It's selfish to think that you should have a right to simply not care about things in the world. That is how many Americans are, too concerned with themselves and their lives to give a shit that horrible things actually go on elsewhere. It's not until it's around you that you ask "Oh why?!"

It's good to be aware of what's going on.

However, you do have to be careful of where you get your information. News corporations tend to either brush off important stories or make every event sound like it's the start of WWIII.

Get information from many different sources, then form your own conclusions.

I don't know if you're American, but as an American your only duty as a citizen is to participate and keep informed. It's your responsibility to keep your own freedoms.

I like these two posts above me.

Americans too often forget that their way of life is not simply given for free. It is disrespectful to those before us to not care because we're either too lazy or too consumed with ourselves.

It's good to watch the news or read it but it's not good to live on the news. Like some people get depressed b/c of the news. Like my mom we tell her not to watch it b/c before she would not miss any news at all on tv & then she would start stressing over things that she shouldn't even be stressing about.


Every day the same things happen. Someone dies, someone this, someone that. We hear about threats, we hear about alliance, we hear about peace, we hear about hunger, etc. It's good to be aware but don't kill yourself over what's occuring though.

It's fine, as long you don't vote or offer an opinion on national or international issues.
But you really should be informed, because ignorance helps perpetuate issues.
