Do you forward such messages if you receive one? Do you believe in such threats that if you don't forward the message, you'll experience a lifetime of badluck? I really hate chain messages. I just received one from a friend thru text. I deleted it right away. To my dismay, a lot of my friends were all sending me the same messages last night. I deleted all those messages. I really think they're just a waste of time. =)

I don't send chain text messages especially if they have threats. The whole thing is stupid. And I think people saying "I just want to be safe" lack in character - they don't have their own convictions because they do not want to either tell the others that they believe what the chain messages say, or that they don't believe any of that crap. Glad to know that there are more people deleting chain messages. Makes the world a little more sane. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

thanks for responding too! the main fact that there is no such basis to those messages,especially those that include threats if you don't forward the message,is completely nonsense.i hope people will get to think twice before they forward such messages. happy mylotting!

I hate them too... I have managed to teach my friends not to send them to me, by simply asking them not to waste my time and theirs.

I don't really forward it, when it's about Good luck or bad luck thing. I don't believe it, I only forward some inspirational quotes/ notes , I edit it and removing send it to *X person and Good luck bad luck etc.... Thanks and good day!

It's better to forward those inspirational quotes rather than those messages that carry threats of badluck. Keep spreading inspiration anndocs! Happy mylotting!

Yup, I hate them too. When I have time, sometimes I forward it but most of the time, I just delete it. In the first place, I don't see where it originated that if it will not be forwarded, it will bring bad luck.

I NEVER forward such messages! It irks me a lot! I mean, c'mon we're all matured and have to deal with life relatively - including not believing in such messages. Our lives does not depend on forwarding such messages. Godbless!
