and they are very nice and uplifting.

Hi ambiepam!:) The only time i did pass one on was when i was in school and gave 10 of my friends a paper that i had to write over 10 times and give.After that i never passed any on.I just do not believe in those things,its like wasting my time and writing those and having people throw them out or just ignore them/delete them.Maybe its just me,but thats how i feel:( Peanut:)

Oh, I just loved it. He covered everything. A lot of it, I have never heard of, but I have heard a few of them. I will definitely pass it on. Not because of his threat, but because it is accurate and funny.

I love this link. I've stopped passing on these sorts of emails, but I think I'll save this link and send it to anyone who sends me these sorts of emails. Thanks, this is great.

yup i heard that.... it's just so annoying when you get one of those emails about forwarding this or that and if you don't, you'll get bad luck in this and that for 7 years or so.... nope, i don't believe in that. My God is far more powerful than these emails :-)

Amen! I wonder who in the world thought to put that if we didn't pass the e-mail on, God wouldn't love us. It's got to be an atheist. LOL

I have never received on any of those kind of messages. I must admit that I have receive them as a text messages on my celphone. and rarely i send it to 5 or more people just for fun. But I just hate those kind of messages. For me, it is not true. No offense, but I think they are just wasting other peoples time.

very good! I hate those chain e-mails, most of my friends would not be so silly as to send me one and actaully think I would forward it. I usually delete an email once I realize it is one of these types of messages.

I have received this before. Personally the person who wrote this should receive a medal or an award. It is good, right to the point and totally accurate. What more can you ask?
