Pinto's have Always Been Patriotic! Hit one in the Back and watch the Fireworks! That is Unless they got the Fuel Tank Recall Done that Fixed it! Just Kidding! Good Looking Pair BTW. I always wanted to get one of those and Put an 85 Gt 302 & 5 Speed in! Then I would Have a Home made Hybrid. It would burn Gas and Rubber!

And Here is what has happened to the U.S.A. And why Patriots are Few!

Apathy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Apathy (disambiguation).

Apathy (also called impassivity or perfunctoriness) is a state of indifference, where an individual has an absence of interest or concern to certain aspects of emotional, social, or physical life.

[edit] History

Apathy etymologically derives from the Greek απάθεια (apatheia), a term used by the Stoics to signify indifference for what one is not responsible for (that is, according to their philosophy, all things exterior, one being only responsible of his representations and judgments).
Many Christians believe that the concept was then reappropriated by Christians, who adopted the term to express a contempt of all earthly concerns, a state of mortification, as (they claim) the gospel prescribes.
The word has been used since then among more devout writers. Clemens Alexandrinus, in particular, brought the term exceedingly in vogue, thinking hereby to draw the philosophers to Christianity, who aspired after such a sublime pitch of virtue. [1]
The concept of apathy became accepted in popular culture during the First World War, in which the appalling conditions of the Western Front led to apathy[citation needed] and shell shock amongst millions of soldiers. Many often had no emotion or thought process concerning killing and death in general. Also in Iran this term has been widely used as an aftermath of Iran–Iraq War and apparently a contagious disease may have been widely spread in the fronts.

I got those via email a while back. It took me forever to work out how the hell it was even possible.

I'd have gladly paid money to see it.
