If the World Were a Village of 100 People

The village would have 60 Asians, 14 Africans, 12 Europeans, 8 Latin Americans, 5 from the USA and Canada, and 1 from the South Pacific

51 would be male, 49 would be female

82 would be non-white; 18 white

67 would be non-Christian; 33 would be Christian

80 would live in substandard housing

67 would be unable to read

50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation

33 would be without access to a safe water supply

39 would lack access to improved sanitation

24 would not have any electricity (And of the 76 that do
have electricity, most would only use it for light at night.)

7 people would have access to the Internet

1 would have a college education

1 would have HIV

2 would be near birth; 1 near death

5 would control 32% of the entire world’s wealth; all 5 would be US citizens

33 would be receiving --and attempting to live on-- only 3% of the income of “the village”

    Sorry about the bad language.
  • My village consists of no idiots. Admissions are based on logical tests. If you fail the testing procedure, you're burned at a stake 'til death.
    What has DEATHBORN got to do with this?
  • I didnt make it I copyed it what I would do math? I am a MIT buy who cares!
  • Poor ergo, he was just posting some information and you guys are just face-slaping him for it.

    Seriously guys, there's no need to impale him with a stake and set him on fire for it.

    Sounds tempting.. but Demoncard's had cookies and shit.
    I would use them to choke him to death and keep his village.

    Yeah...well...this thread is special.

    Deflun, cookies cannot surpass the might and intellect of Demoncard!

  • Your existance is a reduced to someone farting on the universe, so it wouldn't be the first time.
  • If the world was a village of one hundred people I would be the one hundred and first person wandering out of it.
