Toonraider 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 If we could reduce the world’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this: 60 Asians 12 Europeans 5 US Americans and Canadians 8 Latin Americans 14 Africans 49 would be female 51 would be male 82 would be non-white 18 white 89 heterosexual 11 homosexual 33 would be Christian 67 would be non-Christian 5 would control 32% of the entire world’s wealth, and all of them would be US citizens 80 would live in substandard housing 24 would not have any electricity (And of the 76% that do have electricity, most would only use it for light at night.) 67 would be unable to read 1 (only one) would have a college education. 50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation 33 would be without access to a safe water supply 1 would have HIV 1 near death 2 would be near birth 7 people would have access to the Internet If to take a look at the world from this condensed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes evident. Think of it! If you woke up this morning with more health than sickness, you are luckier than the million that will not survive this week. If you have never experienced a war, a loneliness of an imprisonment, an agony of tortures or a famine You are happier, than 500 million persons in this world. If you are able to go to church, mosque or synagogue without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are happier, than 3 billion persons in this world. If there is a meal in your refrigerator, if you are dressed and have got shoes, if you have a bed and a roof above your head, you are better off, than 75% of people in this world. If your parents are still alive and still married, then you are a rarity. If you have a bank account, money in your purse and there is some trifle in your coin box, you belong to 8% of well-provided people in this world. well i dont know if these stats are correct, but i certainly feel happier with my lot after reading that email!
