Email Nonsense

Everyone gets a lot of emails everyday and I know everyone hates spam mails. Usually spams enter your spam or bulk folder and they stick there unless you open or move them so they have become less annoying. But most of emails sent everyday are from people you know, your friends and families, which are either chain emails or invalidated warnings most often than not. I'd like to specify those types of emails I really, really hate to receive, and I know most of you do too, unless you find them very interesting, which I think only mindless people do.

1. Send Or You'll Die !

This really tops my list. I hate emails being forwarded to everyone with precautions that something really bad will happen to you or your family if you're not going to forward them. You'll die, you're going to have years of bad luck, or you're going to be haunted by some freaky old lady or something. Hey, guys! It's the 21st century, do you think this will really happen? And if this really is true, I would have died a very long time ago eversince emails were created!

2. Religious Chain Mails
I don't mind being sent with prayers and wishes, as long as you don't take the name of the Lord in vain. It's one of the greatest sins, and do you think the Lord will not bless you unless you forward the email? What kind of god do you believe in? The Lord I know blesses everyone who simply believe and have faith in Him, without having the obligation to forward any emails.

3. Truth or Nonsense?

I get this very often. These emails usually give dire warnings about some food or drinks or anything leading to cancer, heart attacks or other fatal illnesses. Some of these emails are about other interesting controversies like whales or dolphins being morbidly slaughtered, possible hijackers, new ways to rob you, or the likes. Most of these emails are even supported by pictures or diagrams. While most of these emails are really interesting and attention-catching, I urge everyone to validate the authenticity of such mails before forwarding them to everyone you know. A lot of these emails are NOT TRUE and forwarding them only causes confusion and widespread rumors. There are websites that validate the truths of such emails.

Whale Killing in Denmark, Truth or Fiction? Cold water during meals is bad?

The creation of email is really such a phenomenon that has helped a lot in our everyday communication. However, this has also become the source of confusion, rumors and even terror. You can always ignore mails or better yet, validate if it's the truth or fiction before believing in them because you may end up curled up in your room, afraid do anything because of something you read from your email.
