It's known as Google and Wikipedia, you can do it too if you have a massive inclination to prove others wrong.

Not quite, i can't just simply type in israel and be presented with all the information i need, with some things you need to now about them before you can research them, and even if you have some rudimentary knowledge on the subject that sometimes can't be enough to get you the whole story. Even with the best google fu in the world and limitless time you still need knowledge in the area to direct your searches and filter through the crap...

To give an example if i had never heard of the incident where the israeli olympic team was targetted and the israeli reaction how in the hell would i ever get around to that information with just wiki and google... with all the other crap i would have to get through i would never get around to it... its not just tribesman but in almost any topic we discuss someone will come along with some little known fact that i couldn't have simply searched out because i never knew it exsisted.... ok im rambling now.... im going to shut up...
