I believe it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said something to the tune of "simple minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, and great minds discuss ideas." I try to stick to this as much as I can, I hate spending minutes talking about people and who said what to who, especially when they're not even people anyone in the conversation has ever met. That's usually when I leave the party. I hate idol worship, and hate is a very strong word. Maybe it's because so many people's lives are unfulfilling and it's all they can do to live vicariously through the TV. If this sounds like you you're wasting your life and you need help. Once again, strong words but I feel very strongly about this.
Suggestions for not sucking like this:
Turn off your TV.
Take an interest in the news and what's happening in the world around you.
Discuss with others.
Try to figure out the "why" of anything and everything.
Form opinions.
Constantly re-evaluate and strengthen your opinions.
Speak your mind when you disagree with the opinions of others.
