Against Xenophobia
(Via my Mother via Julie Jones Guy: Your car is Japanese. Your pizza is Italian. Your beer is German. Your wine is Spanish. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your tea is Chinese. Your watch is Swiss. Your fashion is French. Your shirt is Indian. Your shoes are Thai. Your radio is Korean. Your vodka is Russian. And then complain: Your neighbour is an immigrant? Pull yourself together! Copy if you are against Racism)

Gibberish
Οι επιστολές αλυσίδων είναι γελοίες. Έτσι αυτό επειδή του ένα meme, αλλά κάνω τόσο με τέτοιο τρόπο ώστε ότι θα φανεί όπως τις ασυναρτησίες και μπορώ να το χρησιμοποιήσω για την αναφορά μου αργότερα. Εδώ αρχίζει την ηλιθιότητα: «το cYou τον άνοιξε. Καλή τύχη. Απόψε στα μεσάνυχτα η αληθινή αγάπη σας θα συνειδητοποιήσει ότι σας αγαπούν. Κάτι καλή θέληση συμβαίνει σε σας στις 1:00 μ.μ. στις 4:40 μ.μ. αύριο, θα μπορούσε να είναι οπουδήποτε. Απόψε στα μεσάνυχτα θα θυμηθούν πόσο σας αγάπησαν. Θα πάρετε τον κλονισμό της ζωής σας αύριο, καλή. Εάν σπάσετε την αλυσίδα, θα είστε αναθεματισμένος με τα προβλήματα σχέσης για τα επόμενα 2 έτη. Karma. Εάν υπάρχει κάποιος αγαπήσατε μιά φορά, ή ακόμα, και να λοξοτομήσετε τους παίρνετε από το μυαλό σας, repost αυτό σε μια άλλη πόλη μέσα στα επόμενα 5 λεπτά. Η κατάπληξή του πώς λειτουργεί. Εάν χάνετε αληθινά κάποιο, μια προηγούμενη αγάπη, και λοξοτομείτε φανείτε να τους παίρνετε από το μυαλό σας….κατόπιν repost αυτό με τον τίτλο δεδομένου ότι «κάνω αληθινά τη Δεσποινίς You». Που χάνετε θα σας εκπλήξετε. Μην σπάστε αυτό, για απόψε στα μεσάνυχτα, η αληθινή αγάπη σας θα συνειδητοποιήσει ότι σας αγαπούν και κάτι μεγάλο θα συμβεί σε σας αύριο.»

Special Education Week
(Via Claire via Facebook)
Children with special needs only want what we all want - to be accepted. Can I make
a request of anyone willing to post this and leave it on your status
for at least an hour? It is Special Education week, and this is in honor
of all children who learn a little differently than others.

Friendship Meme
(Via Dee Via Facebook)
They
say everlasting friends can go long periods of time w/out speaking & never question the friendship. These types of friends pick up like they just spoke yesterday, regardless of how long it has been or how far away they live, & they don't hold grudges. They understand that ...life is busy...but you will ALWAYS love them... Re-post if you have
@least 1 of these friends.

A plea for help
(via Bill Maxwell the Brilliant)
Please put this on your status if you know of or are related to someone killed on Alderaan when it was rightfully targeted by the Death Star. My wish is that people understand the Rebel Alliance is a band of murdering scum. The Empire wants only to bring peace to the galaxy but the Rebels continues to put themselves in places that endanger innocent civilians. 93% won't copy/paste this. Will YOU make this your status?
