You should be ashamed for even introducing such a divisive topic for ppl to caption on.

Try to keep your personal political views out of fun topics fgs.

Why do you see it as a divisive topic Icy? Actually, it is quite an endearing photo of a man and his wife, and the man is clearly proud. Why does it offend you? I know she is younger and beautiful, but sheesh!

Read back and see the captions.

my political views have nothing to do with the selection of this photo.  Not sure how you would think that!

I didn’t see it when it was used last year.

I did and k1ooo-slr-sales hasn't captioned anything. Why should he feel ashamed? Are you sure you're not put out because your hero was chosen to be captioned and you don't like that? Really, is it as offensive as you referring to the Queensland Premier as "Palaschook"?

water off a duck’s back for me.

The other day I was called a Marxist supporter.  Today, it seems, I am anti-Trump for putting up a photo of Trump.  To be honest, there are plenty of photos of Trump that are divisive, and I don’t consider this to be one of them.

It's not about the picture. It's about the captions. One of them suggestiing shooting an innocent woman.

Where did I say Kloo captioned anything?

How does a caption make the photo offensive?

Take issue with whoever posts a caption that offends you....not with the person who posts the photo.

I didn't say the photo was offensive, I said it was divisive.

Which is what I did. Sheesh, talk about chinese whispers...

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

I didn’t see any divisiveness until you posted.

You could always post a complimentary caption.

Spoiler

and you did take issue with me and had a go at me

Some of the captions may be a bit off (I'm not keen on the one that implies he's shooting her) but not all of them are that bad.

This seems to be an argument between old adversaries, rather than a commentary on the picture itself.
