Kaz you lived in the states, for 6 years..you weren't even a teenager then were you? so who were you as a preteen discussing world events with? As a teen once my self I know that I didn't become "politicaly aware" untill mid-teens most kids in any country would know squat about anything outside their country. Too much fun and play to be had. This is not a flame, just an inquiry and a comment on the level of people you are discussing. I think you are just an exceptionally bright kid and may be suffering some for that. ------------------ Disintigration is easy, If you really want to impress me, ReIntegrate it.

The question was about the WORLD not about only rich developed nations and as far as I could tell The PI and Puerto Rico had decent schools, the south east Asian countries I was allowed into I was only permitted to talk to a limited nnumber of military types and was not even allowed to know exactly which country I was in. If we are talking wolrd awareness here then lets include the world not just the reletivly tiny portion called europe. Lets also remember that europe only holds a fraction of the worlds population as well. Most of the countries there are smaller than some states in the USA, its a matter of scope. Knowing whats going on in California and in Maine while living in Oklahoma is covering more geography than say being in London and knowing about Hamburg. ------------------ Disintigration is easy, If you really want to impress me, ReIntegrate it. |

*Cheez Whiz, but people are getting quick today. I was apparently typing the same time Kaz was. Thought she might be off in the cafe and take a while to get back. One day, I'll learn. * ------------------ "Allright! We'll call it a draw." "I'm INVINCIBLE! ... You're a LOONEY!" Dare to dream. Be bold enough to try.

For what it's worth, among industrialized nations, American schoolkids score lower on average than children from other countries in tests on world geography and history. I hope that will change over time, as our current administration has pledged reform in our school system. |

I'll make the point yet again, about bin Laden. (sigh...) He and his group WERE ARMED AND TRAINED BY THE CIA AND MI6 TO USE AGAINST THE SOVIETS IN AFGHANISTAN. I repeat, bin Laden and his group were armed and trained by the CIA and M16 to use against the Soviets in afghanistan. bin Laden and his group were armed and trained by the CIA and MI6 to use against the Soviets in Afghanistan... and again.......... I must say, you seem to be quite selective in the points you reply to. ------------------ |
