How do you feel about the world? Me myself. I could care less actually. Ive given up pretending to care about what's happening in other countries, or even my own for that matter. I just live my life my way and face whatever challenges come my way. For example. Say I watch a movie on TV. I watch the movie, I enjoy it, I move on. Which is the main reason when ppl go hey look it Nicholis Cage and Im like so what. "Dude he played in that one movie you like so much *Insert Baddass movie name here*." Then I go "oh yeah nice"..... "Anyways Im hungry..." So I ask you all. What do you guy think about to world. Do you care about what goes on? Do you see it as a sense of entertainment? Maybe some of you are like me, and really just don't care and are more focused about your life, family and freinds. Or maybe your the type that wan't to know about everything. After all, the saying goes. "Knowledge is power."

Yes and no. But it really boils down to....would you rather want to be a blind powerless sheep, or a powerless sheep? The world is run by greed, every champion of justice is motivated by a darker yet necissary matter. When does human comfrot outweigh human life? And don't tell me you value a human life over your own personal comfort, or else you should donate every worldly posession of yours to a foreign aid company.
We can all help those in need, and whether or not we do there will always be more people in need. Utopia is a plesant dream, and entirely unreachable as long as mankind exists as it does. There will be another crusade, another massacre, another genocide in the name of racial purity.
Do all the good you can, but in the end, what good does it truely do? From Biafra to Darfur, nothing truely changes.

Pie. I've got a nice Strawberry-Rhubarb that needs eating if anyone wants some
Seriously, I do think that knowing whats going on in the world/our own country (whichever country that is) is important-
but I prefer my news to be unbiased and accurate. Finding all that in one place is kinda difficult and I've found myself unwilling to sift through numerous media sources to find out whats really happening.
I had enough of that in the military and I'm no longer paid to spend 2 hrs making an intelligence brief so I often don't bother.

Yes and no for too many reasons to mention.
But I still would like some pie anyway.
