I thought we were all changing our pictures so child abusers would log into facebook and freak out.

Haha, I have the same thoughts. I wanna slap everyone who changed their pictures

I honestly saw the cartoon character thing and thought "What the fuck, December is Pokemon profile pic month." My profile picture will remain a Sandslash.

it doesn't bother me people support this even though it does nothing to help fight child abuse the thing that bothers me is when because my friends encompass a range of teenage girls they get pissed at me for being so pro child abuse not changing my picture

Meh. In some places, we do it just for kicks, y'know?

Still, in my opinion, better than actually posting your pics online. That is even worse.

Oh, and welcome to facebook.

This is lame (not the topic) and so is Facebook. Sorry if that pisses anyone off but its just how I feel. I might pop on Facebook once a month to look at some of my relatives pics but thats about it.

I have saw where it was started by http://www.facebook.com/thezahraproject?v=info and here is a little proof of her story http://www.wral.com/news/state/story/8729564/ Its funny how the true idiots sit and wait for some one to bad mouth a good thing and then back the bad thing.
I can't work out wtf you're trying to say. You think this campaign was started by that project? Why? The people that have made a real difference are the naysayers who didn't change their pics and pointed out it was a pointless, empty gesture, because that seems to have made at least some people actually donate some money to the nspcc.

Snopes now has a page about the origins of the idea (which didn't start out as having anything to do with child abuse) and its worth or lack thereof.

Speaking in English might be a start, whatever you're trying to get across, a confused mess of a sentence like

is not going to help you achieve it, especially if you don't actually tell anyone who you're calling idiots, what the good thing is, what the bad thing is and how you consider that people are backing it.

The 'cartoon profile' campaign was not started by anything to do with the Zahra Project, in the beginning it was just some guys wanting to put cartoon characters all over facebook for the fun of it, the 'This will stop child abuse lol" was only tagged on later to try and get more people to take part.

Yes? I don't think anyone understood what you said.
