Seems that it needs decanting since the vote to start bombing Syria.

Apparently unless you've held a gun ready to defend you're country you're not allowed an opinion.

Yeh all of that.

I've got some 'friends' on Facebook I don't actually like in the real world, let alone their twisted right wing version of it (it's worrying how very right wing coppers are after they leave the force and "can say what they really think now" - especially when they're married to acting police members) and there's just some idiots who seem to still be living in 1995 and think we're friends just because we went to school together and the tin foil hate bridge who seem to want to spread "the truth" about such diverse topics as vaccinations and 9/11.

Anyway... it can be 'politically sensitive' to unfriend them, especially as the really hard-of-thinking ones immediately send another request thinking they might have missed you in the first place - so now I 'unfollow' them - they're still 'friends', but I never see or hear from them.

I've been very lucky in only having to delete and block one knuckle dragger in recent weeks, who I wouldn't count as a friend anyway, just someone I know via cycling.

Thankfully my friends and I are very aligned in our views.

I got involved in a Facebook debate about the whole Syria thing, and one of the guys I was arguing with (don't know him, not friended) messaged me a link to a video of ISIS burning people alive (I presume, from the URL - I ain't viewing that schizzle, no sirree). Nice guy.

Which is pretty much the problem with the right and wrong, polarized view of the world the right of centre have - they're revolted by them, and it's hard not to be - but they only think in terms of eye for an eye - they kill people, so we kill people - a nice, easy to understand right/wrong 'war' and more so, if you don't agree you must be on the side of ISIS.

You can set them on the "acquaintances" list too, and only post to "Friends except acquaintances".

That way you never see them, and they never see you.
