Which is worse? Freepers or Sheeple?
I've been thinking about the woman from my class who simply doesn't want to know what goes on in Iraq and, apparently, doesn't want to know how hard we're being fucked over by the assholes otherwise known as the Bush administration.

Now, don't get me wrong... I can't stand freepers either and I honestly can't think of anything good to say about them in comparison. Hmmmmm.... okay, at least they make SOME effort to find out what's going on, even if it's only from FAUX news or that asshole Limbaugh. And SOME of them are finally waking up to how fucked up Bush is, so hey, there's two sort of good things when you compare them to sheeple.

So, what do you guys think? Who would you rather deal with? Or is there really even that much difference between the two? :dilemma:

1. Freepers
Often, Sheeple just aren't thinking...they don't seem intentionally cruel like a lot of Freepers...IMHO (but it's nearly a tie).

3. Sheeple.
Freepers at least have a stance, even if it is a misguided one. I can sort of respect that. And at least they are acting on their beliefs. Bystanders are just always cowards, which is pathetic. I can't respect someone who deliberately sticks their head in the sand just because they don't want to hear unpleasant things.

Plus, there's a lot more of the sheeple types than the "adversaries". Pretty much every horrible situation in the history of the world has been driven by a handful of evil people and about 10 million others who shut the blinds and turn the TV up louder (so to speak). If a 10th of the sheeple would get their heads out and stand up with the heroes, the evil people would never have a chance. It's the sheeple's fault that bad things happen - the vast numbers of them deliberately let it happen because they are cowards.
