Thats probably my problem then. I don't do social media. I like talking to strangers in bars and listening to their views on life. its much more diverse although I know I am on my way to bus nutter status
I find the whole liked by thing a bit weird frankly.
Glad I'm not the only one who disdains all this social media nonsense!
All the same, something similar is probably the way of the future. In 40 or 50 years "Likes" and suchlike may well have material and financial consequences for individuals and familes, when there are ever fewer practical entrepreneurial ways for people to show relative merit.
US President-elect Donald Trump has said in an interview he is open to leaving intact key parts of President Barack Obama's healthcare bill.
Mr Trump, who has pledged repeatedly to repeal the 2010 law, signalled he was receptive to a compromise after visiting the White House on Thursday.
He told the Wall Street Journal he favours keeping two main parts of the bill because "I like those very much".

"I think one thing that should be distinguished here is that the media is always taking Trump literally. It never takes him seriously, but it always takes him literally. ... I think a lot of voters who vote for Trump take Trump seriously but not literally, so when they hear things like the Muslim comment or the wall comment, their question is not, 'Are you going to build a wall like the Great Wall of China?' or, you know, 'How exactly are you going to enforce these tests?' What they hear is we're going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy."

Don't think anyone here takes you that seriously either.
HTH. Ciao.
