Why talk about others that you don't know?

Why talk about others that you don't know? I ask myself this question constantly. I'm not gonna sit here and lie to whoever is reading this that I have never taked about someone and judged them.. because I have. And I think its wrong to talk aobut people that we don't personaly know, and thats why I try my best not to do that. You never know when someone that actually knows them at a personal level is around and they might go off and tell them the things you have said about them. I have never started a rumor or even participated in spreding one because I think thats a shame.. to the people who are doing it. You can ruin someones reputation when they haven't done anything to deserve it. How would you like it if somone talked about you and started spreading rumors and then all of a sudden you have all these so called "Haters"? It wouldn't feel good, would it? so next time you are gonna talk about someone make sure you know the facts and what they have been through, and don't sit there and make things up about them.
