Comment The New World? (Score 1) 195
Don't know if this is off-topic or not, but I want to give people an example of the difference between the Internet and the "real world"
I live in Israel, and if I had watched CNN and other news channels I might have grown to hate Arabic people mainly because I only know them from what I am forced to hear, not what I want to hear. BUT...I don't watch the news channels all day long...I go to mIRC and chat. And guess what, I met other people from supposedly "hostile"(?) countries, and made friends with them... The Internet can change opinions, don't trust everything you hear, don't be passive and just sit in front of the TV all day. The Internet isn't just "news", it can be a window for a whole new way to look at life. well, that's it, yell at me if you like, don't yell if you don't want to :)
