<p>The more I learn, the more I want to get out there and make a difference in the world. I hope there are some passionate CCers who want to change some lives, too! Whatever issues you have on your mind, I hope you check out the following website: <a href=“http://www.losethelabel.org%5B/url%5D”>http://www.losethelabel.org</a> . It was started in an effort to help our generation lose the label of apathy. It grew out of <a href=“Facebook Public Group | Facebook”>this</a> facebook group. The facebook group isn’t as interesting as the website. You can update your own blogs about what you’re thinking about or up to, browse upcoming events, and much more!</p>
<p>that looks pretty cool, i put it under my bookmarks.</p>
<p>what’s wrong with apathy? it’s not our fault that in today’s world there’s a bunch of more things to have interests in. we have more options than generations before us did and there’s nothing wrong with having different interests than they did.</p>
<p>“Every generation needs a new revolution”</p>
<p>Almost stopped reading right there.</p>
<p>I’m kinda with BP-TheGuy88, I mean, having ‘apathy’ for the sake of being ‘apathetic’ towards EVERYTHING is bad of course (it makes you an emo, among other things-_-). And on the other hand, trying not the be apathetic towards EVERYTHING just for the sake of not being apathetic is also bad (you’d wind up going to these protests and stuff without hardly knowing the first thing about what you’re protesting, then you could wind up finding out that the protest actually supports something that you’re against!).</p>
<p>OK, it’s not just for the sake of not being apathetic! There are lots of self-absorbed people in our generation, but many of us ARE passionate about helping those in need, saving the environment, stopping racism, and a host of other issues. We are the ones who do community service because we want to and not because it will look good on college applications. This website is for those people. I wanted to explain what the phrase “Lose the Label” is supposed to mean; it makes sense that those of us who are not apathetic to the wrongs of the world would not want to be grouped in with the rest of our generation!</p>
<p>Lol and sorry the link didn’t work - I didn’t have time to check it after I posted the topic last night.</p>
<p>For those who ARE interested, please join the website and get involved!</p>
