I don’t have this problem because I deleted my Facebook account over a year ago. Facebook initially was a fun way to keep in touch with old friends, but the Progressive Left destroyed it with their incessant propagandizing. I got so sick of “friends” posting pre-made memes from Leftist organizations praising Obamacare, calling Republicans greedy racists and on and on. I don’t think I would have minded it so much if these morons had taken the time to express their own opinions, but instead they would just lazily forward all these Leftist graphics and slogans and pollute my page with it.

Beyond that I realized that Facebook has become a do-it-yourself intelligence dossier so that Big Brother doesn’t have to put any effort into knowing who your associates and family are and what you’re thinking. Screw ‘em, they can read my FR posts if they want to know that stuff about me.

One of the best features of Facebook is to stop following stupid individuals you don’t associate with in real life. When the leftist cousin or high school alumni sends the friend request, you can accept and not follow. No insult and they don’t even now you never see their foolish posts.

IIRC that's not possible, inactivate but can't delete. Maybe I'm wrong because I do not do Facebook even for family.

Some family members spill their guts on it, telling things that should never be aired, get in fights.
Not for me.
I have tweeted a few times though, rarely.

LOL!
My sentiments exactly. I figure I'm on their list -- but at least they had to read through some Free Republic posts to get there...

You must be young. All my friends are basically 45 years old with a few younger and a few older so I don’t have any lefty stuff going on and I have over 670 “Friends”.
