I dont watch the news or read the paper or anything

why not? Don't you wish to know what is going on in the world you live in?

Not really. I think news shows are nothing but total crap, and I pretty much avoid them at all costs. I used to get the paper daily but I stopped doing that because the amount of stupidity that is present in our government and society would just get me all worked up, and since there isnt really anything I can do it about it, It would just make me start out the day all pissed off. So I just stopped reading it, and im a much happier person now because of it.

How do you get all the sand out of your ears when you finally pull your head out?

I realize Memorial Day Weekend is probably skewing the results on average but I still think its sad.

I take much the same stance as Alobar.

I'm fortunate enough that most [censored] won't have a meaningful effect on my life, and the more I think about, the more unhappy I become.

I used to be very passionate about politics and news (I was raised on NPR by people who worked in public radio) and around the aftermath of the 2000 election, I became so disgusted with both American society and media that I just decided I'd be happier if I didn't care.

I read the Seattle PI's website, and visit Salon for their gossip column and that's where my news comes from. Every once in a while I get sucked in by something and [censored] up and care for 20 days, but then I just end up frustrated and upset and give up again.

BBC World is my homepage. I usually don't read the articles, but at least this way I get the big news from the world.

Ok, you may not care about America and it's politics but what about the rest of the world?

only aware because it was the headline on the front page of the newspaper outside my hotel room door. I picked up the paper, saw the headline, thought "damn, that sucks... lemme grab the sports page before I head down to the pool to fall asleep."
