i'd like to add my 2c about this please. i found this thread because i was just doing a search for "funny jokes" and there isn't an area that addresses this wonderful outlet.
i agree that a serious post by someone in pain needs to be answered in kind. i know when i am crying and afraid and things seem dark and bleak, i don't want someone to make light of it and use humor when i need support, serious support. and i have learned the hard way personally that i need to read what is going on in a particular chat room before i share a joke here and there (not often). even if it says "social chat" there may be someone there that is hurting and needs help. but if i see that the chat is "light" and there is light bantering, i know i can "be silly" too (within reason of course).
but i was just going to write the administrators to see if they could possibly add an area for jokes and such. i have found over the years that if i can reach inside and find something to lighten my day, be it a funny joke, or an amusing story, a funny avatar (picture) i can somehow dig my way out of a depression or feeling sad.
so i will suggest this. maybe a solution? anyway, hugs and love to everyone...
