Girl Dumps Boyfriend Via Facebook Status Message
The real mistake was posting an image of the status update on Digg, where scorned, geeky, men decided that Sandra had gone too far. Her Flickr account was hacked, all her photos deleted and replaced with a 'lol cat.' Horrifying.
We would just like to thank Sandra for putting her neck out there and confirming what any person with a sense of decency probably suspected -- breaking up via Facebook status update is a bad idea.

It is really sad when you think about this....yesterday someone who was really disturbed with life's turn of events in his life walked into a mall and killed 8 innocent people. Ironic people can actually ask why after reading about something like this. This chick and all her stupidity is the reason why we live in such an unsafe world! It is because people like her would rather get a good laugh then stop and think about the feelings of others!

shocking, really, and according to her birthday, she is an adult nearing 30. completely classless. will should be relieved not to be associated with her any longer.

Diana, are you kidding me? If someone lost it and started shooting people over getting dumped via facebook, they were already too unstable to begin with.
Enough already with the "respect everybody's feelings" crapola. I'm from the last couple of years of the generation that was actually raised by their parents and not TV or day care.
I was spanked as a child. I was told what was and what was not acceptable in public. I was taught that life is not always fair. I was taught that "good enough" is not a goal. I was taught that beign the best at what I do is the goal. I was taught that disappointing those who love and support me is a terrible thing to do.
And I am a successful ThirtySomething that has had more than my share of setbacks and disappointments.
I do not blame society when I have a bad day. I do not blame my parents when I don't have everything I want. I dig down, pull up my socks, and work harder to get what I want.
Stop blaming the psychotic behavior of a malcontent on the actions of others when you should look back at his life and find out where he was allowed to believe that "fairy tales do come true".

It's all a hoax. That's what a WIRED article infers.

Well, I certainly think you should still respect everyone's feelings as best you can, regardless of when you were raised. But, yes, people today are punks. They take everything too hard and use it as an excuse to do something crazy or a sob story. Don't pick on people at school and don't dump someone publically using facebook, but if that does happen to you (probably by someone who hasn't been raised by their parents rather than TV...since one of the things real parents teach IS to respect others and not to call "respect" "crapola" or rant and rave about how you're better than everyone else because you were spanked and had good parents), you don't have to shoot up a school or mall--get a spine and stop being a wimp.
To get back on topic, this is a case in which the punishment fits the crime. This chick's facebook was hacked, and now eye for an eye--she tried to embarrass her (ex)boyfriend publically and now she's getting embarrassed publically for being a cold-hearted b!tch like so many young and/or immature women are.

I don't know why anyone would post ANY personal information on Facebook or any other site. You are making yourself a target of Spear Phishing Identity Theft.

Conn, you're a queer
Jason @ Dec 8th 2007 3:12PM
Way to go Conn, tell them how the cow ate the
cabbage. I feel the same way ,nobody gave me
anything in life,I worked for what I got and
if I didn't have it, it was my fault, nobody
elses. I just rolled up my sleeves and worked
harder.

WHERES THE STORY?
David @ Dec 8th 2007 3:37PM
That's just fine. Burn in Hell.
Guy @ Dec 8th 2007 3:40PM
That's ok. Soon-to-be-old-maid.
ashers @ Dec 8th 2007 4:10PM
I think Thats Rude and Disrespectful and shows how low this new generation is!!!
JLCis @ Dec 8th 2007 4:12PM
I agree w/Conn...write the person off as a waste and move on with your life. What that guy did was of his own (whacked out) making.
Nobody but the person commiting an act is responsible. Geez people, change your diapers already!
just wonderin @ Dec 8th 2007 4:21PM
I think it is unfair to lump the girl in Omaha with this chick. I don't know how the other girl broke up...but the guy in Omaha had a lot going on, the majority of it was with his family...the breakup and loss of job was the final straws it seems. This is not how anyone should break up with someone. This is about as inpersonal as you can get...no worse than a dear john...at least with that ...no one knew what had come in the mail. It is immature and cowardly. This is not about rolling up sleeves...and working...this is about having a modicum of respect for another person.
Dean Friend @ Dec 8th 2007 4:25PM
Conn,
Thank you!!!
For bringing a moment of sanity to these boards.
Well said. What's so uncool about taking responsibility for your own behavior, having acceptable limits placed on your actions, and not disappointing the people who love you?
Sounds like a plan for success to me!
Tony @ Dec 8th 2007 4:31PM
this got way out of hand I see I wont post my first comment hopefully. But look at this girl emotionally who would ever get involved with her again she's a dirt bag she might as well become a hooker because no one is ever going to invest any emotion or time in somone who disrespect you like that. maybe the guy deserved it. But 2 wrongs DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT it makes you look bad! that guy killing 8 people well conn its nice to live in a fantasy world where what we say or do don't effect other people but not everyone grew up in that kinda environment. if you insult somone in darfur you're gonna die. insults are just useless unless you want to make somone hate you.
eva @ Dec 8th 2007 4:41PM
ok first off boss,thats was rude.
and also i agree w/con , if you mess up its your fault,deal with it, work hared, and move on.
ida @ Dec 8th 2007 4:42PM
To : Conn , i agree 100% with you and also the person could be DANGEROUS AND A KILLER...digused as a human.
Samantha @ Dec 8th 2007 4:48PM
"It's Officially Over" sounds to me like they've ALREADY discussed breaking up. Yet, you pounce on the girl and assume she's a bitch and call her a dirtbag. The dirtbags are the ones who hacked her site. They're the ones who think hurting someone is fun. As far as Sandra and Will go, they broke up and that's between them. If Sandra broke up in this fashion then it shows you the minimal level of intimacy they had in this relationship anyway. Guys think of girls as "fuck buddies" and you're calling HER insensitive? Give me a break.
ROB @ Dec 8th 2007 4:50PM
DIANA YOU'RE AN IDIOT. YEAH SHE WAS DUMB FOR DUMPING THAT GUY OVER THE NET BUT IF HE WENT OUT AND KILLED SOMEONE 'CAUSE HIS FEELINGS GOT HURT THAT WOULD BE HIS DECISION. THE PROBLEM WITH YOU IS THAT YOU DON'T THINK PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIER OWN ACTIONS.
