MadMonkey: well - I will agree on your request for a discussion board about "world news" as soon as the chosen news really represent the "real world".

How do i mean that?

As an example, my now 7-year-old daughter does not want to catch the schoolbus for a while now. And why not? Cause she is linked to the "real world" by watching some news on a TV-channel every day - and no she is thinking that in the real world there is a bus-accident every day and - logically speaking - her schoolbus must have a daily accident, too...

Stopping my offtopic-opinion by telling all how angry I am on the people who are responsable to tell us what the real world is.
