Only very occasionally and they are normally pretty boring. They don't come with the same Hollywood effect that your news stories generate. One of the biggest stories today, was a mallard duck having a record 24 ducklings.

I have always been against this idea. I liked the international mix of ATS, but its getting to a stage where American topics dominate the Recent Posts page. Nearly every topic is related to the Boston bombing. Last month it was Sandy Hook, then the cinema shooting, before that we get your election fever,then again in the mid terms.
These topics then spawn their own separate threads on gun control, or gay marriage or abortion.
The rest of the world doesn't really share the same passion for these subjects and should we be so bold as to chuck in our 2pence worth, we are told to keep out of their politics.
I think the time has come for a UK and Europe forum, where we can engage in our own debates on issues a little closer to home.
When you feel you can't really contribute to 80% of the topics on the Recent Posts page, the site loses its interest.

Sidenote: we/ats is use to uk news, its aleays the same, either, Riots, or london railways get bombed or the queen is a reptillian or greece,italy,ect..ect..needs money, wait, best repeating topics, college gets a tuition hike. Ya you all should stop paying your royals to live fat and sassy whilst the commoners nearly starve.
