Theres too many people in this world that just cruise through life. I used to be one of them. Too long was I self-induced into an education coma, bought on by drugs, alcohol and apathy.
I've started reading the newspaper, because i'm tired of knowing little about the world. The media, throughout their flaws such as bias and money-grabbing, provide an essential service of spreading information throughout the world. I generally skip to the World sections, because the news in New Zealand is only interesting if you like murder or politics.
I asked my co-worker what she thought of Kim Jong-il being suceeded, only to recieve a blank stare. I asked her what she thought of North Korea, and recieved the reply "that's in Tibet right?"
You've got to be educated, because you don't want to look like a dumb bitch.
Also:
O.o.. who doesn't know about North Korea... wow...
