Help catch me up! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Hey all-
You may have noticed I've been absent around here for the past two weeks. It's because I was at camp having a great time!!! Of course, I missed you all and thought about you constantly

However, I now need your help! Because of my absence, I've missed out on a lot of world events, which include politics, entertainment, and of course, automotive. So, if you don't mind, could you tell me about some of the most important occurrences (if you would like me to be more specific, I just PM me)? I would really appreciate it!
P.S. There was a German counselor at my camp who is apparently a famous German soap opera star. His first name is Stewart, so maybe some of you know who he is? (he's tall, thin, and has black hair)

Well basically a fool is dropping bombs all over the world, Italy is playing France to win the world cup, Australia is still cold but still without rain, people are still dying of poverty and others are still earning billions per second, the world hasn't reached eternal peace yet and we still don't know why we're here

Uhm...about the only important thing I can think of (besides the escalating conflict in the middle east), is the fact that the North Koreans (that is to say, the government, not the people) launched a missile test and a new conflict is brewing because of it.

I just hope the Mainland doesn't re-start their "missile tests". X___X But who can blame then? President Chen and Vice President Lu are morons. X__X

You haven't missed much in the auto-related areas. Sure there were a few model introductions (check the new car sections) but nothing like during the main auto show circuits. Things will be back in montion starting this Sept. News-wise, GM-Renault-Nissan is somewhat interesting and being discussed heavily; otherwise a normal slow summer season.
In North America, the US had its 4th celebration; Canada had its Canada Day; New Jersey is slowly getting back on-line after budget is finally approved.
In sports, you have your Wimbledon and FIFA finals this weekend, All-Star game (baseball) this Tuesday, and Tour de France underway.
Check the major news sites for the rest of the stories/events you may have missed...
Folks, please avoid getting into political debates - FYI
