Do you ever recieve Chain Mail Messages of your freinds?
How many chain messages do you forward or reply to in a week?
I really cant stand chain messages with no point to them, how often do you belive if you dont send a message to 10 of your contacts you will have a terrible day tommorow? Or do you really belive in superstition in chain messages?
I Personally Dont, you may change my opinion.

I used to get these ALL the time! I absolutely hated them!
At first, I did somewhat believe in the superstition. I think it was more of a hope that it really would happen - that a message would pop up telling me who had a crush on me, or that I will be blessed with amazing luck the next day. And it used to kind of freak me out, that if I didn't do what the e-mail asked, Bloody Mary would show up in my bathroom. So I did it... just to be safe.
but what made me honestly believe that the e-mails were fake was when it starts out with "I got this e-mail and I followed the instructions, so this is what happened to me!" It's like wait... if you're just now receiving the e-mail and haven't forwarded yet, how do you *KNOW* what will happen? and then it would list stories of people that *didn't* follow the instructions... and what happened to them. So these people received e-mails with stories about what is going to happen to them already? wtf.
but there are a few random ones I send. I rarely get them anymore, but the ones I do get - such as, "Passing on a little love: send this to anyone who deserves a smile today!" Sometimes, those are nice to look at. A bunch of smiles and reminders that you're loved never hurt anyone :)
yeah. that's my spiel. :)

I'm sorry! I think I missed the context.
I *don't* get them on my cell phone, but if I did, I would NOT send them. I pay per text sent, and that's just too insane. I think somebody just wants to see us waste our time, money, and sanity.

I receive does all the time, although I never send them to anyone else... I'm really into the whole if you don't send this to 10 people a lady is gonna kill you at night stuff or the your gonna have bad luck for seven years stuff... how could a textmessage possibly do that...

I dont honestly even believe in that superstition stuff but some times i just do it anyway. But normally i just ignore them and dont bother to forward them.
