What is happening outside of your country right now?

I just finished reading the morning newspapers. I'm very glad that I live in an oasis of calm and not in Ireland, Israel--or elsewhere in the Middle East--The Balkans, Afghanistan, Central America, South America or in Africa.

The Palestinians are mad because the Isrealis are escalating the violence in the occupied territories. The U.S. is playing semantics games about our involvement with the upcoming UN Racism conference.

I have no clue.

Various creatures are living their lives, for one thing.

Disarmament in Macedonia, fighting between Israel and Palestine, riots in Spain, Australia winning the Test Match, a whole world of activities.

I have no idea...I'm not very big on current events-I'm lucky to know what's happening in my own country most days.

I haven't had lots of time lately to really delve into political or other issues involving other countries. I know there's unrest in the mideast....oh my, what news. Why don't they just quit reporting that stuff as though it was the first time anyone's heard of it. Sheesh.

I'm not sure, I haven't been watching the news

The middle east is about to explode. The Taliban regime in Afghanistan is continuing to be horrible and controlling.

Well, I know for a fact that the Israelis and the Palestinians are kicking the shiznik outta each other. Those dumb stoops.

Life is happening. People are being born. People are dying, wars are being fought, peace is being made... pretty much the same stuff that is happening here but in a different language by people wearing different clothes.

Lots of stuff is going on in Israel and Palestine. Africa continues to have trouble with AIDS. I hear other things but I don't follow much news other than what's local. Actually, not quite - I read it, I just don't remember it.

A whole lotta shit I'll never ever hear about.

Time is progressing, people are being born, and dying, and somebody is fighting with somebody else...

Geez...it's as if there's not enough going on in my immediate vicinity! Now I have to worry about what's happening outside the country? But seriously folks, isn't this a rather broad question? I'm sure lots of things are going on outside the country. More than inside the country, to be sure.

Kristin, 20

i don't understand the question. .
