mmmm snopes! I've taught a few people to check before sending and if anything seems too good to be true or to fantastic to be reality - I'll check it out first. The first time someone posts something stupid - I send them the link via IM (no point publicly humiliating someone who just doesn't know) after that if they continue to post stuff like that - it's on.
I also make it a habit to never post political statements or meme's - there's too much taken outta context or just stating half the quotes (from both sides) for my taste... for those I just "hide story" and move along.
