Come On Now...Just put the gun down, ma'am . . .
"Caption This!!!"? Oh come on now...it's a good tension breaker and gives everyone the chance to post something witty. It's a positive creative outlet."
See My Ugly Kid!!!" I'm betting your parents carried snapshots of your ugly little mug around for years when you were a kid and gushed about you and quickly you were growing up as well as how smart you were in school. Hey, look at ya now...You're on GOLO !
"So-n-so is getting Surgery!!!" This is a no-brainer. Even presidents are interested in such as these...I recall Forrest Gump showing LBJ his battlefield scar where he was shot in the butthocks. And then there was that scene in the motion picture Jaws when they were bragging about their scars...we all do it. Normal behavior.
"Pray for my (fill in the blank), they are dying." Now this is a little heartless...but I've found someone else always gets what you had your desires for and you'll be lucky to get that old porcelain vase that sat on the mantle.
"Let's discuss scriptures!" Most adherents to any faith encourage one another with the recitation of verses from their sacred tomes. And for the secular it's the joy of "name this tune" with a few lyrics of a blast from the past. Golden Oldies fascinate most of us.
"Isn't this song great? Here are the lyrics!" Already addressed this objection...see above.
"This is my pet, see its picture?" I know people who put a lot of love into their pets and you should be honored when they want to include you in their circle of huggability. Besides, you just might get blessed with some dog slobber if you're lucky.
"I got blocked for no reason!!!" Oh there's always a reason. Might not be one you agree with...but there's always a reason. Otherwise one would have to believe in the Chaos Theory. See Ian Stewart and his "Does God Play Dice" at Google Books.
"Trolls bother me." Trolls have to eat and that's why they come out from under their wittle bridges. If you toss them a scrap of meat ever now and then, they'll leave ya alone.
"Hey, Read this Email I just Got!" Um, I agree. That's just an electronic version of a chain letter and should be swiftly tossed into the circular file...i.e. trash. Delete.
"This poor (pick your favorite species) needs adoption!!!!" Cats are delicious as well as dogs, but one has to skin them properly before grilling. This should be done out in the country as the screams tend to upset city folks.
"Black people are racist!!" Sure they are. So are white people, brown people, red people, yellow people...We all have some racism in us. And then there's NASCAR...they love racin' around in circles there.
;) (Can't believe no one has noticed them blue eyes)

Ever do a pig; they scream; it helps to envision bacon, ham, chops, tenderloins and such while the racket is going on.
