Well, This is a Surprise

So I mentioned the N.S.A. leaks to one of my friends on Facebook, and he said that he already knew about them. My room-mates already knew about them, and they said that when they went downtown Boise drinking last night that everyone was talking about it.

Yeah ok...

It's everywhere in the news so it only makes sense that they knew about it

True, but I don't think I've heard many people talking about the news before. But I guess that makes sense.

Methinks you have the wrong social circle in that case. Personally everybody I know has been talking about this ,even those who usually don't pay attention.

Which isn't surprising. People who weren't politically active also talked ALL about water gate back in the day.

Big news makes for big conversations.

So your friends know about it and...................
What? Is there a punchline coming? Its national news, lots of people know about it. Id be more surprised if people DIDNT know what was going on...

They weren't "talking about it"; rather, you brought it up...


To quote your opening post:

Most folks don't talk "news" unless forced into the situation. Most folks like to have fun while amongst friends.

To the poster above me: listen to what Tenth said.
