   I discovered the miracle of being too lazy to hook up the digital converter box.

   We’ve been TV free for 10 years. Not missing it at all.

   I don’t care whether anyone’s apathetic or not.

   I’d post a comment if it were important to me.

    What is apathy?

    I don’t know and I don’t care.

    When asked if I was concerned that the largest problems facing our country was ignorance and apathy?
    I said ” I don’t know and I don’t care”.

    Tennessee Charlie, that must be why FoxNews peddles fear and hate – they’re Liberals, the lot of them!

    Andy Goodman has a good phrase for it: compassion fatigue. It’s not that we’re apathetic, it’s just that there’s SO much ‘bad’ out there you get tired of it.

    Since when do you get “news” from a ‘tv’? There’s the problem people. News comes from newspapers and radio, not the stuff packaged for morons on tv that is called news!

    As long as it doesn’t come out of a tabloid - all the trash that’s unfit to print.

    “Dirty Laundry” by Don Henley. That’s ALL you need to know about the evening news…and, Superfrog…that’s IGNORANCE and apathy, but, what do I care… :-)

    K-Bach, you sound like an avid watcher of Fox News. Or do you just get your information second hand?

    bmwk12ltc said, 3 months ago

    I get my news from Fark.com and the Drudge report. Fark tells me all the garbage that’s fostered as news and Drudge has one of the best track records out there for accuracy. But mostly I ignore it as the comics are more entertaining and the comments are usually much more intelligent than anything on the tv or print news.

    Just don’t confuse the news with the truth and you’ll be OK

    He’s not apathetic, he’s inebriated. Fortunately, over indulgence leads to all kinds of emotional outbursts, so he won’t be apathetic for long. Pretty soon he’ll either be crying in his beer or calling this guy his best buddy and buying him rounds. Alcohol–the miracle wonder drug!

    Apathy is the key to happiness.

    Tonight’s meeting of the Seattle Apathy Club has been canceled due to lack of enthusiasm.

    I used to watch the news just to get depressed, maaaannnnnn!

    Such as, Squeaky Fromme just got released from prison.

    There goes the neighborhood.

    There are people who get all of their “news” on the internet.

    They don’t listen news on the radio, watch TV news or read newspapers.

    But, they go to the internet discussion forums to complain about the news reporters of the media.

    On the Tulsa World website, there are people who literally brag about not reading a hard copy of the local Tulsa newspaper and they make fun of its editors and editorials.

    even newspapers, these days, seem to be filled with (mostly) infotainment, at least the ones i get to see. i still read them, but skim a lot.
    as for TV: (though i still watch, occasionally,) when a sizable amount of people get their “news” from faux news shows done by comedians, it’s an indictment of how bad TV news has become. i think it started when the “look” became more important than the credentials (for anchors), and has gone down hill steadily.

    I miss the weekly world (wierd?) news!

    Apathy is a great survival tool. Sadly, staying apathetic requires great concentration and effort.

    If anything really important happens, someone will mention is eventually on Gocomics.

    superfrog, it’s an old one but the way I know it, is,
    What’s the difference between ignorance & apathy?
    I don’t know & I don’t care.

    I would make a comment, but I just don’t care enough to do so…

    “K-Bach said, about 7 hours ago

    Tennessee Charlie, that must be why FoxNews peddles fear and hate – they’re Liberals, the lot of them! ”

    Fox peddling hate? You either don’t watch MSNBC, or it’s a different “hate” you hate.

    We’re getting the news the media thinks we want. In general, our attention span is getting shorter and shorter - young adults aren’t all that used to in-depth matters - sound bites, and on to the next whatever. Even bands, like n-sync or Backstreet Boys, millionaires overnight and county fairs a year later. Oh well, “who cares”, right?

    Well, if that honestly helps some people get through their daily lives, then whatever….

    Nothing matters, and it wouldn’t change anything if it did.

    pbarnrob said, 3 months ago

    Now the tricky one is: What’s the difference between apathy and equanimity? Maybe it’s caring, but being unconcerned, since it’s all Maya (illusion) anyway.

    Think Globally, Act Locally; but don’t be enslaved by (or attached to) any results.

    I’m not apathetic, I just don’t give a damn.
