(Archives July 31st 1997 , newspaper clipping I found. )
If we could shrink the earth’s population to a village of 100 people,
with all the existing ratios, remaining the same,
it would look like this.:
There would be 57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere
8 Africans
51 would be female
49 male
70 would be non white
70 would be non Christian
Half the wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people and
All 6 would be citizens of the USA
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer malnutrition
Only one would have a college education and
no one would own a computer.
Interesting. :)
Excellent my friend. Great post :)
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing! I wonder how they come up with this stuff, though!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, very thought provoking indeed! I wonder how it would compare to stats from today? Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the stats can be expanded to the number of people that are actually on the planet
ReplyDeletePays to keep old clippings :)
ReplyDeleteLooking at those stats with smaller numbers but the same ratio seems to bring it to a level that easier to comprehend. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine if they put in the real numbers it wouldn't look as shocking as when you put it in small numbers
White people are doing birth control to save the planet while the rest of the world is exploding babies many of which are dying because the planet cannot support every one, especially if they will reproduce as well.Poverty will continue to exist, suffering,and wars and God will be blamed because man takes no responsibility for his behavior.
Saying everything is ok, doesn't make it so.Being politically correct doesn't make it correct either. But then that is just my opinion lol
