    I don't use them all of the time. I prefer to use them sparingly with my texts.

    I really do not like memes that much once in a blue moon I will find them funny but most of the time I think they are just a little silly. So with that being said I do not use memes for anything.

    I make my own on the rare occasion that I use them. usually in response to a stupid or horribly wrong meme I see.

    Memes are fun to use, I just like them being used moderately so they don't look something becoming annoying. They always appear cute

    Memes are usually a hit or miss with me. Though one of my favorite memes would have to be the philosoraptor meme. I used it once, people create pretty clever lines.

    I do like memes, I love looking at funny ones. But in terms of using them, I think I've just used quite a few. A lot of my friends use memes a lot.

    I don't see any problem if they are used properly / contained ... but unfortunately that's not how the "game" works, is it? :oops:

    I like it, but I don't have much patience with them.

    Yup, unfortunately memes begin to become worn out or just too offensive down the line.

    The offensive side of the joke is one of the worst part because once you lose control of it, the joke is not funny anymore and thtere no more reason for it to happen.

    Well that is the thing with most people, to them offensive means funny. Also, depending on who or what the meme is targeting many will argue that the meme speaks the whole truth and will say that people need to learn to "take a joke" or "lighten up". That is when the endless thread of arguments begins...

    Choosing a side - regardless of the meme being used - puts you in a bad position because in a way or another you are being unfair.

    Yup, the best winning move is to not play at all in that case. Though, using meme's in arguments can have its up sides in a way.
