I don't know, I just felt like saying that. Just kidding... :P Well it's pretty hard to explain except that I got that really annoying forward and now this other friend just forwarded too... and it's so wrong! I feal like I should respond to them but I don't want to sound mean ya know?

Well, I usually just delete the e-mail (sometimes I don't even read it) and don't reply.  The person who sent it to you probably sent it to other people, too, and they won't notice if you don't reply.  AND, eventually, they might stop sending you those forwarded things! :D

Yeah, I'm doing that much, but I think I need to tell her what I've been thinking. (AKA what I wrote here) The other bad part is that one of my other friends, who the email was also sent to, forwarded it again. (It came back to me) It was so weird! The first friend, uhhh, "Sarah" seems like the opposite of the kind who would forward that! We are normally completely on the same page with political stuff, and we're both very religious Catholics. "Liz" on the other hand... I wouldn't be as surprised if she forwarded it. :)

Yeah, it's my Christian friends who send me that rubbish, too, instead of the non-religeous ones.  It's kinda weird. :P I've noticed, though, that people (NOT Chatterboxers!) tend to be really different online.  Like a lot of my friends are really mean on Facebook, when in real life, they're usually nice.  And sometimes it's the other way around; my "friends" are pretty darn nice online.  :):)

Are you talking about the email about Muslims? If so, you need to say something. It would probably be difficult to talk about out loud, so maybe you can email her back. Try not to sound too angry, even if you are, but just state facts about their religion that show that not all of them are evil. For example, killing is actually against their religion, so Muslim murderers aren't actually Muslims. True Muslims believe in giving to charity, praying, speaking kindly, and not littering. All this comes from my school textbook. I'm inclined to believe it. There are people who believe in Jesus and claim to be Christians but go around commiting murder, but they aren't really Christians because the Bible says not to do that. And... you probably get my point. They really aren't all that bad.
