Rules for Sharing

Why do people think they need to share everything that is seen or read on Facebook?  There should be hard and fast rules about sharing.  For instance, if you read or see something extremely funny, share it.  Others might think it's funny too.  You may just brighten someone's day with your funny share.  But, bear in mind, if people have told you that your sense of humor is questionable, it's probably not a good idea to share something that you think is funny.  (It may not be as funny as you think.)  If you read something educational or interesting, share it.  A recipe, a workout routine, political information - all of these are examples of shares that would be educational or interesting.  Next, pictures of your family, yourself, your pets - share these.  People that are friends with you and your family members like seeing these pictures.  That is a great way to stay in touch and communicate.  So, what are some rules that address what NOT to share? Rule #1:  Do not share things that are distasteful and inappropriate.  For instance, a man sharing a cartoon of an older woman with saggy breasts, not cool.  Rule #2:  Do not share pictures of a friend's friend when you don't know the person in the picture that you are sharing, nor do any of your friends except for the one friend who is friends with that person.  In other words, don't share pictures of random people from someone else's page.  Geez- that's just weird.  Rule #3:  Don't share things that confuse people.  For instance, if you have no grandchildren, don't share a post about how wonderful it is to be a grandparent.  People are going to think, "Did I miss something?"  Again, weird.  Finally, don't share political posts from both sides.  Do you even know what you stand for?  In other words, you can't share posts from both the NRA and gun control enthusiasts.  Again, CONFUSING.... Now, if you can't abide by these rules (and I'm certain that I forgotten some) then the finally rule is this:  NEVER TOUCH THE SHARE BUTTON!
