Talk:Apolitical
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Pejorative, Biased
The first paragraph needs to be rewritten.
"According to some theories this is most common among individuals from the lower and middle classes in relatively affluent societies such as the United States since the 1950s, and especially since the 1980s, who often lack retention of the subject matter of their educations. Or, they may simply disagree with all political viewpoints presented to them by their educations, which often severely limit or else gloss over all but the most general stereotypes of political opinions."
According to some theories? Needs citation! This doesn't belong as the second line either. This whole stub implies that anyone taking an apolitical stance is uneducated. People who delve into political philosophy often arrive at an apolitical stance through erudition. What does being apolitical have to do with the US specifically? I can imagine people from the 20s and 30s who were apolitical. In fact, I could imagine people from ancient Greece to be apolitical. Being apolitical can be a logical educated position.
[edit] Love-shyness and apoliticality
The article on Love-shyness mentioned that love-shy people are more likely to be apolitical. Why isn't that mentioned here?

[edit] Citation
I'm removing the Citation Needed thing. The pages at the bottom are all this article, in its current state, needs. Stormchaser (talk) 20:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
