I'm 21 and I'm embarrassed to say it, but I just realized a few days ago that I know NOTHING about WTF is going on in the world. I barely know anything about what's going on in my own country, let alone in the Middle East, China, or Russia. I have no idea WHO is fighting, let alone what about.
What would be a good place to find a good, detailed introduction? I tried wikipedia, but there's just too much information presented at once there and I really have no idea where to start.
I've never really been into History classes and current events and such, and have avoided them when at all possible (I don't even watch the news or read the paper, ffs), but I think it's time I grow the fuck up and take a look at the world around me.
Any advice would be appreciated.
