Facebook - Time To Die?

How about a warning on their feed " this person holds medical and/or political opinions that are unsupported by any evidence . Click yes to see their stream of bullshit or fuck no and only see what they had for lunch and bragging about their wonderful (heavily edited for consumption) life?"

<p>Fuck yeah. Got some friends who FB share his brand of hippy superfood crap and often it requires the unfollow option.</p>

<p>Politics - not sure where NZ is up to in the scale of professional politics, but in Australia we're only about a generation behind the US in terms of lobby funding and toeing the party line ahead of common sense. At the moment our Labor party have a lack of anything resembling leadership in their leader, and apparently a policy of "we don't have any policies, don't like any policies, particularly those of the other bloke!"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The comments of that Stuart Nash guy about reformation for Labor is pretty apparent here, too. I've always felt that the biggest damage done to Labor in the Howard years was the GST - they argued long and hard about how it would hurt working families, calling to the traditional support base - the Unions - on the financial devastation it would wreak. Of course, income tax was tweaked downward to compensate, so those Union workers suddenly had a bigger pay packet and could give less fucks about the GST. Howard eventually ran out of puff, and Kevin07 was stabbed by JLard was stabbed by Kevin13 and they collapsed in a screaming heap of nothingness. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now Labor are using a GST price hike opposition as a rallying point, and pointing to the cuts that the LNP are making as evidence of burned promises and ripping the little guy off. But the cuts have to be made somewhere because the resources boom isn't a thing any more because China finally realised you can't just keep throwing people and things at other things to be profitable, with an emerging middle class consumer base.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Turnbull needs to win an election before he can overcome the factionalism within the LNP, and you have a longstanding Liberal member trying to leave that side of the Coalition to join the Nationals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ultimately, people in Australia have it so good across the board that they need to bitch about something, which is often bitching about nothing.</p> -

<p>I had the same policy..but then I found out one of the worst perpetrators on my feed had been running a depression support group a key part of which was lifting peoples spirits etc and old wolfey's does that apparently, so anyway I've had to adjust my policy and re-follow my friend as that's pretty admirable.</p> -

<p>Thats good of your mate to do that but I'm sure he'd be better off sharing some of JKs wisdom about beating the black dog than someone called David Avacado Wolfe .</p>

And I can admire that. But using a massive D-bag to achieve that dilutes the message somewhat -
<p>Holy shit that's insane. I've never heard of the guy, people actually buy into that?</p>
