We all love the web, gives us a chance to learn more about our chosen trade, argue pointlessly with strangers, read lies about sportsmen and TV stars, buy rubbish at discount prices and watch the sort of porn you could only dream of as a youngster reading well thumbed copies of Penthouse.

But when this sort of stuff appears on my timeline of FB my blood boils.

Totally fake, the guy pretends to be injured, hobbles around all day and night dropping stuff in front of people to find a couple of guys who don't help. What's the betting everyone else all day picked them up without a murmur.

All with a soundtrack of sad music, then, just to teach us a lesson a homeless guy helps him and receives a few bucks in reward, cue uplifting musical ending.https://www.facebook.com/Oli96.8FM/videos/881108125312633/

I don't have or want face book .If I want to talk to some one I phone them , email them , write them a letter or go and see them . Cant see the point of face book . Things I hate ? err ...pop ups and skip ad in so many seconds .

Lots of compassion in here then. Of course it's a setup and the vast majority of peeps would pick em up and they found some who didn't so put them in the film. Are you saying it doesn't prove there are some a-holes around?

I think its the whole self righteousness of these videos he's referring to, and I agree. Similar to the videos people post of themselves giving people money and food on the streets

I can see that side of the coin sure, but if it represented society in general, it's terribly sad. So much for the common good. I know I'm missing the point a bit but can't construct the right words in my head!
