I use it to keep in touch with family, but sometimes that backfires. I recently posted that I'm so sick of politics I could puke, and from now until after election I'll be hiding all status updates that are political statements.

Most people agreed and "liked" my status.

One person answered that the solution to my "illness" was to vote for his candidate, and went on and on and on about the real CHANGE his candidate would make.

That person who blatantly ignored my wishes was my own brother.
