Oct 2012

I have a nephew who is Republican and posts stupid stuff about Obama. But he's family. What I did was hide his posts or "un-subscribe" to his posts. If it's family or friends you can do this or set it so only most important posts show up on your feed.

If it is just a friend or acquaintance then I would just un-friend them if the person doesn't really mean anything to you.

Lately there is a post going around that says something like "Click 'like' if you think all welfare recipients should be drug tested." Something like that. I un-friended someone just this week who posted that and then added the comment: "I agree!.' Stupid. Poor people are not the ones who have caused the economic crisis.
