If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look similar to this:?

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere
8 Africans

52 would be female
48 would be male

70 would be non-white
30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
All 6 would be from the United States

80 would live in substandard housing;
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near death
1 would be near birth

1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer

    hmmm... I wonder how current it is - and how it would/has changed if it isn't. The only thing that makes me think it's more current than 30 years old is the reference to a computer.

    Answered Whatever. I don't think.

    I would probably be the ruler of the village, and I'd make sure that everyone make love to populate the earth again. Heck, we need someone to pay taxes. :)

    - good information. We, in US, rave about everything we do not have adnauseum (not that we are perfection by any stretch) What we rarely think about is how much we have in relationship to the world population; we just want more. I dunno if that is really bad or good - sure makes us push the envelope when it comes to striving for success and gaining possessions. Very interesting!

    Sure reduce the 545 people who control the 300 million of us down to a manageble size.

    I just mean, from reproduction stand point, they won't
  • raves +1   [-] by Christopher
    ok. Thanks for clarifying. But let me just say that the use of the word "homos" doesn't quite lead the reader in the direction you intended. It's not exactly a "welcoming" term.

    "from reproduction stand point, they won't"??????????????????
    If I'm not mistaken, most homosexuals are the offspring of 2 heterosexual parents.

    I was wondering if someone might pick that up!

    what I want to know is how does the one person get a college education if no one is qualified to teach
  • raves     [-] by SAM
    You are right! I never thought of that!
