like (comparision) = wie (as in original title)
(to) like (verb) = mögen
gefallen (past tense) = fell
Gefallen (noun) = liking, favour
gefallen (adj.) = fallen
And thats just scratching the surface, look at

@Syren Baran "Lost in translation"
Thanks muchly. I am grateful and, to be honest, relieved!
FAO: Anon Coward (Fuck Tard)
Its the german government. I dont think they have any .gov.uk domains. I also dont think they are spending your taxes.

""justified legal doubts" raised about the social network."
Facebook itself or the pillocks who will click on any link that looks vaguely interesting?

Every day in every way, I'm so glad I've never used FaceBook.
Even El Reg
Has Like buttons....
We are all just data resources.
