    Well, I can't blame them for not listening to you. Referring to other people as robots and sheep is an undeniable sign that you're a douche.

    What is sad about a sheep being thoroughly happy and content?

    It's fine for a sheep.
    A man is not a sheep.

    Most people that are perceived as sheep by others do not perceive themselves as sheep ;) It seems merely projected onto them by some discontent people. "Hey you're not thinking for yourself like I do. You are a sheep".What if someone genuinly doesn't give a shit about what is happening on the other side of the world or even their own country (but does care about the news and happenings in his own surroundings)? Is he really the unpragmatic one by definition?

    Their is no true journalism out there anymore!!!!
    We all have to do our own research to find out the truth.
    I find the media is trying to start a race war.
    I try to inform people don't believe the media anymore.
    THE GREATEST TRICK
    THE DEVIL EVER PULLED
    WAS CONVINCING THE WORLD
    HE NEVERED EXIST!!!!
    Do you know what bothers me most
    People who discredit everything on the internet
    and assumed it's false but then turn on the
    television and accept everything as ultimate truth.

    Thich Nhat Hanh said not to turn away from the world's suffering, but not to immerse yourself in it to the point that you're overwhelmed, either. The Middle Way.
    I like AP, Reuters, Al Jazeera, the Guardian. The Washington Post has some excellent stuff on occasion; as does the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Rolling Stone.

    I think the word you're looking for isn't 'unpragmatic', but 'egocentric'.
