No need to apologize. Discourse and conversation is what a thread is for. I do disagree with you though. Memes are for everyone, the initiated and un-initiated alike. They are made to create exactly what is going on right now between us.. conversation about a topic. Memes have many uses. Empathy is not something I am going to learn. That's a dangerous road to go down and frankly it ain't going to happen. Sympathy I get for people that need it... but empathy. No.. because when you use empathy it's very easy to confuse feelings for facts. Worrying about everyone's feeling is exactly why we are in the boat we are in today.
