So many people hate telemarketers and spam mail, yet those same people are spamming their friends with useless chain mail. Useless chain letters do not fill my inbox as much anymore because those who formerly e-mailed the spam to their friends think that it is a better idea to post the chain mail as bulletins on myspace. What a way to abuse a bulletin. Some of my friends invite everyone to their parties via myspace, but some of my friends and I fail to see the invitation because many of my friends think that it's more important to post those imposter documents written by people with no lives.
Living in the United States we have the right to freedom of speech, but we should also have the right not to receive spam mail. How many people have received unwanted advertisements via e-mail? Probably a lot of people. Sometimes the unwanted mail is so stupid that it's funny. Females occassionaly receive information regarding male products. Fortunately, the government has tightened up a bit more on the regulation of spam mail, making the internet a more pleasurable place for everyone.
One problem that may never go away is those annoying chain letters, which state something outlandish will happen if you neglect to repost it. All the the one who sends it or reposts it on myspace is doing is spamming their friends. Every once in awhile I look at my myspace bulletin board and my inbox in amusement at how many people sent the same chain letter. The even funnier thing is that I see the same ones at least two different times by the same person in a period of less than a year.
Should we all be subjected to looking at that spam? I understand that there is a right to freedom of speech, but it gets abused sometimes. I know some people who don't even check their e-mail simpliy because they don't feel like going through the chain mail to find something relevant. What's the point? Once you've seen a computerized document stating that you will have relationship problems for the next 15 years if you don't send it to 10 people for the 10000000th time, it gets old. Sure, not looking at the spam mail is the ideal thing to do, but it is kind of hard when it takes up over half of your inbox!
