I just don't give a ****. Does anyone else just not give a ****?

    Climate change? Don't give a ****
    50c extra for fags? Don't give a ****
    Some young autistic girl sails around the world in a boat? Don't give a ****
    Brexit? Don't give a ****
    Some pseudo celebrity is angry about some **** or other on Twitter? Guess what, don't give a **** about that either.
    Religion? Not a single gram of **** given.

    There are so many people who care so much about all of the above as if it's the most important thing in the whole world but honestly I just don't give a **** about any of it. I know I probably should but I just don't. I feel completely unaffected by all the bull****. Anyone else feel the same?

    Btw, I could write a full short novel on all the things I don't give a **** about.....

    Not particularly, I just don't have anything else more pressing to attend to right now.

    Do you have time to talk about Jesus?

    Looks like your all out of ****s ... although the irony is strong in your post. Listing things you don't care about when obviously you've given some thought to them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Force Carrier


    There are yet higher states of consciousness for you to evolve towards.

    Where you don't give a fcuk that you don't give a fcuk. Won't even cross your
    mind.

    Are you looking for some sort of feedback to boost your ego further?

    Nah, it was just in my head at the time how little I care about stuff that seems like the be all and end all to some people

    I can’t control these things so I don’t bother worrying. It’d be great if the human race wasn’t a race to burn all the resources and fill all the landfills but it is.

    Nobody will be happy to hear me say it and nobody will give it any weight of importance if I do.

    So long as the wages are in the bank every week couldn’t give a fiddlers.

    From my post you have deduced I have an ego? Wowza, you should be charging for that kind of psyche analysis

    This is exactly it, why do people stress and moan about stuff they can't control. It's pointless and a complete waste of time.

    It's easy to not give a **** about stuff OP. Giving a **** actually takes effort.

    It looks like you may have come down with a severe case of Edgelord.


    Take 2 paracetamol, have an early night and you should be grand in the morning.

    yea i actually get ya...

    Social Media is a constant stream of depressing information that's got very little to do with your daily tasks.

    Although some of them are terrible and will affect long term, You get blasted so constantly with pure muck that its hard to give a ****.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,981 ✭✭✭Naggdefy


    I read the Op's sh*the and replied. Now I don't give a xxxx about the thread so I'll go back to what I was doing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    My left ball has been extremely itchy all day. Don’t know why.

    I breathe a sigh of relief, you sound way too edgy to be involved in this conversation.

    There's a lotion for that. Works too

    Complaining is an national sport here. AH would be all tumbleweed if everyone was happy the whole time & not allowed to moan about something.

    Like most people, I care about some of the things listed in the OP, though it doesn't mean I spend a great deal of time thinking about them. I do what I can about the important things (like recycle, and go to a great deal of trouble to vote against Brexit, ignore Twitter/gossip), but if I can't do anything practical I don't waste too much time fretting. I'd say most people are the same and if they can do something, then that's what they do to a lesser or greater extent.

    When it comes to celebrity culture or religion, most people don't engage if they don't want to. It doesn't take any effort at all to ignore something.

    The truth is... no one gives a f*ck.
    People only care about themselves and those closest to them. Their own problems. But a lot of people won't admit that.

    You're seen as a "wan*er" if you say you don't care about your man begging down the road. Yet... so many walk past him every date with the head down.

    And the people who bleat the loudest about caring about every little thing are generally the ones who care the least and contribute nothing to solving the problem at hand. We're a selfish bunch really but I don't mind admitting it. I see all these folk around the globe protesting about this that and everything and I just wonder to myself, why bother. Go enjoy your life for a while

    Have to agree with the OP, over the last few years I have become extremely apathetic to everything in that list. I simply don’t care. I have my own set of problems to worry about and they are the most important to me, I literally couldn’t care less about climate, “the homeless”, or brexit or anything else happening right now if I tried.


  • Registered Users Posts: 140 ✭✭shygal


    if you understood these problems better and their impact on not only yourself but others, perhaps you would have a different view on caring.

    Nope I still wouldn’t, no time for the problems of the world when I have my own life and problems to focus on.

    Nope, I understand just fine and still don't care

    You have to see the humour in it OP e.g. people getting worked up with strong opinions on American politics with so little link to that place and its people. They'll never even clap eyes on Donald Trump, ever.

    It's absurd and hilarious. It is simply canteen conversation common ground for people who have damn all in common in life bar being hired by the same HR girl.

    No actual ****s required when you see the funny side of it.

    That's a decent outlook, I like it and do find it funny at times

    The OP is honest and I tend to share his views.
    A lot of people swear blood oaths in support the fashionable topics but will do flip all about it.

    All I know is Id kill you all for a Ford Mustang and a bungalow near Lough Corrib.
