the villiage..not dread related but will make ya think

What if we were 100 people?

If the Earth population were a small community of 100 people, it would be something thus:

Sex
50 men
50 women

Population by continents
61 Asians
12 Europeans
14 Americans
13 Africans
1 Australian

Religion
33 are Christian
18 are Muslim
14 are Hindus
16 are not religious
6 are Buddhist
13 people practice other religions

Economy
41 live without basic cleaning
47 live in an urban area
6 people have 59% of the total fortune
18 live without a potable water source
18 people fight to survive with less than $1 or per day
53 people fight to survive with less than $2 or per day

Feeding
13 are hungry

Education
14 cannot read
7 have secondary education
12 have a computer
3 have connection to Internet

Health
1 adult between 15 and 49 years has AIDS
9 are incapacitated people

More data
The village uses more than $1,12 trillions in military expenses
The village uses only $100 billions in aids to the development
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes in your locker, ceiling on your head, and have a bed for sleeping, you are richer than 75% of the whole population of the world
If you have a banking account you are one of the 30 richer people in the world


i feel rich now do you?

 

this is very thought provoking,made me think,i feel really great after reading this. u have a good easter?

 

I am unsure on whether I should feel good or bad
Nevertheless, it gets you thinking

nice one SE

 

it actually depresses me.
i don't feel good about myself, i feel bad about the others.

 

honestly it doesnt get me thinking at all.
its all make believe names and numbers.
theres no meaning to any of them.

 

its called percentages
reduce the cufrrent 10 billion or whatever to 100 keeping the same rations
the percentages speak much louder when you look at itt as just 100 people

 

Same here. It's quite unsettling.

 

are ther no hispanics in these numbers?!? lol haha and i thought we were taking over lol

 

It's divided into continents. Mexican's technically are Americans as they are a part of North America.

 

yea it does make me feel a little strange, being born and raised where i am in the world, i feel lucky for sure

 

Made me think, "I remember seeing that children's book at work"



then I shrugged and thought, "Well we all kinda know about that anyway", then I closed the thread and wondered if I'm a callous bitch

 

Only one Aussie... bugger. I'd get lonely on my island.

 

Just What Do You Mean By "My" Island..??..

Let Me Gently Remind You "Sunshine"..

(1)..I Am Older Than You.

(2)..I Am Uglier Than You...

(3).. I Am Grumpier Than You............AND..

(4)..I Was Here First......O.K..?.:toetap05:.

Tis My Island.......And Mine Alone.

So Be A Good Little "Ex Aussie".....And "PISS OFF"...Ya Hear..??.



Cheers Glen.
