A WHOLE LOT of you need to think twice before calling others "Sheeple" or not "Awake"
There are a lot of wide awake people here, but there are also a lot of people who cliam to be awake because they are here. Just because you are in the company of the aware, does not mean you have done all the leg work required to get there. You have to be prepared to give EVERYTHING you see a fair shake and considerable research. You can never trust the mainstream media as a source of opinion, NEVER. For ANYTHING! You cannot trust your "gut" because your way of thinking is largely a result of dumbed-down society and awful educational system. The dumbing-down didn't start with this generation, you are stupid. Just like the rest of us. The only thing us awake do is FIGHT it. We look for original source materials, we don't believe or disbelieve anything until it has been fully investigated and we only watch mainstream sources to see what they're feeding the sheep.
You are running out of time to to really good research easily and I highly suggest you get on it. Try it with the Pesticides in pepsi thread, you may be surprised.
WAKE UP BEFORE YOU FALL FOR SOMETHING YOU REGRET!!
The whole terminology is asinine.
We're "awake", so we're superior.
The unawake are "sheeple". They are inferior.
Even though boatloads of 'us' voted for Bush--many of us TWICE. (So much for any signs of mental superiority.)

Yes, let's learn from Ron
The thing that made Ron Paul such a standout in my mind is that he was incredibly knowledgeable yet always humble! If I was in his shoes it would be so tempting to go on the airwaves and start screaming about how right he was all along and how ye mere mortals were so wrong, mwahahaha.
But someone he kept his ego in check and never showed arrogance, which is why people are so drawn to him. We should never give in to arrogance, no matter how frustrated we get. Patience is something to be valued.

Just curious, is Ron Paul "awake"?
For the record, Ron Paul doesn't believe in conspiracy theories and has disavowed them publicly. As a medical doctor, I also doubt he would have much to say about the Pepsi story you mentioned, which seems to have brought out the pseudo-science crowd who doesn't really understand a lot about chemistry.
In your opinion, is Ron Paul "awake"?
--"...but there are also a lot of people who cliam to be awake because they are here."
I think people are here because they listened to Ron Paul and liked what he said.

The Creature from Jeckyl Island
For some reason, Ron Paul found this book interesting and truthful enough to endorse the back of it. Not to mention, he is a more or less monthly guest on Alex Jones' radio show.
Now I dont know about you, but I dont tell every one I meet about every alternate theory before I know the person I am talking to. I find that if you lead in with information that may be "uncomfortable," people shut down to it.
That said, I do think that the main topic of this thread is a bit toooo high and mighty. Do I say sheeple and awake, sure. Is it Right? Likely not. Is it accurate? Probably?
The whole idea of trusting nuthing? Rediculous. My God blessed me with discernment. This whole idea of only trusting "source documents" please.
I must wholeheartedly agree with you.
...Quite possibly for the only time in this century.
This Forum is about Ron Paul, and this MOVEMENT is founded in Ron Paul running for President. There's lots of extraneous stuff and "free speech", but it's still about Ron Paul. A lot of people here want to hijack the movement and make it into something else. They fail.

Mike, I somewhat agree...
The person you're talking to (and his friends and family) should not be called a sheeple. But the other anonymous maroons who get 100% of their news and information from Faux, MSNBC, CNN, etc., yeah they are sheeple and deserve the term.
Sheeple are the anonymous millions you can't reach. They're not the person you're talking to.
Let the person you're talking to decide if he wants to be a sheeple or awake.
Just keep telling everyone the truth
way less sheeple and more folks who know the truth and tell it to someone else.

Many years ago I called people stupid for not understanding what was happening to our country. My father, much wiser than myself, (and been in the game longer) said NO they are not stupid just UNINFORMED! I always try to remember that when I have the compulsion to knock someone up the side of the head.
Nice post.

"Sheeple", "Awake"
I use 'em with caution lest I find myself also tempted, lest I fall into the same deceit. Lest I give up or help is no longer available to hold me. Lest thou be tempted with the same temptation that has tempted them.

I believe it's a bad idea in
I believe it's a bad idea in general. Can you imagine if Ron Paul had gone around pointing at various people and yelling, "You're a sheeple! You're a sheeple!"
Some here may have found it satisfying and humorous, but I doubt it would have been very effective. Most likely counterproductive.
Every time you feel the urge to call someone a sheeple, you should stop and consider at least posting a link to something which supports your argument instead.
you mean like...

"The more I learn, the more ignorant I seem to become".
I think this paraphrases a Victor Hugo quote. Each piece of the truth we discover opens the door to many facets of our ignorance. How little we really know. How much Truth lies ahead of us. So little time to advance. Another quote from One far more wise, "And above all things, get Wisdom".
Merry Christmas, Mike and any other eyes that read this.

I'm with ya mike, but it's friday and you need a drink. I need one as well.

"Baah!" sez I
The point raised in this post is excellent. If you always assume that you're not fully awake, not fully informed, then there's always something new to discover. Once you assume you are at the ultimate state of awareness such that anyone who disagrees with you is wrong, you're slamming the door on any kind of intellectual growth from that point onward.
But wait! There's more!
The Bible has some interesting and specific things to say about being a "sheep" versus being a "goat". The term "sheeple" as an insult has always disturbed me for that reason.

Just curious Mike
Does that include religion also?
a persons faith
is just that..their personal "FAITH". Is there any need in trying to push "non faith" onto the faithful? It just doesn't make any sense, and it does a whole lot more harm and absolutely no good that I can think of. A non-believer isn't going to "wake up" a true believer and follower of their faith. People of Faith have Something and Someone in our lives that can never be eroded by people who just don't believe the way we do. Let's compare....our personal faith in God... VS... non believers telling us their versions and views on faith...not much of a contest. All the videos and books written by man attempting to explain away God just won't cut it. And it makes the people who are trying to kill faith show their true colors..it's not about Liberty and Freedom for all, it is about them and their beliefs..their words and actions speak for themselves.
And by the way..someones simple mentioning of their personal faith, or mentioning Christmas...isn't exactly beating people over the head with a Bible as some would attempt to make us believe. It is simply like minded people communicating...it's funny but we of faith aren't worried about someone's faith or lack of faith, we are worried about Freedom and Liberty for ALL to practice anything they like, or nothing at all, some can't say that...it's more about trying to call "Faithful" ignorant, or any other hateful words a person can come up with to describe someone who doesn't believe the same as them.

Barnes' Notes
Meekness is the reception of injuries with a belief that God will vindicate us. "Vengeance is his; he will repay," Romans 12:19. It little becomes us to take his place, and to do what he has promised to do.
Meekness produces peace. It is proof of true greatness of soul. It comes from a heart too great to be moved by little insults. It looks upon those who offer them with pity. He that is constantly ruffled; that suffers every little insult or injury to throw him off his guard and to raise a storm of passion within, is at the mercy of every mortal that chooses to disturb him. He is like "the troubled sea that cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt."
