An inability to influnce one's own opinionative thoughts, or processes, due to the overall beliefs/actions of the majority. A 'neo-conformist' typical in America's society. Willful ignorance &/or apatheticness.
A phrase originally coined by William Cooper describing the ill-informed, or dis-informed masses of individuals.
Sheeple commonly depict these traits:
Depravity of recognition, automatic response towards a conflict/event, unquestionable affirmation, surrender upon authority (or authorative figures). The range varies on how convinced the sheeple is in his/her own confidence.

The worst neologism in the history of the English language, use of which will derail any serious argument and make the user look like a moron.
Do not use "sheeple" in any place it could not be replaced by "sheep people." Since no sane person would ever write a sentence using "sheep people," NEVER USE "SHEEPLE."

Sheeple (def.): Any group of people who are perceived (by the user of the term) to hold the majority view on a given matter where said view is in disagreement with the user of the term

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
). It is meant to imply that a person or group of people are unthinking conformists who only believe what they believe because (insert conformity-related reason here), and not on any evidential, rational, justified, grounds. For many, this is preferable to actually examining what (if any) grounds a given person might have for their belief(s), s
