Greetings fellow forumites...

This is somewhat of an odd question, but hey, we're all somewhat odd people.  For a super brief background, I attend UC Davis and you may or not be aware of some craziness that is going on there.  We have been told numerous times that "the world is watching," and I was curious just how of an accurate statement this was.  So I turn to my internet "sources" with a simple question: have you heard about what's going on/how much have you heard/how much do you care?  Quite frankly, I don't have really strong feelings in any direction and was just curious what kind of "reach," per se, the news had...

Thanks...

I live in Sacramento and it took me a about 30 seconds to even realize what you were talking about.... So i'd say... For people like me at least, no one is paying attention
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven't used enough.
I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

This I figured as much.  It's a bit frustrating to me because it feels a bit blown out of proportion considering I am getting ready for finals in probably the hardest quarter I have yet had (and probably will ever have) and I want to be able to focus and do well...

I live in China and did not become aware of it really until the meme showed up.

I did go to school in Chico so I mock your for your Davis ways.

It's pretty sensationalized, and there's a good chance that anyone following the Occupy Movement knows about the pepper spray incident and its fallout with the chancellor: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/12/jon-stewarts-mocking-of-uc-davis-chancellor-touches-a-nerve.html.

The world is watching, but only the meaty bits.  Best of luck on your finals.
