Sheeple is a term of disparagement, a portmanteau created by combining the words "sheep" and "people"; a reference to herd mentality.
It is often used to denote persons who acquiesce to authority, and thus undermine their own human individuality.
The implication of sheeple is that as a collective, people believe whatever they are told, especially if told so by authority figures, without processing it to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them.
__________________________________________________________________
I suggest the general educational system imbues this "me too" SHEEPLE attitude starting from the early school exposure. As long as something doesn't touch on most peoples personal space, they assume "society" is functioning, and authority is doing a fine job.
The use of spin by authority is most astounding. The latest episode by the RCMP in Chilliwack is an example. Notice the use of this bloviating nonsense, conducted energy weapon- read TAZER.
The Queen's English is getting so corrupted by those in authority, that soon one will need a special language dictionary to understand what is being talked about.
And the SHEEPLE are sleeping on the sidelines!

Yes and another example is this abortion CO2 AGW. People are ignorant to the notion that a scientist can lie and have a political agenda. The media informs about a fictitious consensus and you have a critical mass believing a science fiction movie which anyone smarter than a 5th grader should instantly recognize as such.
The LIBRANOs have turned this into a fine art. Ever notice that the phrase:
"The vast majority of Canadians agree...." immediately proceeds a LIBRANO policy announcement.

In Canada 95% of the people are being run by 5% of the people who are self serving and that 5% can be downright dangerous!

Perhaps because except for Mulrooney and then Kim Campbell's brief reign, I have positively loathed the policies of the LIBRANOs I am more or less immune to their BS.
Ever notice that LIBRANOs always begin a policy statement with the words:
"The majority of Canadians agree/believe....."
Now how could they know this if they are just announcing this? It is a subliminal message: "everybody thinks this way and if you don't YOU ARE ALONE." I am starting to suspect this is exploiting the indoctrination administered in school......sorta like the 'Manchurian candidate." And it seems to work. I have encountered people next day who calmly assert that "everybody agrees with this."
Creepy!

Some have it right when it comes to Kanadians, most are sheeple ruled by the dangerous 5% most of who are outright sociopaths. Welcome to the Soviet Socialist Republic of Kanuckistan and its people and You know what? According to that 5% your supposed to like it. Welcome to our police state where the difference between the government, cops and crooks is a blurr of similarities.

Welcome to the Soviet Socialist Republic of Kanuckistan and its people and You know what? According to that 5% your supposed to like it. Welcome to our police state where the difference between the government, cops and crooks is a blurr of similarities. Another definition of "Sheeple" could be those in our society who believe the B.S. which comes from the Info-entertainment industry which included the press, TV and Radio. How many times have you heard some idiot say that something was true because he heard/read it in the media. Of course as a member of the Sheeple generation that person would never try to research the B.S. and find out if it was generally considered to be true. Take the price of Gas for instance. It WILL reach 1.50 per L by the summer. Why ?? Because the Sheeple saw it in the info-entertainment media and therefore it must be correct. Sheeple of course would never consider the fact that such stories are planted in order to become self fulfilling events. In the summer when the gas has risen to that level they will feel good about it because they read some story back in April. Seems to me I remember back in the early 90's how the Sheeple also believed the stories that we would be out of oil by the years 2000 or how about the storey we need Ethanol to save oil in Ontario even though it takes almost one litre of oil to produce on liter of Ethanol. Mr. whine and snivel himself because someone else has a firearm that they wish to keep because IT IS RIGHTFULLY THEIRS talking about who is sheeple??? Grow up. |

Mr. whine and snivel himself because someone else has a firearm that they wish to keep because IT IS RIGHTFULLY THEIRS talking about who is sheeple??? Grow up. I can only assume that in order to be a moderator on this site you have to have the ability NOT to be able to read the English Language. Will someone please tell me what part of my post has ANYTHING to do with guns  Seems the selection process for being a moderator also requires you to be a moron. I can see that this person has an obsession about owning a gun and wants everyone to know it. Well A$$hole I don't care. If you are going to reply to my post why not address the issue of the post instead of trying to convince the rest of the members what an a-hole you are. A few posts back there was a comment about the lack of posters on this site. It is obvious to me that with the likes of Rambo here no one wants to waste their time. ;D You are right about this post having nothing to do with firearms. This post is about SHEEPLE!!! Remember? You seem to think you have the automatic right to own a Petroleum companies product at the price you desire. Now aside from "Rambo, Macho" and all that leftard tripe you have exposed yourself as a hypocrite. Millions of Canadians are being the right to own their OWN property without government harrassment and extortion. If ever there was a case for calling the Canadian people "sheeple" it is their willingness to stand aside as we lose our rights to our OWN property. If this was about the ownership of pure milk chocolate I would retain my assertion. Would you use epithets like "the Cadbury bunny here" to describe me? Use some logic in your arguments, the Rambo, macho, guntotin' crap has no substance. Congrats on being made a mod BTW. |

pinoy64 So what's your excuse? (blows smoke into eyes) Well if you took the time to read my post you would notice that the moron in question did not reply to it. He/she simple went off on some silly tirade about gun ownership which had nothing to do with the post nor is a a subject I give a $hit about. For the record, regarding guns,,, for all of you gun owners ,,,good for you. If you are anti gun that is your right. Either way it is a silly debate which I don't care about. At the end of the day those who indulge in this silly debate are Sheeple because it is just another silly social debate with no end. Silly tirade?? The topic is "Are Canadians Sheeple?". When you allow the state to invade your home and rob you, you're sheeple. If it were banana ownership the state was prohibiting, I would defend my right to own a banana that I have purchased and therefore own. Should I use the term 'banana' to appease you? You're here!!!!! ;D |

If it were banana ownership the state was prohibiting, I would defend my right to own a banana that I have purchased and therefore own. Should I use the term 'banana' to appease you? You're here!!!!! ;D The thread was started by Durgan commenting on the fact that twisted words are added to the english language. This had nothing to do with the government. invading your place to take away your guns. None of my comments in anyway debates your right to own guns or banannas for that matter. Get a life and stop trying to debate something no one gives a dam about. Go ahead buy all the guns you want because you spending your money on such devices will not change anything is this country because WE DON'T CARE !!! Once again, "Are Canadians Sheeple?" Yes, property rights are violated and when a group of say 'unregistered banana owners' get irate and decide this is an affront to democratic ideals, certain individuals attack the 'unregistered banana owners' . Various epithets like 'macho' and 'Rambo' are used to attempt to disuade the banana owners from pursuing justice towards the ownership of property. Their fight is for all Canadians, not just 'banana' owners. Sheeple are those that join the elitist scum and pile on the defenders of EVERYBODIES right to property. You, Pin boy are sheeple. You babble the elites position and keep them in power. Everyone cares when their property is stolen or when they are threatened. Grow up and get with the times. |

You babble the elites position and keep them in power. Everyone cares when their property is stolen or when they are threatened. Grow up and get with the times. The issue seems to be if anyone cares if you own a gun. This seems to be the point you are trying to make. The answer is NO. If you own one I would expect that you would have a caring response . This would be obvious to an idiot. In addition if it is your gun that is stolen it is your Legal obligation to report the theft. This again is obvious and if you were unaware of this requirement then you have no right to own a gun. But in the end if you want everyone to care if you own a gun,, sorry most of us don't care. Funny how you made a comment about me babbling some elitist position. Are you nuts ?? READ My LIPS I DON"T GIVE A $HIT IF YOU OWN A GUN. Then why do you whine and wheeze about it? Why the 'macho' , 'rambo' BS? READ MY LIPS, YOU ARE LYING!!! Back to the topic. Canadians are sheeple, look at bill C-68. Do you know what happens to somone when they report a 'banana' theft? Once again, violation of property rights. No one has the right to enter my home. If I want a chandelier made of 'bananas' thats my business, not yours. Canadians are sheeple!!! Now run along and read about bill C-68 before you beak off. |

If I want a chandelier made of 'bananas' thats my business, not yours. Canadians are sheeple!!! Now run along and read about bill C-68 before you beak off. I have no interest in bill c68 because it does not affect me. I don't own a gun so why should I care. Your problem is that you and the rest of the gun owners have no idea how to present your case so you will get some support from those who think gun owners are nothing more than moronic murdering freaks. Here's a hint,,, tell them that handguns have been controlled by registration in Canada since the early 30's. Bet most people don't know this and if they did they would realize the info-tainment story spinners are just feeding the masses b.s. You could also tell them that a-holes like the mayor of Toronto have their heads up their a$$e$ when they propose banning handguns because our problem is not the legal Canadian owner but the fact that the most violent terrorist nation on earth (the USA) is the main source of these illegal weapons. If every legally registered handgun in Canada was turned in the numbers used by Toronto's black person community would not change because their supply would just increase from the Yanks. But in the end those like yourself who have the continuous urge to tell the world you have some flicking right to be a gun owner ( a fact that most people don't disagree with or even give a $hit about) will continue to moan and groan rather than using some creative logic to fight the Sheeple of our society who believe the B.S. they read in their morning info-tainment media. And finally if you think all Canadians are just Sheeple why don't you just make your way to the nearest airport and get the flick out. You are no different from many of the immigrants who think Canada is such a $hitty place yet are happy to take everything the country has to offer. Immigrants? I'm more Canadian than you'll ever be. You can't handle hunting, how can you be Canadian yet be against the initial economic establishment of our Nation? Canada wasn't founded on fruit picking and spicers. Generations of my family have made this country great. You get out. It's urbanites like yourself that can't accept the true nature of this nation. You are the sheeple. You leave. It's not about guns, bananas or shoelaces. It's about our true cultural heritage and the right to own property. The Americans are a foreign nation, but you would rather obsess about them than make something out of Canada. Americans are terrorists? Were the Toronto 17 Americans? The last time we had American terrorism on our soil was the fenian raids. |

The last time we had American terrorism on our soil was the fenian raids. What kind of complete idiot takes some helpful support of their cause and turns it into a criticism. What in my post has ANYTHING to do with Immigrants or hunting ?? Is it that you are totally blind or are you just incapable of interpreting simple phrases.? After reading you silly post I finally figured out what your problem is. Your "Urbanite" comment obviously indicates you are from some back water rural community where common sense does not prevail. Suggest you make a trip a to one of the URBAN centers of this country where the wealth is created. Here we have schools that will teach even old people to read and write one of the 2 languages of our country. And don't tell me how it's the rural folk who produce the food we eat because we all know in this day and age that is bull$hit. You might find all this enlightening. How can I trust the 'helpful support' of someone whose intellect I find lacking? What was this quote then? The URBAN centres that are creating the wealth today are good ol' redneck Alberta's Urban centres. Ever heard of petroleum, mining etc? You won't find many mines in TO! Have you ever been out of the city? Typical Morontonian, thinks it lives in the hub of the universe and no industry prevails beyond it's gates. Back to the topic. Canadians ARE SHEEPLE. C-68 violates human rights that date back centuries. Innocent until proven guitly for example. Now, are you going to contribute to this topic or blather on about petroleum that doesn't belong to you? |

C-68 violates human rights that date back centuries. Innocent until proven guitly for example. Now, are you going to contribute to this topic or blather on about petroleum that doesn't belong to you? Ah now things are clear. You are a flicking Albertan. Thought you were a rural person.. Well ahole you can't tell me anything about Alberta. Lived there for a number of years and have seen the ups and downs. I remember clearly when there were 2 oil price decreases and 90% of the employees in the Calgary oil business were fired. Think that can't happen again ?? You are dreaming. I also remember clearly the arrogance of the people because these poor simple minded jerks had taken on the arrogance of the large number of really arrogant redneck Americans that invaded the province. By the way jerk off don't forget it was us guys in the production center of Canada that agreed to use your natural gas way way back. even though the stuff we used here was less money it was decided to use our fellow Canadians product because that seemed like the right thing to do. And how about your heritage fund. Ever question why it is so low remember it was drunks like Klein who drove it into the ground. And now there is a new guy who caves to every whim of the oil giants. You said that the oil does not belong to us down here .. You are correct and it does not belong to you either because NAFTA says so. Check out these quotes from NAFTA: "The only significant limitation NAFTA places on Canada is that it prevents the Canadian government from implementing policies that interfere with the normal functioning of energy markets in North America." "The only condition that NAFTA imposes on Canadian energy products is that all buyers in North America must have equal rights to buy those products." "As mentioned above, NAFTA requires that all oil produced in Canada be available to all consumers in North America" Interesting that little old MEXICO who is also a member of NAFTA does not fall under these rules because they had the guts to decide not to. It is only the silly Canadians that were conned into signing away any control we might want to have. So while you are up in polluted Ft. Mac serving burgers and Mcdonalds for $15 per hour you can be secure in the fact that the control over what you THINK is yours actually belongs to big US oil,,, not Canada or even the silly little naive Albertans. And you can be confident that when you die from the polution you can feel great that Americans are still able to drive their big fat SUV's using THEIR oil. Where did I say I was an Albertan? Now, once again, oil belongs to those who have extracted it and those who have purchased the land and mineral rights to extract it. If I purchased a home in the US, Americans would not automatically get to trespass on my land. Those American oil companies have invested in Alberta and Albertans are wealthy for it. Once again, oil is irrelevant. Canadians are sheeple because we allow the state to interfere with our property and personal lives. Any nation that allows their legal system to denigrate to a point of "guilty until proven innocent" is a nation of sheeple. We could use the Americans Patriot act as an example as well as Canadians bill C-68. Since this is a forum for Canadian issues the Patriot act is irrelevant. |

We could use the Americans Patriot act as an example as well as Canadians bill C-68. Since this is a forum for Canadian issues the Patriot act is irrelevant. Albertans may be reasonably well of because of the oil but not nearly as well off as they should be. If they had a decent government things would be a lot better. Remember the gauge to Alberta's prosperity was the Heritage Fund which previous governments s never revealed the value of until it was reduced to ZERO. Then there is bill c-68.. My goodness you are really obsessed with this gun thing aren't you.. Bottom line here is the vast majority of Canadian do not give a crap if you own a gun or not. This only changes when the likes of the current Toronto mayor thinks that all handguns should be banned then both sides start squeaking and squeeling like silly stuck pigs. The gunnies want their guns and the anti gunners want to take them away. Both sides are so flicking silly. Reality is that no government would agree to shell out the Billion or so dollars that it would cost to take in all the handguns in Canada. And even if they did the number in the hands of Toronto black person gangs would not change. Best advice I can give is to settle down and relax. No one is going to take your guns. You will always operate under the same rules that every gun owner has since the 1930's. Just remember,, no one really gives a $hit if you own a gun. This desire for a gun free Canada only lives in the minds of gun owners who want everyone to know they are an owner and they won't put up with having them taken away. Bottom line grow up and stop wanting everyone to know you have a gun cuz the majority of us just don't care and those who do have no control. In short,,,get a life Obsessed with the gun thing? Not really. Obsessed with the freedom from a police state, yes, very obsessed. People tend to sleep better when they know the authorities have no right to invade their home. That's the point, I DO have a life, you don't see me getting all down on Charlton Heston for having an interest. I'm glad you don't give a rat's bollocks that I don't own a gun. Now prove you don't care by not getting so bent out of shape. You are a liar. My lifestyle and stance on civil liberties gets you right bent out of shape. Do you wish to retract that statement or should I commence to prove you a fool and ignoramus? |

The reality is that what these "gun-grabbers" have in mind is confiscation without any compensation. What they fear is the notion of firearms---symbols of individual liberty.....in the hands of private citizens. They have no interest whatsoever in safety or crime control... except as an excuse for their political agenda......which is ultimately surrendering Canadian sovereignty over to a bunch of corrupt UN bureaucrats......see Agenda 21.
According to the latest polls it would seem that Canadian's are not such sheeple afterall----Harper et al appear headed for a MAJORITY.
