What news, past or present, has been of interest or personally relevant to you?

The vast amount of plastic and other garbage collecting in the gyres of the oceans.

- Global warming and its effect to the climate.
– Chinese government’s decision to install the old rig near Vietnam (I thought a war was going to break out)
– Same-sex marriage being legalized.

@Mimishu1995

“Same-sex marriage being legalized.”

Are you referring to its legalization in the USA?

Is it legal in Vietnam?

@Brian1946 so far it isn’t here, but at least a country has legalized it. It means that it is something that can be accepted, and soon it will be legalized here.

In the U.S. Bernie Sanders is getting WAY more people at his rallies than any other presidential primary candidate.
I find it fascinating that somehow good policy discussions are happening despite that the ‘liberal media’ are generally ignoring Bernie, attempting to bait him into Hillary-bashing (he’ll have none of it), or dimissing him as ‘unelectable’ (he’s been a mayor, a congressman, a senator… for 33 years, and ‘liberal media’ keep calling him unelectable).
