   A lot better.  These ``friends'' are not people who understand what   
   we're talking about here.  If you start explaining why they shouldn't   
   put your picture there and so on, it will really be a lot of work.  And   
   you might end up losing these friends because, you know, people have   
   little tolerance for politics.   
      
   People wanna have fun.  Eat, drink, play video games, watch TV, ... They   
   get fed up with political stuff---it's hard to understand and it all   
   seems to boil down to same thing over and over again.   
      
   But, yeah, we're all probably better off away from these ``friends''.   
   We just need to face our loneliness, which is healhty.
