Re: Some Humor is Fine - Some is Not

Toilet paper jokes are funny.

Death is not funny.

While I wouldnt think that was humorous I would have just commented on the pic there on facebook with how I felt!

Re: Some Humor is Fine - Some is Not

When we see something like that, which is horrific both now and historically, we need to be brave and speak out against it. The past tells us that we can't sit silently. We have to call out hate and inappropriateness. Just because some find something funny, doesn't make it right. Use social media to educate. You don't need to be nasty, but direct. Don't be shy about letting someone know things like this are inappropriate.

Re: Some Humor is Fine - Some is Not

@FlowerBear @lynne6was7  If you read earlier in this thread I did call it out directly and without nastiness and I fully expected a nasty response but I have not gotten any response.  I also fully expected that this FB friend would unfriend me but she has not.

 

I have gone back to her FB profilte page to see if others have said anything.  There were 3 emoticon responses in total.  One was a Like, one was a Laugh, and one was Shocked. That was 2 days ago and no comments other than mine are there.

Wear a mask. Social distance. Be part of the solution - not part of the problem.

There's a lot of stuff posted on FB that I don't find funny, no matter what is going on in the world.  It's just not my thing.  Other people think it's hilarious.

 

I'm with those that really don't understand why this was brought here.
