The ancient philosophy of Epictetus, Seneca the Younger, and Marcus Aurelius, among others. Stoicism focuses on living a virtuous life, and devoting yourself fully to your task at hand, while stressing indifference to the events outside of your control. Stoicism teaches that the quality of life depends entirely on the individual, and that events can only make you persistently depressed or unhappy when you are a faggot.
Stoics experience emotion like any other person, they have just realized that it is a self-harming choice to allow emotions to effect your well-being after the initial emotional reaction has passed.
A Stoic is, in effect, the extreme polar opposite of an emo.

Person 1: I find it amazing how Brian continues to exert amazing effort in his career, keep a polite demeanor around others, and continue to ritually hit the gym every morning even though his wife died last month.
Person 2: Brian practices Stoicism, he knows that reducing work ethic, ceasing politeness, or jeopardizing his health because his wife died is completely illogical.

Get the Stoicismmug. This is a true, and non-biased definition of the American poltical party. For insults, satire, and sarcasm, refer to anywhere else on this page.
Republicans generally speaking hold a right wing political stance. They believe that the economy should offer as much freedom as possible. They believe that capitalism and the free market are best in their purest, unregulated forms.
Republicans also hold the view that personal choices and personal freedoms should be restricted, in order to hold up a good "morale" for the nation.
This can be seen by issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Republicans generally hold the belief that both of these should be made illegal by the government in order to preserve "morality" and "traditional practices." (The quotes are there, because these things are relative.)
Republicans generally oppose stringent to moderate gun control.
Republicans generally support tradition and belief as opposed to innovation and progression.
Also, they eat babies.

Sean Hannity just interviewed Rush Limbaugh on Fox News. I didn't think so much republicanism could fit in one room.

Get the republicanmug. A car that it mindlessly bought by teenagers under the impression that it is "fast" despite the fact that it needs a blower just to keep up with the camaros and trans ams from way back in '02.
The Mustang GT makes use of a 4.6L V8 engine, which basically gives the horsepower output of a sewing machine. Compare it to the 2010 Camaro's 6.3 L LS3 V8, producing over 130 more horsepowers than the GT's baby engine. The V6 Camaro is actually as powerful as the Mustang Gt's V8.

Look at that kid with the Mustang GT. He just challenged a Trans Am owner to a race. Poor kid is going to get embarrassed.

Get the Mustang GTmug. An extremely inconsiderate person, who is closely associated with Harley Davidsons.
A person who owns and frequently rides a Harley Davidson.

Get the fagmug. Someone (usually a member of BB.com) who goes to the gym to work out their abs. They work out not for gains in strength or performance, but for "the chicks." They never do integral powerlifting movements such as squats and deadlifts, and only bench press the night before they go to the club. Also see douche-bag.
That ab-fag just did 3 sets of abs and now he's going home to rub oil on his stomach. I wonder if any of his actual lifts have gone up in the last 6 years.

Get the ab-fagmug. Cliffs: mofo driving a veyron runs into a salt water lagoon and left it running. Joebucked the engine.

Get the joebuckedmug. The wave is a sacred and required unwritten oath that applies to everyone who purchases a Chevrolet Corvette. The oath is agreed to upon the purchase of the vette with absolutely no exceptions.
The wave states that while you are in your Corvette, you must signal any fellow Corvette drivers with a friendly (yet extremely manly) wave to acknowledge their presence and their fine taste in automobiles.
Any driver who does not return the wave is a disgrace to the Corvette community, and just looks like a total douche.
No exceptions.

"I was in my C5 Z06 last week, saw a sick C6 rolling down in my direction, so I gave the fella the wave.
He didn't return the wave, so I followed him to his home and burned his house down."
